LuJoSoft Movie Nfo Creator is a legacy Windows-based utility designed to automatically generate and format .nfo metadata text files for your digital movie collection. Originally developed in the early 2010s by LuJoSoft, it provides a quick way to catalog video files before importing them into home media servers. Key Features
Dual Data Scraping: The app reads technical file details directly from your local video file (e.g., video codec, resolution, bitrate, audio channels). It simultaneously scrapes thematic movie data (e.g., plot summaries, actor cast lists, release dates, genres) from online databases like The Movie Database (TMDB) and IMDb.
Layout Templates: It outputs cleanly aligned text layouts using custom templates. This allows users to easily post uniformly formatted movie specs onto online forums, torrent trackers, or private data archives.
Quick Workflow: Users can search for a movie title, link the respective video file, click “Create Nfo”, and copy or save the results immediately. Included Metadata Fields The tool compiles a highly detailed text summary including:
Movie Info: Title, original name, storyline, tagline, rating, certification, studio, and runtime.
Video Specs: Resolution, aspect ratio, frame rate, container, video codec, and video bitrate.
Audio Specs: Audio codec, bitrate mode, channel count, and sampling rate. Important Historical Context
While you can still find downloads via archiving sites like Soft112, the software has been discontinued for many years. Because it relies on older API configurations to communicate with external databases like TMDB, online scraping features may throw errors or fail entirely on modern systems.
For a modern alternative with a similar workflow that natively integrates with platforms like Kodi, Plex, or Jellyfin, most archivists now use tinyMediaManager. LuJoSoft Movie Nfo Creator Final – Page 3
