There is of course the possibility to lend movies but is it possible to implement a function for the movies I borrowed from any friends? So I can see what films a saw which I don't own.

just add the film as normal to dvd profiler and either put it in a separate collection group or add it to one of the standard ones but with a tag saying "watched but not owned"

Do you know that you can add sections to your icon list? You are not limited to Owned, Watched and Wish List.

Place your cursor on the Owned, Watched and Wish List section and right click. A box opens that has Owned, Watched, Wish List and Other.

Click on Other and another box opens.

Click on Edit Collection Categories.

This opens up a box that allows you to add icons for different things. In your case you might want to name one Borrowed DVDs.

I don't think this was mentioned: You could also add a special user to the database, using any name, such as "MeAsBorrower," and lend the title to yourself.

Then you can use all the built-in functions for filtering, due-date reminders, etc. Edit: Yeah, I agree with VirusPil, this is on top of the Custom Category - that's actually what I meant.
Thanks for your support.

This is also a good idea: but I would combine it with a custom category, otherwise he would have movies in his collection he doesn't own.

yes, that's the problem. all these suggestions are very helpful but it's not the "official" way. I'm sure Invelos could implement a small tool or function which organizes the borrowed movies more simple and more beautiful.

What's complicated or ugly about a category named Borrowed? You'd have a tab (similar to Owned and Wishlist) named Borrowed, which would have all your borrowed movies. They could have no numbers or they could have their own numbering system, either way they wouldn't have to be a part of your actual collection. And when you add the movie you would simply select to have it downloaded right into your Borrowed category instead of your Owned category.

I can't envision something that would work better.
