Here are some screenshot urls to give you an idea what they often look like. This is the in program view, which you become used to since it is how you create the databases. The HTML export is basically a screen of cover scans with the links being the photos, which brings up more detailed info. So, you could edit that with a bookcase background I imagine. I've used this app below on my XP box.

Below is what I use on my Ubuntu box, though I have GCFilms and GCStar, two similar versions. I have this shiny black shelf color though that will reflect the DVD cases into it, creating a much more realistic picture.

There are probably some other similar apps worth checking out that could be free and for XP that have gotten better or released since I fiddled about with MediaMan. The Wired blogs have had multiple pieces on these apps and the comment sections usually are ripe with such suggestions fyi. I imagine you will have fun whenever you find something you like, if that ends up floating your boat. I just like being able to see what I normally have hidden on my shelves. My wife and I have two 6" tall >< 3" wide bookshelves for DVDs full, with most of my horror collection on the floor in stacks. They are broken down by genre, with anime near the top. I need more anime though.
