Rename And Find Metadata For Your Movie Collection

If you have a huge movie collection I bet you'll love this software. I'll download meta data like the correct movie name, year of release, plot, actors and their role in the movie, thumbnails, and posters (fan pictures) from the movie.

The download is a .jar file so you'll need a Java Runtime Environment installed on your system. Once you've got Movie Renamer and Java Runtime Environment you are all set to install the software. Go to Run from the start menu or just press 'Win + R' and then type 'cmd' and press Enter. A Command Prompt will pop-up. Note down the path (Mine was C:\Users\Me). Then copy the .jar download to that folder (C:\Users\Me) and then restart the Command Prompt (Not necessary for all but Recommended). The type:

java -jar <fileName.jar>

and then press ENTER. This should start the installation dialog box.
If the installation fails, try any of the other versions from here. For me the first installation failed and the Alpha version 1.3.0 worked fine. 


Once you have the software up and running scan for movies from your computer from the top left button of the Movie Renamer. The as soon as the movies load up you'll see file of only particular formats that means all those subtitles and thumbnail pics are already skipped from the list. But if you have a Movie of some other format that is not already mentioned in the Filters just go to Settings and then go to Filters and add that File Format. 


After this you are all set to get the thumbnails, metadata, and lot more stuff of the movies you like.

Partition Resize,Move,Rename and More..

Do you have a My Computer Windows that looks like this:

And if you are thinking that its because that you computer company intended to be like that, than you are wrong. They did it because its easier for them to just make a single partition and not waste time for creating some other partition. So if you want some more number of partitions, then people at Microsoft have taken care for it already. Just follow the steps:(This steps are for Windows 7 but all other Windows OS will have similar same steps)
1. Click on the Start button and open up your Control Panel.
2. Search for Administrative Tools and open it. 
3. Now search for Computer Management and double click it.
4. Go to Disk Management inside Storage.

I think all of you can take over from here but know that to resize the drives using this Windows Utility you'll have to format the whole drive. It you don't want that to happen keep reading.

So what to do if you want to resize the partition without having to format it? Well, you can use some thing not by Microsoft, of example Paragon Partition Manager. You can even download some other partition managers by just googleing for "Partition Manager"! But Paragon Partition Manager has a free edition which is more than enough for us. Just download it and it has a really great User Interface in which you can just just slide the bar between the drives to resize it, and just drag a drive to move it completely. Once you have rename, resized, or move your drives you'll have to apply the changes and most of the resize changes will ask you to restart the computer. During the time you computer boots up again, a BIOS kind of program will run which actually is working to get you Drive settings in place. It might take some time but its worth it as you wont have to delete the data from your Computer drives.
