Standalone DVDPcaV1.11 Available

Obsolete. Please use V1.14.

I have just installed v1.14 and I have some issues. Maybe someone can help?

Firstly, this is the first time I have downloaded and installed this plugin. I have DVDProfiler 3.8.1 build 1535 and am using Windows Vista.
I created a folder in c:/program files called DVDpca and copied all files from the zip archive to this folder. I ran the plugin install. That seemed to install OK and I found the plugin under the Tools menu option.
When I try and run the plugin I get an error message "Font 'Arial Narrow' does not support style 'Regular'" Do I need a new font?

The standalone version also gives a Windows error "DVDpca has stopped working. A propblem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." This then gives an option to Debug. Just for kicks I clicked on the Debut option and I get what looks to be a Visual Studio message "An unhandled exception ('System.ArgumentException') occurred in DVDPcaV1.14.exe [13364]."

Any suggestions as to what I have done wrong?

I just confirmed correct operation on my wife's Windows 7 machine, where it was previously not installed. I did get a message about the use of ffmpeg, but it was simply a one-time authorization dialog. The program worked correctly after I said "yes."

Unfortunately I no longer have a Vista test environment, and am reluctant to create one. But if there are a lot of error reports coming in the futire, I might be forced to at some point in time.

I wish I could help more. If I think of something else, I will post right away. Sorry for your trouble.

I am using it... working nicely. No problems with the IFO scanner as I told you in PM... only seen differences using the 2 scanners once. So looks like it is a rare thing.

I put quite a few DVDs through it now. And I don't remember ever seeing anything come up under the General (cont'd) section. But I guess that is normal considering the stuff that is in that section? Something that will rarely fill?

I guess no news is good news ... but anybody using this thing?

Yepp, otherwise we would cry bloody murder! 
Used it recently to spot check the 49 DVDs of my "Star Trek: The Next Generation: 20th Anniversary Collection" to update some of the audio and subtitles that were missing, while I was at adding "color" to them.

cya, Mithi

Looks really cool - ill be trying this out later in the week! I'll let you know how it goes.

I previously reported an issue with this. I had an error saying that there was a font problem. I solved it by re-installing all of my Arial fonts. It appears that the font Arial Narrow is used in the plugin and I didn't originally have that font installed. It works now!

That is great to hear. Sometimes people forget to come back and give updates, so I really appreciate you taking the time to do it.

DVDPcaV1.15 Available

Dowwnload here.

- Fixed: some changes don't stick when Edit Profile run from DVDPca
- UPC/EAN field is no longer cleared when the IFO scan is run. What you type in stays there.
- When DVDPca is first loaded, the UPC and Locality of the currently displayed DVD are loaded into the manual entry boxes. That means you can run Edit Profile immediately after a scan, and manually update any desired metadata gleaned from the scan. The scanned running time has been loaded into the Clipboard.
- To aid in making updates to a box set, the DVDPca "DVD Profiler" menu automatically changes "Edit Profile" to a dropdown menu that includes the Parent and all Child profiles in the box set. So it is possible to perform a cycle of: Scan Child disc, Edit Profile - Child, Scan another Child disc, Edit Profile - Child, etc.
This is possible because the parent profile ID remains in the manual entry fields across all the scans, in order to keep the dropdown working until you are done.

Note: to create a new profile, it is still necessary to manually type in the UPC and set the Locality of the desired new profile. An attempt to create an existing profile results in a warning message.
