Any movie lover like me will definitely understand the need to keep track of all his movie collections with a movie library. It is easy to lose track of movies in a big collection, so to keep better tabs of my movies whether they are ripped movies from DVD or downloaded movies from the internet in a visually arranged manner, I use some movie cataloging tools.
So today I am going to share with you the top 5 free movie library software for Windows as I have noticed that most of the movie library tools are premium tools and not many people can afford the money to buy them.
1. Personal Video Database
Personal Video Database helps you manage your movie collections in order. It is optimized for cataloging and maintaining a large movie collection. It is the first in my list of “Top 5 free movie library software for Windows” because it is a great program and its ability to group and search make it quite easy to find movies. It also accepts plugins that can retrieve detailed information about any movie online.
Personal Video Database comes with a wizard that can import cover arts, cast information and many more from the internet movie database IMDB and other similar sites.

Hello Nwosu,
Being a bookworm and a confirmed Internet addict, I hardly have time for movies. The only one on the list I’m familiar with is My Movie Library.
My Movie Library serves my needs excellently. However, when I’ve got time, I’ll check out the others.
Do have a great day…and thanks for sharing!
