Curious if anyone on here has bought into either format. I got weak a while back and got a Blu-ray standalone player to go with my HD-DVD standalone. Seems like the format "war" is kind of at a stalemate for the time being. After having both for a while, I have to admit they both look equally amazing. I guess it's just up to which studios support which format exclusively in the end.

Its free for up to 50 DVDs, then a one time fee to purchase the software. I like it because it has all the info you could ever want about the DVD, the ability to enter them by barcode, and its ability to customize and export all the data to XML or various other data files.
