newby with a few questions
 

hi everyone!

this site was a great find, its a dvd collectors dream! i have a few questions though :-)

1) after reading how good it was, i got dvd profiler but now i have two problems. a) i have a region 2 copy of 8 mile (im from the uk), the details has the wrong director on it, not curtis hanson but someone called brain gibson. i'm very new to dvd profiler and i have no idea how to put this straight. b) i dont have a credit card or any means of payment, being a unemployed student not old enough to work yet. does anyone have like a 'universal' key that can be used??

2) is it possible someone out there would be kind enough to submit pics of any of the following covers (inside and out) matrix ultimate collection and the buffy collection?!?! im interested in buying them, just need to get a nice good look ;-)

3) dvd profiler is 'alright' i was more impressed by dvdspot because it lets the user give a few more details about him/herself such as their favourtie directors etc AND the layout is better, the pics are better but that doesnt have a database with region 2 dvds. can someone point me to something like dvdspot that does store region 2 dvd details???

so... its great to be a part of this place now. superb! i'll be seeing you guys!

forgot one thing!
 

hi,

forgot a question.

4) the friday collection - region 1, is not on the dvd profiler database, but the seperate ones are. how can this be sorted?

thanks again!

Welcome,

One great site that everyone seems to use is dvdaficionado.com. You shouldnt have any troubles.

yah except you can only have 500 listing on one page now

the one you recommend is pretty nice, but still dvdspot is quite shabby! any ideas if they're gonna start a database with region 2 dvds??

also, anyone got answers to my questions ppppllllleeeeaaasssseeee

I don't have answers to your questions, but I love DVD Profiler, never had a problem with anything.

What I actually wanted to say, is that with this forum, you don't really need to sit in front of your computer and keep hitting refresh in the hopes that somebody will quickly answer you. Be patient, wait a couple of days, and then come back and search for your thread (search by username in the advanced search options). Then politely thank people for answering you.

Welcome to the site!

yeah i understand.... normal forum drill.... cool, thanks

You can edit the information in DVD Profiler and lock it so it doesn't get overwritten. No one is going to give you a code to register the software-sorry.

Check the online retailers such as Amazon for pics of the box sets. Here's a pic of the Matrix set with the bust that I think looks more like Lou Reed than Keanu Reeves:

thanks for those who replied.

does anyone know or can anyone tell me how to add 'the friday collection' region 1 into the dvd profiler database?!

thanks!

What Friday collection are you talking about? Friday The 13th From Crystal Lake To Manhattan, this one? its in the database.

lol, sorry, good point, im talking about the friday collection as in

"friday", "next friday" and "friday after next"

black comedy!

First off welcome to DVDtalk :wave:

Second, regarding this part of the request, we have very specific rules forbidding this sort of activity/request
http://www.dvdtalk.com/legal.html
Hopefully that won't dissuade you from hanging around though :)

whoops, sorry about that.

anyone gonna tell me how to get the friday collection on dvd profiler database, pppplllleeeeaaaaaaaassssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee??

You may want to consider passing your inquiries off in the tech section over at the DVDProfiler forums. They do have a forum similar to DVDTalk too ....

Simply create a profile for it. Start by entering the UPC code for the set just to be sure it isn't already in there, then edit the information such as the SRP (not what you paid, but the retail or list price-check an online retailer for this info), audio formats, etc.

Then DVD Profiler will ask you if you want to submit the information to the database. The first time you do this, they will give you some information and make you take a little quiz on it. Don't worry if you get some answers wrong-they will let you know and you can check the right ones. They just do this to make sure you know how to enter the information correctly-i.e.: nothing misspelled, the titles are entered properly, everything is in the right place.
