Readers with large DVD libraries are likely to have come up with various ways to organise them and keep track of any ‘loaners’ - probably with varying degrees of success.

Griffith is designed to organise titles by importing the information - and posters - that are freely available from websites such as the Internet Movie Database (IMDB). It also helps to keep track of those titles loaned to friends and family and which in the past may have had a nasty habit of disappearing.

Here's how to install and use Griffith.
