Some of the database software does come with templates, like word
processors usually do, one of which is often a "Home Inventory" or
"Record / Video Collection" type of database which could potentially be
modified to fit this idea, although again the combining of records into
a separate record may not be possible without some heavy modifying.

I don't know if there's a Windows version and I haven't used it, but
for Mac OS 10.10 users who see FileMaker Pro as being too expensive
(which it is for just this need), there is a database application
called "Records" which might be a good alternative (£22.99,
http://pushpopcorn.com ). The review in the May issue of the UK's
MacFormat magazine gave it 4 stars out of 5.

Helpful Harry  :o)
