Hey Alan, I bet any librarian would be happy to tell you how they do it:

 

I am to the point with my DVDs that I really need a database app to 
track them.  Especially for tracking after the have been loaned out.

Basic requirements:
- Stores basic movie information
- Stores the bar code from the package to be used for indexing.  I have 
one of those "cuecat" barcode scanners, modified to only do ASCII 
barcode data.
- Stores who checked it out and when
- Search and sort on various fields

Nices:
- Web interface would be cool
- Automatic info from IMDB would be cool
- Low system requirements

I am searching freshmeat and other places.  There are many to choose 
from so I thought I would ask for recommendations.

Alan
