VidTrak (Digital Video Collection Manager)
VidTrak is a Windows-based software application designed for movie fans to take control of their growing movie collection that they
maintain in digital format. An intuitiver query wizard walks you through the simple process of only displaying movie titles within the VidTrak
listbox that you want displayed (e.g. movies located only in the ACTION or THRILLER folder; movies whose primary actor is Arnold
Schwarzenegger or year of release is 2016). You can output your movie collection report to a spreadsheet or web page (displayable within your
web browser) or send it directly to your printer - you can even configure which listbox columns are generated to your movie report! Every aspect
of the VidTrak listbox is configurable, to include which columns are displayed (and in which order), font type/size/color and more!
What’s New? The new 1.1 release (Feb 2018) has a revamped interface for each screen, with a new font type/size for increased
readability and better use of colorful/meaningful icons. Movie files stored on your media can now be renamed via a popup window that helps
you maintain the proper filenaming convention; unwanted movie files can now be deleted from the browse screen (e.g. a duplicate movie is
located via the browse screen). The listbox export feature was 100% rewritten - the previous version exported every database record to a .HTML
file (viewable in a web browser window); the new version uses the listbox and it’s current query condition (e.g. displaying only movies released in
1980 for the horror genre) that is sent to the exported file - YOU define the listbox columns that will be exported and how the output information
will be sorted (multiple column sorting is allowed, in ascending or descending sequence PER COLUMN). The output can be a .HTML file or a
Microsoft Excel compatible spreadsheet file - the print preview screen can save the report to a Microsoft Word compatible document or sent to
your printer. Listbox scrolling speed has also been improved with this new build. You will be VERY impressed with the significant improvements
in this new release - I use it daily for my collection and it is both a revolutionary AND evolutionary improvement!
VidTrak is very easy to set up to start managing your digital video collection. The first time you run VidTrak the configuration window will
appear onscreen to define 3 things:
1.
Path to where your video files are located. That path can be on your home network or an external USB hard drive
2.
The digital movie file extension(s) that you possess in your digital library. Examples of the file extensions include: AVI, FLV MKV, MKV and
WMV.
3.
The delimiter character you are using within your file extension to separate MOVIE TITLE from PRIMARY ACTOR(S) from YEAR OF RELEASE.
It is highly recommended that you use a semi-colon character (based upon our dozens of hours experimenting with different characters
with our own TV sets and how easily the filenames are viewed within the TV set’s menu display
DONE - VidTrak is ready to scan your digital movie files and build your video database!
VidTrak will run on any computer system that reliably runs Windows XP thru Windows 10 operating systems. Ideally, your computer will
have 2GB or more of memory installed. A mouse is highly recommended, but not required. A color monitor configured at 1280x1024 screen
resolution (minimum) is required. The application, its help files, and data files require less than 15MB of hard drive disc space. A floppy disc drive
is not required. No SQL backend server is required. No specialized network server(s) are required. VidTrak can accommodate up to 1 billion
database records!
VidTrak is available for download as a trial version from the Stealthware Software web site's DOWNLOAD page. Within the installation
file is the entire VidTrak software application and it’s user manual. No features are disabled or crippled - you can use every feature for
approximately 100 database records, in which VidTrak will then not permit you to add a new database record unless a license is purchased from
Stealthware Software. Once you have received the license file from Stealthware Software the VidTrak trial version is then configured as a fully
licensed version - the information that you inputted during the trial is still there and you can forever continue using VidTrak!
VidTrak is your answer for managing your growing digital movie collection with an easy to use software solution. We invite you to
download the trial version from our DOWNLOAD page, kick the tires, and then ORDER your copy - you’ll be glad that you did!
