Rename Movies Titles Using IMDb Information With Zeeb

If you frequently download movies and have plenty of movies/dramas/sitcoms scattered in multiple locations with bizarre titles (having strange pre & post fixes), you may need to organize them and do a lot of titling yourself. Organizing a long movie list is irksome and will waste much of your precious time. Zeeb being an Adobe Air application automates the whole process by offering one-stop solution to organize and add title to each movie. The application fetches movie-specific information/title from one of the biggest movie database on the web – IMDb. The process takes less than a minute to title one huge set of movies, however, changing title of each movie is an non-imperative option, you can skip any movie in your list to exclude it from the list to end up having changed titles of only specified movies.

On the main interface, you’d need to specify a folder where movies are residing.
