My biggest complaint about contributions that I have always had over the years and will continue to have them as I don't think there will ever be any changes to this soon-:  is the fact if a movie is released as the exact same film from beginning to end to end is the fact of crew and cast names are never consistant from one locality to another ..  Title in point these past few weeks has been the final season of Breaking Bad .. I could not find the cast and crew for either Canada Quebec  or the USA . .none....  zero...  nada ..

BUT wait  here I find on the UK location someone ( a big thank you by the way) took the vast amount of time and energy and submitted line after line of crew and cast for the UK version of Breaking Bad  and it was was accepted and contributed to the world wide digital base for Invelos/Profiler .. 

Now why could this NOT be done for all localities?  because now after I copy and pasting the crew and cast into the major locations of USA /  and Canada .. I will am now (un-thankfully) taking credit for this ..

It will be accepted and admitted to the database ..    Someone will for sure say ' but different locality's have differant versions  therefore there may or may not be some deleted character '' ( not in this case though) .,, and IF that is the case just submit the change on the approved data .. don't just have no data at all ..  which doesn't seem right or correct if we want the Profiler to be as good as it can be ..


Well, cloning profiles have always been acceptable, but you still need to state where you got the data so you can't take credit for it I'm afraid.

No I did say in my notes that data was taken from approved UK edition ..  I was just stating that after it is approved and you click to see where data was contributed from .. my name will show up ...

Well, I got the cream of the crop!!

I don't give a flying toss if the info on the back of the disc is WRONG. It is the info that is on the cover and that is fine by me and also it makes it easier to enter a disc.

So, I do (if you read my post correctly) have a conflict with a DVD. What if that DVD is in Spanish, French or German. am I supposed to accept that profile into my database ? I think not.

Oh! who was it said 'a low res cover scan is better than none' ? well matey, when I purchased this programme I was promised high res cover scans! well, is that a rule that has changed ?

I have noticed recently that most of the DVD's that I have purchased do not come up in the database, could that be because no one is buying this programme so no one is uploading profiles ?

I don't sit in front of my TV and watch 6000+ disc, I only use this as an Insurance aid and was willing to help others download my profile. pfffft!


I am confused by your original post, as well as this one.  It might clear things up if you state what profile you are talking about...
