Hi,

It would be great if an iPhone could be used as a barcode scanner for adding DVDs. There is a free app that can facilitate this called Zbar Code Reader:

It includes a software library for integration with other applications:
http://zbar.sourceforge.net/iphone/

Thanks

Not really:
If DVD Profiler would accept the import of tab-delimited txt files generated by any barcode scanner such as the free iPhone App RedLaser, we could already import batches of scanned UPCs into DVD Profiler...

Thanks, Tom

From the webpage:
"Features: [...] Cut and paste barcode data into other apps."
So ... basicly everything is there yet, or not?
As for the tab-delimitation, see this post
