Sitting in front of the home theatre PC carefully migrating all 600-odd of my DVDs into the right format for My Movies to manage because of it's brilliant integration into Windows Media Centre.

After manually entering the first 20-odd titles, I realised I was never going to get through the job unless I let the application help me. So, I pointed the software at the movie directory on the NAS and crossed my fingers.

Unfortunately, the query algorithm they're using to lookup and download the movie information from the server is a bit crook. EVERYTHING with a "the" in the title was identified as "The Making of the Ten Commandments". Similarly, anything with the string "arn" in it became "Barnyard".

Now I have some 251 titles to fix. Errrgh!
