Add Selections

CineCenter provides a number of ways to add movies into your collection...

Choose from the Icons to Add Selections to your Collection. You can choose to Type-In a list of Titles (or open an already prepared text file list of titles), select individual Video Files, scan the UPC Barcode of a DVD box with a 'Wedge' type barcode scanner, or add all the the movie files found in a Video Folder.

Type-In Title List

Enter the Titles of the movies you want to search for and add to your CineCenter Collection. You can also load a previously saved title list. Oftentimes it is very helpful to add the Year of the movie after the Title. "Movie Title (Year)" This will help CineCenter find the correct movie and eliminate movies by the same name and "remakes".

Video Files

Choose individual video files by holding the Ctrl, or Shift key, while clicking files to select multiple files. CineCenter will create a list of these files and a list of *Suggested Titles.

Video Folder

Browse to a folder that contains your video files. All the recognized video files in the chosen folder will be processed. Afterward, you will be presented with a list of these video files and a *Suggested Title which you can edit before adding to your Collection.

* Suggested Titles are based on the filename of the movie file, not the content of the file. Typically, movie files are named according to the movie. For example, "Movie Title (Year)" The Add Video Files Wizard creates the suggested title based on this naming convention.

Scan-In UPC

Use a "Wedge-Keyboard" type Barcode Scanner to scan the UPC Barcode on the back of your DVD Box and press the Search Button, or strike the {Enter} key.

If your scanner software allows, you may be able to include the {Enter} keystroke after the scan. Otherwise, check the "Auto-Enter" option to automatically send an {Enter} keystroke when 12 digits have been entered into the Barcode Textbox.

As Barcodes are scanned a Title List will be built. CineCenter will lookup the number and return the associated Title on record. Press the Edit Button to edit the Titles as needed. Press the Delete button to Remove a Title from the List. You can Export this Title List for later use by pressing the Save button.
