In trying to free up physical space, I've been digitizing my DVD collection. Now I'd like a way to organize the files. I had read

the question I have is on a recommendation for an application to catalog them. Not to play/stream them, just to keep them organized and to quickly and easily look over my catalog; for playing, I'm fine if the application just tosses the files to QuickTime.
The article mentions using iTunes and Plex, but I find iTunes to be a bloated mess, and I don't want to have to create a Plex account just to play my titles locally--I'm not sure if I'll even stream them over my LAN, just play them on the Mac I'm on.
The biggest problem is that, of the applications I've seen (Cinematica, Filmotech, etc.), they all seem to choke on TV shows, where the Title field only identifies the episode's name; it's the series name that's actually more important, followed by season number and episode name. I want something that is aware of all those things.
