| Posted: | | | | I own an unusual program called DMX-3000 written solely for use in a URC MX-3000 remote control. Unfortunately DMX-3000 is no longer supported and it does not work with any DVD Profiler version after Version 3.6.
I paid for and own a DVD Profiler license key.
I have changed computers and would like to download DVD Profiler Version 3.6.
I do have the "collection" and "backup file". installed on the new computer.
Thanks, |

That might be possible by downloading it via the Wayback Machine It appears the download links only provide 3.5 or 3.7 even if the page says 3.6.1. I may have a copy of 3.6 on my other machine, and will need to look, since I've kept copies of older versions. |

Thanks, What version of DMX-3000 do you own; 2.1, 2.2, 2.3? It looks like 2.2 supported DVD Profiler 3.7 and 2.3 supported 3.8. |

It may be easier to write an XSLT to convert back to the output of v3.6 than use the old program. I think Mithi has a very good point. I too was wondering how it works with Profiler, and XML seemed to be the most logical answer. If so, it should be possible to transform to exported XML file into something that works with DMX-3000. | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users. Gunnar |

Yes, it uses the XML file. https://web.archive.org/web/20130101032311/http://www.triplebsoftware.com/home.shtml |

| Posted: | | | | It's a bit surprising that they had to modify the program for each new release of Profiler. If done correctly, a program shouldn't depend on the exact structure of the XML file, as long as the data that it does use is in the right place. And I'm pretty sure that Profiler's export files are backwards compatible.
So, this would seem to require a two step solution; 1) Establish the exact structure of the 3.6 export file. 2) Find some kind soul who is good at XSLT to help out.
Unfortunately I'm rubbish at XSLT, otherwise I would have volunteered. If nobody steps up to the plate I could probably write a small program that does the transformation, but that's a bit bigger task.
Whoever creates the transformation task could probably get help from Marty in order to produce a proper 3.6 export file for reference.
Any takers? | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users. Gunnar |

E.g. phpDVDProfiler doesn't like the new 3D-Audio-formats coz it tries to assign the matching symbols. Quote: 1) Establish the exact structure of the 3.6 export file. I still have a 3.6 XML example lying around, that shouldn't be a problem. In the end it will be a process to find out what breaks the camels back.

Not sure about the good soul, but I would be willing to try anyways. | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki | | | Last edited: by Mithi |
