Does anyone here use DVD Profiler?

[vandakeg]

I have the free version, and I absolutely love it. Does anyone have the full (pay) version? The only difference is higher quality cover images, I was just wondering if they were good enough quality to print (like from cdcovers.cc)

Yeah, I have the pay vesion and it's great. I'm not sure if its a lot better than the free version though. The Cover images are a bit better. I don't know about printing out the covers though.

To anyone who doesnt know about DVDProfiler, look here: www.dvdprofiler.com

See my DVD collection that I created with DVDProfiler here: http://www.dvdprofiler.com/mycollection.asp?alias=cplevel42

After you set up your collection locally on your system, you can upload to a FREE site on DVDProfiler.com. VERY COOL!

I have about 100 movies that I need to add to my collection, so I'll do that soon.

Yes and no. The covers are probably roughly the same as those from CDCovers.CC, some are less though.

The differences are the better covers AND the ability to upload to your own DVD Profiler site with no ads.

Yes I do. The cover images on my free version are actually very good. Here's a hint. If you don't have a quality cover image, go to Amazon and save one of thier's. Also don't forget to back up your profiles. I forgot to do that before I changed my motherboard. I lost 180 dvd entries, and that was just the anime stuff.

Very nice program.

I have DVD profiler and its great! The only complaint I have is adding a dvd. I have a few foriegn dvds and dvd profiler would not let me add these dvd's to their database because these dvd's did not have UPC numbers!

Have you checked out DVD Aficionado? IMO it's better the dvd profiler and easier to updated the database. Only drawback is that it doesnt have any info on the movie like dvd profiler.

You don't NEED the UPC code. You can choose by title, or let it try to analyze the disc for you.

But honestly - err... are these LEGAL DVD's? I mean, all DVD's have a UPC. Even the ones that don't really do, they've got a number SOMEWHERE that's a partial or full UPC.

I have alot of import Anime DVDs from Hong Kong and you will notice that no matter what the title is, the UPC is the same number

You can tell DVD profiler to accept your own created UPC. I use the first six numbers of the UPC on the back and then add the ones on the side of the box after it. You will have to scan in your own covers and create your own synopsis though. But hey once you do that you can add it to the online database.

[Gurm]

Yes yes. Like I said there is always a UPC, it's just not always in the little "UPC CODE" box.

Anywho... my big complaint right now is that I can't automatically barcode-scan in a handful of discs anymore. Why? Because every damn UPC for every damn DVD now has multiple options, and you have to select one...

Click... BEEP!

"You have scanned in one of the following titles. Please choose:

Animatrix
Animatrix (Canada)
Animatrix (Hong Kong)
etc. etc."

PISSES ME OFF.
