Jeez. Just VISIT the Amazon site. Find the title, and DL the high
quality cover shot they post for nearly every title they carry.
FUCK paying $30 for some lame, non-mutable catalog app that can't even
hold the whole library.
I use Doug's list because it IS the whole library, and I ADD fields to
it for ownership, purchase place and price, in library location, etc.
His work is exemplary, and my mod to the spreadsheet can't be beat.
There is a sceenshot, freshly posted in alt.binaries.misc called
DVD Database. Hell the cover snapshot can even be scaled to taste. Try
THAT with a compiled "store bought" package!
