Barcode Reader

[mcbain]

Does anybody have an idea of which program i could install on my N95 or PC that can read/interpret DVD barcodes.
I found a program for my PC that could utilise my N95 as a reader but it just wouldnt work with specific barcodes.
This would be the easiest and coolest way to catalogue any DVD collection.

I remember that my N93i barcode reader could read those lined barcodes as in the ones on DVDs.

I think with the latest firmware (months old now) the barcode reader ONLY reads the square 'nokia' codes.
That will be why it constantly zooms in and out, trying to read the code.
If you can find one of those codes (my avatar) try shooting that.

used it today on some blog site and works pretty cool. got the accelerometer and the light saber using the barcode scan.

That light saber thing is pretty cool.
Once 'nokia codes' came out, i've noticed the square "pixelated" barcodes on all sorts of different products.

But back to the point, i'm trying to find a data base type program for my laptop that i can simply scan the codes on my dvds to catalogue them. Anyone have any ideas?

I've searched google with 1000's of combinations of my wording and still cant find anything.

If you use firefox, you have to get this extension:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2780

Whatever page you are viewing, this extension will make a barcode for it. Just hover the mouse over "barcode" and a barcode pops up. View it on your phone's barcode reader and soon you can see the same page in the S60 browser.
