Spherecorner Axes DVD Sphere

by , 9:35 AM EDT, October 18th, 2007

Spherecorner announced on Thursday that it is discontinuing its DVD Sphere movie catalog application. The company is now recommending its current customers migrate to Bruji's DVDpedia.

While DVD Sphere was seen by many as an excellent movie cataloging application, it had not received any updates since mid-2006.

Bruji is offering DVD Sphere users a 33 percent discount on DVDpedia, and has also detailed exactly how to migrate data from their old database into DVDpedia. Additional information about migrating from DVD Sphere to DVDpedia is available at the Bruji Web site.

DVDpedia,like its brethren and sistern, Bookpedia, CDpedia, and Gamepedia, is superb. It beats Delicious Library hands down, especially for very large databases. I have over 2100 DVDs in my DVDpedia database. It takes about 14 seconds to launch on a (slow by today's standards) 1.25 gHz iMac G4. Sorting by title, date added, etc., takes less than 2 seconds.

(Check the VersionTracker ratings on both: Delicious Library gets 3.4 all-time; DVDpedia gets 4.5. Delicious Library got an Apple design award, as I recall, but that was probably for its appearance, which, to me, is too busy. I don't need to see "shelves" in a list. The difference doesn't reflect a small number of users, either: DL has been downloaded through VersionTracker about 63,000 times; DVDpedia about 75,000.)
