Create a Niche Cataloguing DVDs

Everyone knows one of them (my husband is one) -- a movie fanatic.

They've invested thousands -- sometimes even tens of thousands of dollars in their home theater setup. In the event of a disaster, they'd not only want to replace their collection (and equipment), they'd want to duplicate it, right down to the type of DVD format (widescreen, not full screen).

Add a DVD cataloguing service and add a couple hundred dollars to your profits -- or target this service as an entry-level service to a full home inventory service.

Using DVD Profiler Unlimited (basic version is free, but you'll need the Unlimited version -- $29.95 -- to create custom reports and track more than 50 DVDs) and a CueCat reader (about $10 on eBay). You can scan the bar codes for easy entry into the database.

(System requirements for DVD Profiler: Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista, and the minimum supported screen resolution is 1024x768; not currently supported for Mac OS except when running in "Virtual PC" mode)
