Their application ties in with the IMDB and pulls down movie description/actors/etc... It is so cool AND free. I've also looked at XLobby, which is also free....



The My Movies plugin uses IMDB as well (its free as well). As far as PQ I'm still using a SDTV so its impossible to tell the difference. My friends who do the exact same thing do say they can tell the difference on their HDTV's. One of them tells me he is going to start use DVD Shrink to just rip the mpeg2 off the DVD onto the hard drive. My Movies is very flexable, doesn't really care what format the video is in.

I don't have kids but several of my friends who do this do, and it sounds like it is really good for keeping their little hands off the DVDs, plus makes it easy for them to find what they want to watch.
