Hi,

This is my first post here, so firstly "hi" to everyone, and secondly, sincere apologies if this has already been mentioned before.

I'd like to suggest that there be someway that DVD Profiler desktop versions have some way that synchronises all the relevant cast and crew information for films with the same name. What I mean by this, is that I often buy multiple different editions of one film, e.g. CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, LE GRAND BLEU, et al, and yet I find cast and crew information is never the same for each version, despite the actual film being identical on each edition I've purchased.

Is there anyway, that a film with more than one release, can have all the information synchronised, or at least have the ability for users to make sure all the info from each release is the same please when it comes to cast and crew?

Additionally, and again, apologies if this makes me come across like a bit of a heathen, but is there a way that users/DVD Profiler itself can extract any missing information from the IMDB, that a user may wish to take from their site, rather than having to slavishly type it in by hand, please?

Thanks in advance,


Pooch

IMDB is not an option for legal reasons. Plus they are seldomly accurate to the credits...

IMDb is, concerning names of actors, much more accurate than dvdprofiler online database (you don't want examples, do you?). There are strictly no legal reasons not to use the real name of actors, and IMDb can do nothing against people doing that.

how is IMDB accurate to the actual film?

For me accuracy to a film is to enter the actors that played in this film in the cast list. Entering invented actors (that are not in credits) is far from accuracy, and that is what we find in Invelos online database. The fact that roles are not accurate in IMDb is real, but this has strictly no importance, as most people do not watch credits, but they see the actors when they watch the movie.

Sorry, but it is not Invelos' fault, that "Gerard Depardieu" is more often in the credits than "Gérard Depardieu". Blame the makers of movie credits.

And using his real name is not a good alternative, that would be "Gérard Xavier Marcel Depardieu".
And in case of "Nicolas Cage" it would be worse, his real name is "Nicholas Kim Coppola", but nobody would know that this is him.

BTW... Happy Birthday to Gérard Depardieu... I read earlier that today he turned 62.

It's "Gerard Depardieu"...

Never saw Gerard Depardieu in credits. If you did, please say in which movie.
On the contrary, I often saw GERARD DEPARDIEU, which is Gérard Depardieu.

I've never seen either GERARD DEPARDIEU, Gérard Depardieu or Gerard Depardieu. However, if I did, I would probably say to either one of them that he's a fine actor.

I don't have a single title with him... so I can't comment on that part.
