The second way seems to be the fastest way to add information to your media database. The application lets you add new DVD/VHSs either manually or by asking the user to type a title and then fetching more information off the web. On the center you get all the DVDs on the currently selected collection and on the right, you get a drawer with more details about the selected DVD.
