None that I would be aware of, and this is for a very good (legal!) reason.
Most of this "Third Party"-material has copyrights (especially data form IMDb and Amazon).
Another reason is that these sources a known to be inaccurate.
The ultimate valid source is still the DVD itself. All the data needed for a profile can be found on it.

Usually (if entered via UPC / EAN) you should get quite pleasing results for your collection from our database too. Just go to DVDProfiler menu "DVD -> Add to Collection... -> Add by UPC". Except for some rarities or very new releases you will find that most profiles are already there with a (mostly) high accuracy in the quality of the data.

EDIT: If entering the UPCs manually takes too long (800 DVDs will usually take about 5 hours of typing an downloadtime) you might want to consider a barcode scanner.

Is there a way to data mine/scrape the data from a "known" web site, like imdb, blu-ray or amazon (all .com) ? I am finding myself manually entering quite alot of profiles for our DVDs and having to cut and paste each individual element is getting old fast. Even if there was a way to parse and pull in the actors, runtime, etc.. the basic data, that would be great. I have looked at the plugins and poked around the program quite a bit, but just am not seeing anything that will do what I need. I have less than 150 out of the 800 discs we have (combination BD and DVD) and already I am frustrated . Any assistance or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Well, Sparkss. Number one the vast majority of websites, particularly IMDb don't permit data scraping, it represents a violation of their Copyright. The second point is are you referring to your own local data or are yyou wishing to contribute. IF you wish to contribute read and follow the Rules, which means no data scraping from ANYWHERE and no data from elsewhere. our rules spell out where we are to get the data from for Contribution purposes. Yes it is time consuming to do it correctly, it took me three years to get through my collection. But and again I stress that for Contribution purposes there are no useful shortcuts.

Not true. Cloning profiles and confirming them against the credits is a shortcut, particularly if you find the credits are the same.

Agreed. I do it often with Blu-ray submission where I take the DVD data, check if the credits remained unchanged and copy-paste. It saves the time of having to re-enter the same data. I do the same also for Blu's from a different regionality, and adapt the credits where necessary (if necessary).
