I am mostly using a REVIEW site called michaeldvd.com.au to add the details, and am using www.IMDB.com for cast & crew. Some of my submissions are being accepted, and others were declined with a reasoning to not use a third party database as a source. They are NOT a third party database, and I clearly put the site on there. Whoever approves them would simply need to look up the URL once to understand that I am not using a third party database that rivals dvdprofiler.

Surely they can't expect for someone who has 700+ dvds to sit there through the credits to get cast and crew. IMDB is the source for cast and crew for any movie. Movies don't change actors because they're on dvd.

I'm happy to help fix problems on the database, although i'm surprised that Invelos does not fix problems with the database themselves... but this is getting ridiculous. I paid good money for a program to get my database right, and it's so difficult to actually do the work for invelos and update the profiles myself.

Any ideas on how better to do this? I just find it a lot easier to use the site with almost 700 dvds and it takes a lot less time to find the details on there.

Look, i'm only trying to actually help and assist in the database... was just getting frustrated by the process.

Okay, so be it... I'll do it the long and hard way. I was unaware of copyright issues from other websites.

Fair points guys, consider me informed

I am obviously new to this, and believe me that my post came from good intentions.

I love DVDprofiler, and will read the guidelines to make sure i've done it right. I'm assuming all the details are in there. Thanks for taking the time to respond guys.

I am hunting around for the submission guidelines as we speak... I thought there were in here somewhere LOL

As for the submissions themselves, there are a few questions I have if you guys would like to help

Firstly, where do you get SRP from? that can not be found on the cases as I have purchase them either online, at stores lower than SRP, or at sales.

Secondly, if I am taking all the details from the covers... do I just state that on the submission?

Thanks again in advance, and I apologise for my original email... it was the result of a lot of time put into those submissions to see them declined. Although I will take ownership that it was my own stupid fault for not reading the submission guidelines and just using the functions in the program.

I am happy with the fact that it's a user based database, and you are right that $30 is well and truly worth it. Such a great program.

Good morning all,

I am going through my database as there are many errors and features missing on them. I can understand where the UPC does not match on covers, and that's fair enough... that can happen when you have different regions. But there is some major inconsistency with approvals and declines.

Or i'm given a reason that I didn't list a source when I clearly stated a source in the description.
