Do you also use other ways to catalog your collection, other than DVD Profiler?

I use something extremely basic to track my watched TV (on DVD)... a page per show, with checkboxes, and when I watch something I tick it off with a pen.  It means when I sit down to watch something I can just look at the list of what is on offer and pick an episode (usually unwatched) to view.  For something like the old Flash Gordon serials, it means I'm not trying to remember which episode I was up to, and for something like Danger Mouse I can decide which boxset to pick up if I'm after a particular episode.

I used to have a Word document with some info in it (title, number of discs, region, ratio, audio, what i'd watched on the disc and some notes, often as to whether it was cut or extended and a rough genre) before I got DVDP, and I did run them in parallel for a while, but it became obvious to that the Word version was superfluous so I stopped updating it some 2 years ago now.

I used to keep a paper notebook until I hit about 1000 discs, and then I started using DVD Tracker.  At about 1300 I started with DVD Profiler, and I kept dual track in the two programs.  But DVD Tracker folded I think 2 years ago now so it's just Profiler for me.

I've experimented with an open source program called GCStar. It's getting better all the time but still in it's infancy so far. It's good for more than just DVDs though.

I export my DVDprofiler, and import it in MovieCollector by collectorz. Moviecollector has a very nice export to website feature. One of their users created a very nice template including a search feature where you can search on title, genre, cast or crew member and so on.

The only sad thing is, the import only imports the first 10 cast members.

As for the online database, it goes without saying, DVD Profiler is the best, in part thanks to us nitpickers

I only use IMdb’s ‘My Movies’ to keep track of movies not yet on DVD, once a film is released, it gets deleted in ‘My Movies’ and I start the DVDP process for it.

Only use DVDP. Tried Moviecollector, but didn't like it. Found it to be expensive. Had to buy a license for that (of course), but when I wanted to do some exporting to websites, I had to get another version, which costed more.  DVDProfiler just is the best.
Unfortunately, I can't use DVDprofiler at the moment due to lack of a Windows computer.

Yep, me too. I mainly use it as a wish list for the more obscure titles.

i used DVDP exclusivly when I was running windows but since switching to a mac it doesn't run for obvious reasons. i tried DVD Pedia for the mac and it worked okay but I missed all the cool features that make up DVDP. I finally purchased VMFusion and load XP in a virtual machine and run DVDP that way from my mac and it works great.

I use my CCViewer, of course. I use DVD Profiler mainly for contributing and profile updates. As I am a big TV series on DVD collector, I find DVD Profiler lacking in this regard. I want to be able to track watch dates, reviews, credits, airdates and such on an episode level.
Also there are some other features I wouldn't want to live without anymore. Like doing custom SQL queries, tracking additional information, having other tabs beside "Owned", "Wishlist" and "Ordered". And tracking my manga collection, displaying and editing awards, easier credits editing,...
