| I'm starting to guess those pages are originally created when a new profile is submitted and that it doesn't get auto generated or regenerated when updates are made. Hence the reason why this seems to exist only for profiles that were newly submitted around the time the server crashed. | Posted: Topic Replies: 3, Topic Views: 1597 |

| Your online collection also looks weird. It's only showing 40 titles and the title field is blank for all of them. | Posted: Topic Replies: 10, Topic Views: 1440 |

Collectorz seem to have canceled the desktop version of Movie Collector. Apparently only the smartphone and the Android app are available. I also had less good experiences with the company in the past when the promise of lifetime licenses was canceled.
Their web site still shows the Windows (and Mac) version, at $39.95 per year.
Where is it listed as the new site seems to have omitted it. | Posted: Topic Replies: 92, Topic Views: 15406 |

If the Rating Details rule is followed literally then it also includes conjunctions such as [although, before, after, because, how, once, since, that, unless, until, when] as being in lower case because they are all joining words.
Was that the rules intention?
The guidelines specifically mention joining words which are conjunctions, but not all conjunctions, and depending on use, are joining words.

Ok, but that would be for titles. Why apply it to the rating details when the guidelines state:
Quote:
For English profiles, capitalize all words except joining words such as "of", "the", "a", "in", etc."
I seriously doubt that Ken actually intended that different capitalization rules should apply to Titles and Rating Details.
The rule for Rating Details is vague:
capitalize all words except joining words such as "of", "the", "a", "in", etc.
My guess would be that the Titles rule started out equally vague, and then Ken decided to make it clearer by introducing the capitalization tool, but he neglected to clarify that the Rating Details should follow the same rule.
I'm not sure we can assume that as Ken specifically mentioned "joining words" which "Off" is not. | Posted: Topic Replies: 23, Topic Views: 3447 |

I don't know, but that's how Ken's capitalization tool does it, so I follow suit.

But shouldn't people already know what the generic advice is then for the rating?
What does that matter? Ultimately the rules say we should enter the details that are on the cover in the absence of other sources, so if this is what's there it is within the rules to include it. Removing it or voting no on it is not.
It matters because we don't, and have never, include(d) the rating definition in the rating details. The rating details are the descriptors for why a specific film received the rating it did and is unique to that film. The definition is just a boiler plate/generic explanation for the rating which is independent to the film.
For the US' PG-13 rating we don't add "Some Material May Be Inappropriate for Children Under 13" to the rating details field.
I don't see why this would be any different for other countries. | Posted: Topic Replies: 12, Topic Views: 2910 |

| I do too, but it's obvious there aren't enough people downvoting to have the posts automatically removed as is evident by the fact that the posts are still here and the option to down vote the first wave has disappeared. | Posted: Topic Replies: 5, Topic Views: 1780 |

Wayback Machine shows some broken images, too.
Will guess (clamshell) on my next contribution. 
The archive is just documenting a snapshot in time. Since those images disappeared at different points in time you have to go back further in time. Here's one that shows the clamshell pictures.

| Makes sense as you wouldn't want a title overruling all others simply because it had more releases. | Posted: Topic Replies: 3, Topic Views: 1531 |

| I continue to down vote each one, but apparently not enough people do given the prevalence of posts remaining. It's why there are so many attempts because they know they have a better likelihood of success. | Posted: Topic Replies: 3, Topic Views: 1693 |

Thanks. That's probably more than what I want to spend just to load UFD Disc IDs into DVD Profiler.
As far as drive enclosures go, I have this which I could recommend more:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01K7HMVQ6?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1
It plugs into the back of most drives (including the internal Blu-ray writer which I salvaged from another machine) and treats them as if they were external.
I'm curious about the LG BH16NS55, however. I looked it up on Amazon and it doesn't seem to mention UHD support. Are you sure it can read the DISC IDs of UHD discs?
A lot of older LG Blu-ray drives were compatible with UHD though they never mentioned it in the specs. It's possible the newer versions have an updated firmware that disables that capability, but a lot of times you can flash or cross flash firmware to retain or obtain that feature. | Posted: Topic Replies: 7, Topic Views: 3694 |

| Add the release as a boxset and then add each film as a child profile based on the 4K disc IDs. | Posted: Topic Replies: 1, Topic Views: 1024 |

| I happened to receive a random error popup window today and when trying to submit the error to Invelos it failed. I'm guessing either there's a service not running or a port not opened on the new server and is a side effect from the server failure/rebuild process. I wonder if there's a similar issue for the incremental OPL update. | Posted: Topic Replies: 30, Topic Views: 11202 |

Titles that cannot be matches are few, and currently not imported - we are looking to extend the importer to create personal profiles for titles that cannot be matched, but we naturally cannot import covers and detailed data based on the XML only from DVD Profiler.
That technically isn't difficult to do if you have DVDProfiler installed and they know where DVDP is installed. All they have to do is copy/import the files from the current DVDProfiler location.
However, My Movies was really designed for streaming copies of your movies and the Windows interface is lacking.

I didn't even try since you can download Windows 10 from MS for free but you have to pay for Windows 11. Since I only run DVD Profiler using Bootcamp on my Mac, it didn't seem cost effective.
Actually, you can download Windows 11 for free from MS, and install it if you have a existing Windows 10 license. Are you saying you don't have a Windows 10 license? | Posted: Topic Replies: 92, Topic Views: 15406 |
