"I've not used it myself, but heard good things about Ant Movie Catalog (yes, it's a silly title). It seems to satisfy all your demands thought - free & open source.

"MBase allows you to manage your movies in an easy and comfortable way. With the help of an online database you just need to enter the title and MBase will fill out the fields with the appropriate data on its own. Covers and also even the actors (their birthdays and photos too) are automatically added.

Free of charge with no Spyware
Data for movies and actors off the Internet
Loan Management to keep track of lent movies
Statistics to analyze collection
Wikipedia directly integrated
VirtualFlip to browse through collection

MBase is freeware and portable."

"For all my movies organization needs I just use http://mymoviescollection.net/

The service is great and you can play around with several settings that we'll make it be perfect for your needs, such as Movie location (like a folder or a shelf), format (such as DVD or digital copy), loaned or not, etc...

It now also let's you manage which TV Shows seasons and episodes you already own (downloaded) and seen or not.

There's also a mobile version that works like a charm on the iPhone, Android and Windows Mobile."

"MeD's movie manager fits most of these requirements.

MeD's Movie Manager is a simple to
use, yet customizable, movie manager.
Info is automatically retrieved from
IMDb and tv.com. Technical info can
also be retrieved from media files
like AVI, OGM, MPEG and DVD (ifo).
It's written in Java and should
therefore run on most desktop systems
supporting Java.

MeD's Movie Manager is a free software
distributed under the GPLv2 or later
license, you may download binaries and
source code for no cost at all."

"I'm not sure if you just want to organize movies that are already tagged, or if you want to be able to tag the movies (so that they show up correctly in media players like the Apple TV). But if you want the latter, you should check out MetaX for Windows as it makes tagging your movies extremely simple.

It goes out to multiples sources (Amazon, tagChimp, tmdb, tvdb, ...) to get information about the movie and then writes the tags so they display perfectly on the Apple TV, or other media players.

There is also a companion product MovieLibrary, which is a simple Movie Manager. MetaX is $9.95 and MovieLibrary is free. Full disclosure, I wrote both products.

Anyway, for tagging mp4 files (and their variants), it doesn't get any easier than MetaX."
