My Movies for Windows Home Server is a single add-on program for Windows Home Server, providing a set of features around movies and music, making it the perfect solution for adding, identifying and maintaining movie and music data on your Windows Home Server, serving it to different Media Center solutions or music playback devices.

My Movies Monitor will automatically identify movie folders in your Windows Home Server's video libraries, and add high quality meta-data to to the titles, making the meta-data available to several numerous Media Center software products, as well as storing a folder image for the movie folders when browsing the folders with Windows Explorer. 

The data will be stored directly in the movie folder as an XML file, front and back cover image files, as well as a folder.jpg file, making the data openly available to any program that supports them, including My Movies, Media Center's DVD library, using the "DVD library Connector", Media Portal, XBMC, Niveus Movie Library and Open Media Library for Windows Media Center.

Disc copying has never been easiser, simply insert a DVD or Blu-ray into an optical drive, and the copy process will start automatically, while you have a full detailed overview in your Windows Home Server console, after about 15 minutes for a DVD, or about 45 minutes for a Blu-ray, depending on the size of the disc, and the processing power of your Home Server, the disc will again be ejected from the drive.
