I really liked DVD pedia when I tried it. However, I don't want to buy four separate apps (for DVDs, Books, CDs, and Games) that essentially all do the same thing.
I can't imagine why Bruji doesn't combine all of their "pedia" products into one offering??
They do have a package [rice - check their site, or email them for details.

The pedias, like Bookpedia, uses various sources for looking book/CD/DVD details up. In Australia it's A&R for boks - I know because I've bought a lot of books during business trips Down Under.
Besides various country references there is also the LOC in the US. You can download a trial (like 10 books limit) to see how it works for you.
I tried DL after I started using Bookpedia and, while I liked the visual design, it was too much for a 600+ library so I stayed with Bookpedia. Since the pedias let you download data to your iPod you can carry a list with you. I actually changed the format a little bit to suit my needs - rather easy for an old fart like me. They also appear to be working on downloading to the iPhone/touch and I anticipate that will be available after June.
Maybe I misunderstand you, but DL does indeed offer syncing with ipods too.

2) In 1.6.x, I can get a group of selections that are a combination (additive) of two of my shelves by Command-clicking on multiple shelves. How can I get a 'subtraction' of multiple shelves?
i.e.- I have a shelf for my "Not Seen" movies (dvds & Blu-rays) and I have a shelf for "Blu-rays." How can I display only movies that are in both, so I see a collection of "Blu-rays that I haven't seen?"

1) Judging by Wil's Twitter feed, it's about ready to drop. Apparently he bought a Macbook Air and it caused DL to crash...
2) You'd have to do it manually, I think. You're setting up a boolean operation like you would if you created a playlist rule in iTunes. Maybe in DL2...
Why do you buy so many films you need to track which ones you haven't seen?

Thought I was bad
Looking good so far, just a couple of cosmetic bugs I've run across and reported.
But where's the $15 upgrade?
