Last night I began work on a project I have been planning on working on for a while. I kept thinking about it saying I should do it but never really got into it. Finally last night I started working on it. The first version is planned on being a simple cataloging system for my DVD rips. Currently I organize them in a spread sheet that tells what formats I have encoded and what hard drive they are stored on but the list is getting long and looking through 300+ rows in a spreadsheet is getting annoying. This project will hopefully help me to better organize my rips/encodes so that I can easily search, watch, and organize the movies. The project is being built in Flex 3 and AIR. Probably the best part of the project is getting to take advantage of Adobe’s AIR, which is now version 1.0 and the ability to work with AIR’s ability to write to the local file system in a database file. Right now the screen shot below does not do a whole lot other than allow for you to add a new library, but tonight I plan on adding the functionality to be able to add videos to a library, and just maybe be able to watch them. We will see how it goes.
