Video Rental System Abstract
Existing System:
The video rental centres transacted their videos manually. It was a difficult task to manage
all the videos with their date of issue and return. There was no centralisedrepository of
videos. It was a difficulttask to search for videos. The centres hadtrouble tracking videos and
their due dates. Even the customer details were noted manually. Keeping track of records
was adifficult task.
Proposed System:
This is a simple interface written in VB which could help the user at the rental centre to track
all the rented videos. The user has to log in to the system. The user can view all the videos
that are rented in a list view. Each record consists of the name of the video, the customer
name, the date when it isrented, due date and the video rental cost. The user also can view
all the videos that exists in the centre. It is a huge repository of videos. The database of
videos is categorized into different languages and genres. Based on their category user can
search for a specific video. The customer can subscribe for the videos at a particular cost for
a period of time. These details will be stored in the customer detail in the database. Each
video will have the name, and the date on which video is rented with the customer name. If
the customer exceeds certain rental period then a small fine shall be collected from the
customer. This application has database connectivity to MS Access. Data is fetched from
different tables and displayed to the user in list view. The user has the option to add new
videos to the database. He also has an option to edit the details of video.
