Thanks to the two of you I now have the new collection.

The process worked great - I did not have to edit the top of the MM XML file.  The XML conversion took about 2 seconds.  There were several movies that I have had to manually add but they were easy to spot with the aaa in front of the title. When I get time I will go back and check the XML files to identify why some of them didn't automatically load.

Thanks for all of your efforts.

Ugly beast, that XML. No Encoding, randomly inserted " -" 


The random " - " are inserted by IE, when you open and copy an XML file there.

How can I create a new DVDP collection using the XML export file from the My Movies application?

With XSL-transformation! 

Like mediadogg already mentioned, give us an example and we can surely cook up something.


cya, Mithi

Well that went smoothly! We need to check and make sure that your post with the steps gets put in the New Users Migration, and the Wiki, if not already there.

Another thought - do you guys think it is worth putting an "XSL preprocess" option into the BulkEdit XML Import? That way, you just point to the XSL file and I will run it before attempting import.  Any thoughts?

Yes, Tom Gaines explained this ... the ugly beast wasn't the XML but the Internet Explorer
