After The interim report, we have some time and taken out in our analysis and valuation questions. So far we have examined each tool separately for specific categories. We have described more or less use of the tool but could make any real comparison between the programs.
The interim conclusion, we found that there are huge differences in the individual target groups. Therefore we have decided a target group-oriented rating system to be tested. This we will here try to explain below.
basic parameters of the software
first be detected with any software, the following facts:
- Name
- tested version
- website
- developers
- Supported platforms and operating systems
- localization of the surface
- sales or development model
- price
- channels
This software appropriate to fully can be estimated, we make an assessment of various categories. In the formation of the assessment categories we have, as mentioned at the beginning, based on different user groups. Each reader can decide to which camp he is one, and whether a software for his interests is appropriate.
In each category we distribute from our defined criteria points. The maximum score given to it differs according to the weight of the criterion in the category. The weight we have on hand in front of our claims.
first General requirements
The criteria of the general requirements affecting all user groups. Here we will evaluate the following criteria:
- Attractively designed surface
- Intuitive interface
- support for problems with the software
- ever recording of all watched movies, regardless of medium
- Automatic online update of film / series-data
- research opportunities in database
- Datenex-/import
- certainty regarding unauthorized access and data loss
In the second category, we try to handle a tool with online and offline communities to collect and evaluate the moment we enter the following criteria:.
- collect data from several persons
- Rental and exchange function for movies, series and all the media
- exchange of wish lists and recommendations
- publishing its own collection
are in this category included the criteria for collectors of large amounts of movies on DVD, Blu-Ray and similar media are particularly important.
- type and efficiency of inventory
- Exact seen the film version
- detecting and assigning of "Special Features"
- work with collection boxes (several DVDs in a box)
- capture shelves and binders
- Leihfunktionen
- buying and selling on a virtual marketplace
- information about new releases
Series media is a rather special case and its management in software is quite complex. We are fully aware of the collector, despite his wish to record series, and draw up the following criteria:
- collection of series
- Discover and map "Special Features"
- notes to the particularities of individual episodes
- "Views" status of a sequence
- evaluation of a series
the needs of users of the various TV Recorder variants, we try with the criteria in this category relate to.
- locations of recorded movies / series manage
- statistics on the remaining capacity on disks
- wish list for missing / missed / Save Money
- TV program guide
- view planning
- connection of the host system
- create cover for the media / print

The criteria cover possible assistance for dealing with payment, borrowed Media and Digital Rights Management "from" Video on demand "platforms.
- list currently rented
- management of return dates
- already on borrowed films and series
- cost overview
- links with lenders
We hope with today presented evaluation criteria and categories your encouragement to find and in the future the evaluation of the individual software prove better. Therefore, we want our readers to give feedback and ask us any relevant information. Maybe we have forgotten single criterion or even a whole target group overlooked.
