I am no longer able to export the MPAA rating field when using the .CSV export function.  It worked back in November but now it doesn't work.  The other fields that I export work ok.  I have written several programs that need that information in order to work correctly.  I am at Ver 3.5.1 Build 1252 with DVD Profiler.

If you look in the thread for this plugin, you'll see that it's a problem since version 3.5.  Ken made massive changes to that area of the program but we don't have the updated code from him yet to adjust our plugins to read that information.  As soon as we get that code to update our plugins, this will be fixed.  Until then, I don't really know of a work around.
Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.

What am I doing wrong? I followed the directions on the link you gave me and when I open DVDProfiler under the plugins tab I can see the plug in for the .csv but when I try to export I only get the .xml file? I dont know if this matters but I just updated to the latest version of DVDProfiler this morning. How am I supposed to export to a .csv file?

From the link posted above:

Simply run the Setup.exe program inside then startup Profiler.  You should now see a new option listed under the Tools menu called "Export Profile Database to CSV".  This pretty much works just like the old export function with a few new goodies added.
Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.

After installing the plugin, run DVD Profiler > Tools menu > Export Profile Database to CSV...

Edit: Well, now you have the Author of the plug-in in person
