| | Posted: | | | | This isn't really a problem with DVD Profiler, but a requested function. If it exists I haven't found it. I would be able to do online DB searches based on Actors names to pull up say all movies done by actor or director. It would be tied to the "Add a DVD" function and would be very useful especially when searching for unknown titles and you know who is in the movie but you can't remember the title. Added to the "Add DVD to Collection" where one may search for titles would be excellent, thus giving the ability to add the discovered movie to "Owned" "Ordered" or "Wish List". Thanks!

| | Posted: | | | | I agree that it is a useful function. Only caveat I see is, that it would probably require the online profile list, which is downloaded to our computers, to become substantially larger. | | | Achim [諾亞信； Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.

| | Posted: | | | | Perhaps rather than downloading the entire profile list, we are simply allowed to use the credit lookup tool directly from the program? So an internet connection would be needed for it to work.
Would everyone accept that as a compromise? |

How about using the Credit Lookup feature of this site?  I have used this feature and it returns entirely too much information and it does not allow one to "Add DVD to Collection" This does not serve my intended purpose even though it has been useful. |

I would not mind an increase in size if it does not impact the search speed to a large degree. Disk space these days is surely not an issue to most persons I don't think, is it? |

I don't think this is stated enough. Since we don't have "core movie profiles", the amount of data to download would be huge. Just use the Credit Lookup Tool, or IMDb, and enter the movie name into "Add DVD to Collection". |
