The present invention relates to computerized methods and systems for user-interactive, multimedia cataloguing, navigation, the performance of data retrieval and previewing of films and videos. The system comprises an IBM compatible computer, with an Intel 486DX2/66 or higher based CPU, 8 megabytes random access memory, 270 megabyte hard drive and an internal cache for speed. One or more double-spin CD-ROM Drives are used for storage of cover art and film trailers and a full-motion video board with MPEG-1 compression and 16-bit digital sound processing and a touch-screen color monitor. The system is placed in video stores, and the like. Users are potential purchasers of the videos. The system's powerful, but easy to use graphical user interface, quickly leads the user to the desired film or video, wherein the user can read synopses, notes and reviews about the film or video, observe the associated cover art, and in certain instances, say, for about the most current 50-or-so films and videos, view their associated trailers-in full sound and quality video. The system can print out information identifying the chosen film and video for presentation to the store's clerk to aid in purchasing same.
