I use this app to catalog all my DVD’s, BluRay’s, and HD-DVD’s (yes, I still have HD-DVD’s ;)). The video camera scanning is impressive. It scans just like a bar code scanner you might find in a commercial context, even including a “beep” sound to confirm the scan. Every scan, for me,  has been very accurate, but if you happen to have a rare movie, that is not in their database, just manually enter the information your self, and it is uploaded to the database. This app works with all iphone cameras, but probably works best with the iphone 3GS camera

“iCollect Movies” is available now, in the app Store, for $2.99. Due for release this month is, “iCollect video Games”, to catalog your XBOX 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii games. other similar apps in the works, are iCollect apps for music, books, comic books, Lego, Barbie, Beanie Babies, and wine.
