Question about Dvd Profiler
 
Just registered this after using the basic version for a while. I updated the pics of the dvd covers, but when I go to view them they still look "fuzzy" and alot of the text is still illegible. How high-quality should the high-quality pics really be?

Anyway to list my collection in abc order?

tools > options > display tab > choose High Quality and make sure there's a checkmark in High Quality Resize.

Click on the column headers in the list to sort.

(Click on the work 'Title' for abc)

i did this and they're still not crystal clear. are they supposed to be a bit blurry or should it be just like looking at the actual cover?

Most of mine look pretty clear (I wouldn't say 'crystal' clear, though).

Have you tried,

"Tools > Refresh Images" after you have checked the High Quality box?

Can you read the back of the box in your pics? I've tried to refresh the pics numerous times and check of the boxes, but i still cant read the back of the box, etc...

Most of the pics are 200 x 278 or so and when they get stretched they get all out of focus :(

delete all your picture files and redownload them if the above suggestions are not working. It should and does for most people refresh with hi-res picts once you register and you've made the needed changes in the properties saying you want hi-res shots.

When i first registered, it asked me if I wanted to set the program to use high quality images and redownload. I chose yes for both and it re-downloaded the images. However, it didn't re-download the high quality images, it re-downloaded the same low quality images I had before. I then did a manual "Online > Refresh All Images" and then it began to download all the high quality images which ranged around 100-150K in filesize.

I just fire up my DVD Profiler and compare my Braveheart and Princess Bride against the pictures posted here. Mine are in much higher resolution. The height of those pictures in my DVD profiler is around 700 pixels high and 500 pixels wide. If your image is around 200-300 pixels, then you have the low resolution version.

Taken directly from the program, my braveheart image and princess bride image look like this.

This is what I had to do. Best way to make sure you get the hi res files.

All lot of us using DVDProfiler do not use the scans from the program, we scan our own. I choose to scan mune at 300DPI, which unfortunately results in huge images, 10MB EACH, but the end result is far nicer than anything I have seen. I get much better depth of color and of couse I color correct and contrast correct all my images.

how can I unlock all cover images at once? I just converted to premium membership and redownloaded the coverscans but mainly those with locks didn't update.

flagg all dvds, then go to collection, then flagged then edit locks, uncheck images and that will unlock all images.
