Probably not very long depending on what type of folders you use. They said try not to have more than a couple hundred titles per folder so you might want to do yours by letter like RobCA to make it faster. You could do it by genre but I think that would take you forever since you would have to debate what goes where. Anyway, up to you.

Edit: Better yet, maybe by studio unless you have over 200 titles by one studio. That would be pretty neat.

I've paypal'd them about 20 or 30 bucks over the last year or so.

as far as folder options...I know they want 200 titles max in each one. that may or may not work for me with all of them. if I have 250 sci-fi features....then so will my folder, sorry.

I have a folder for each letter of the alphabet for my owned titles and a folder for each month for wish list items.

As far as a donation, it will probably have to wait until after Christmas.

I have been sorting my titles by studio and somehow an entire folder was lost. if I search for a title in that list it shows that I have it but the folder is missing. how can I get to this folder if it isn't there in my list of folders?

I did about 1500 in about forty minutes, using A-Z folders. Unfortunately, you have to click on every single title to select and move, unless there is some shortcut that I missed.

Try going to "all owned" and searching for the studio. I did the same thing when I was fiddling around and I think that is how I found the missing folder.

The only two ways I know is one at a time or all at once by clicking the top box next to picture.

"thats a crock. I had WAY more problems with Profiler....and PAID for it up front. DVDAF hardly EVER has a problem. now tons of people are using it and they expect it all to be 100% perfect...for free. thats a joke. I have over 1,300 titles...and my list STILL loads in less than 45sec...big deal."

You get what you bpay for. You have nothing but an online list with DVDAF. DVD Profiler is a real database. It is on my computer and can be accessed offline. If DVDAF goes out of business so does your list. My DVD Profiler is a real piece of software I own and can use without support from the company. There is no contest between the two.

thats cool man...I'm happy Profiler works for you. I'll dump dvdaf when they dont work for me. that has yet to happen in 2 years. I didnt recieve good, personal service at pro....so I flushed them down...no big deal. as far as my list...thats just an on-line way for others to see my taste in films/dvds...nothing more. if it dies one day....no loss. my real list is right here at home...where it should be, along with every receipt, insurance photo and the like.
