Good film starts in five minutes. No time to watch. Where do you put it?
"I know I have it taped somewhere... This cassette, or then that one..."
VideoLib is the perfect solution for organized Palm owners that wish to have
full control over their collection for videotapes! VideoLib keeps track of all your videotapes
and what, where and when you have recorded programmes on them. Full knowledge of the length of
each tape, combined with detailed information about the position and length of each recording,
recording dates and available free space gives you total control for utilizing the capacity
of your tape library to the fullest. No more lost recordings, no more futile search for enough
empty space, no more accidental overwrites! What more do you need from a perfect tape organizer?
