Hi!

There's a Yahoo group for the utility IMDBtoDVDP. It's a simple program that provides an aid for entering cast and crew members based on data found on third party websites. It can save a lot of time, but it should only be considered as a starting point for entering the data manually.

You can find it here:

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/IMDBtoDVDP/

IMPORTANT:

1) Please use the group for all questions, suggestions, bug reports, etc. I'll also always upload the latest version to the file area.

2) Do NOT discuss anything regarding this here, because Ken doesn't allow this (for legal reasons).

3) Do NOT contribute titles entered with this utility - use it just for your private collection! If you contributed such titles, you could actually improve the quality of the online database and the hardliners here don't seem to want that to happen ;-)

4) Do NOT use this utility at all, because it violates the terms of the third party website!

5) Use it at your own risk, have fun and save a lot of tedious work!

Regards,
Martin.

That's why I said "do NOT discuss this here"! Who's the one not getting it???

You comment about IMDb accuracy is simply ludicrous, MH. Tell me...what film has IMDb ever made... any of them? What Rules does IMDb governing users data in IMDb. Does IMD require that you backup your claim, or can you just make the claim, is that backup, if any is required, then posted permanently for all other users to be able to see and reference. The answer is NO. First thing you have to understand that there is only a SINGLE source of data that is accurate relative to each and every film, that is that films own Credits. Once you get a head around that concept, and start comparing the REAL data to IMDb and most other sites, you suddenly discover that IMDb is a total disaster.

I'll mock what I please, thank you very much.

Mock, mock.

Maybe instead of complaining about the accuracy uyou allege, you should get to work according to the Rules and help improve that situation.

Actually I think he did get it.  If you're willing to ignore all the legal hurdles and when used right, a tool like this is very helpful.  And it's not the first of it's kind.  There have been several others and they're very helpful.

I'd say if this is the last post ever on this topic, then I have no problem with what he posted.  I won't use it, but there are lots of users who will likely find this very useful.
