Still one of the best catalogue programs, print options need improvements - Version: 7.0b17, 7/7/2008 11:41AM PST

Great Program - Version: 6.0.1, 7/14/2007 12:30PM PST

I find this program to be a wonderful for cataloging your video tape library. It gives you lots of options to store and retrieve your video with powerful search capabilities. Loging tapes for batch lists in FCP works extremely well and makes the job easier than anything I've seen out there.
I agree with the last comment - Version: 6.0b2, 5/20/2007 02:40PM PST

I find this program to be full of features and outperforms anything out there. If you need to find a clip from a movie you took years ago it can find it. The previews take up very little HD space and its logging features are very easy.
The only feature which still needs some work are the printing options which are rather poor since V2 with rather limited customization possibilities.
