Is there a list of prohibited media to bring into Qatar?

I will be moving to Qatar soon, and while I know that certain movies, books, and video games are prohibited, I can't find any list of exactly WHICH ones are prohibited. I have a large DVD collection and I have no way of knowing which ones will be allowed and which ones will not, and I don't want to get in legal trouble for trying to bring in banned material. Is there anyplace I can go to find out? Same goes for video games and books. Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.

If in doubt, don't bring it. You can bring it the next time you go back once you have a better understanding of what is and isn't likely to be permitted.

Yes, I know that, but "Adult content" and "Pornographic" are very subjective terms. Everyone has their own definition of what those mean. How can I possibly know what is ok and what isn't?
