I'd definitely vouch for Media Portal. An excellent open source, free option for organising movies and tv show files - very effective scraping if your file names are meaningful - brining back plot synopsis, cover art, episode caps, cast and crew details, running time, imdb rating. scrape sources are customisable (as is most of the programme) and puts tvdb and imdb to good use. As far as i can tell, it doesn't allow you search by director or actor etc, but it does allow for effective list viewing by year of release or genre etc. There are many plugins available, and maybe one is able to accomodate your needs exactly. failing that, it has a good community, and most plugin creators are open to suggestion when it comes to new and useful features for thier next update. Not so great on the music files though, but my impression of that may be related to the small amount of effort i've put into configuring it.

Unconsummated...? Does that mean that Disney haven't yet "done the deed" to the catalogue of Marvel characters...?

I'm wondering how the "coastal" town of Bowen right on the Whitsunday islands could be referred to as Outback? :)

Check out a free opensource program called Media Portal - it's fantastic for setting up a home theatre PC and organising all your movies and tv shows. I rate it highly.

I tried a few standard cordless mice, and had to go to bluetooth to get further than about 1.8 metres or 6'. The garden variety ones wouldn't reach from my home theatre PC to the coffee table. If you want to use it for presentations or at least from a distance, make sure to check the range - although most boxes won't state any distance/range.

Are there many lawsuits getting around in Australia? Or are they simply trying to get ISP's to warn users off P2P? I haven't heard of any Australian lawsuits, but maybe i've just had my head in the ground...?
