You need to download version 3.0.2, Build 1124

Yeah that version is still not launching from the site for me...keeps hourglassing.

Thanks, DouglasRobert, I went to the homepage and it said "download 3.0" which I already had, so I didn't realize there was a more recent version. Thanks again.

Altimus -

I'm with you. I don't see how they could go from a two-tiered, basic/deluxe, free/fee model to an all-out pay or nothing scenario.

A lot of 2.4 users (like me) were quite happy with the functionality of the basic package. Now, Intervocative has been bought-out and 2.4 will no longer be supported, so if you want to continue using that basic level of functionality, you have to pay for the deluxe 3.0 version.

"Psssst....First hit's free, man!"

Free, not free, it's all the same to me, but for those who are complaining, you guys have had one heck of a trial period to decide if you're finally going to buy. Seems a little spoiled to be complaining about it after all this time. Frankly, I'm stunned the free ride lasted as long as it did. What's it been, 4 or 5 years now? Personally I like the program and it suits my needs, but there are other options out there if 30 bucks is gonna break the bank.

To quote Khan, "I like a brave man." ;)

I wonder how many people here use, say, Firefox. Wonder what they would think if they decided to start charging for it, and make using any older free version impossible.

I've been using it since 2000.

How do they do it, with a free program???

:horse:

Yeah, and post after post of people enthusiastically talking about how they ponied up their $30 isn't beating a dead horse? :rolleyes:

If it's a piece of software that I use almost daily (like DVDProfiler and Firefox), I would have no qualms ponying up the money to show my support to the developers and my interest in continuing to better the product.

While there are similar products to Firefox out there (the newer IE, for example), there's really nothing that I know of that has the same features of DVDProfiler.

I give it a big thumbs down. Just remember people that EVERY function is unavailable once you upgrade to 3.0 or higher. I see there are plenty of people speaking up on how they ponied up their $30 without pause, I just thought I'd give my 2 cents too.

Huh?

Ok, not every function but everyone that really matters besides being able to sort your collection which is absolutely worthless. Sorting is not a feature nor function beyond what should already be there. I cannot do anything with this new program. It is worthless. I cannot even evaluate it as it appears to be VERY different than the previous version. I do not like it. The user interface is horrid when trying to organize the seperate windows. You cannot save a layout nor revert back to a previous one. I spent way to long trying, and I mean, trying to get the windows to lay in a somewhat reasonable layout. It was soooooo frustrating that I do not want to bother any further.

Whatever, that's my 2 cents, like em or hate em. Im moving on. You can all decide for youself. Good luck.

Sorry, but what is the procedure to see the titles in my collection that have UPC errors? When I first uploaded from my backup it popped up a message saying that I had something like 29 unresolved UPC errors. How do I pull up a list of those 29?

Select the COLLECTION dropdown menu then FLAGS --> LOAD SET. This should open a folder with a file called "UnconvertedUPC'S.LST" - double click this and all the faulty UPC error entries should now be flagged

I had 77 UPC errors flagged. How do we fix them?

To fix the UPC errors click on Collection --Flagged -- Load Set. You will get your flagged --incorrect UPC titles. You will need to replace the UPC with the 12 number, or 13 number if non region 1 discs. Do this the same way as before. Highlight the title , go to DVD -- change UPC.

Hope this helps

It seems I also had a few disc ID errors as well as UPC errors. If you have any of those, you'll need to load the DVD in you DVD drive (if you have one) to get the correct disc ID assigned. If you don't have a DVD-ROM to load the discs into, you're probably best off just trying to find the correct profile in the database and deleting the bad one (after you verify that the correct one exists of course).

Okay, I did that but there's no "unconvertedUPC's.lst" file. Does that mean the 29 errors were all corrected?

The "UnconvertedUPC.lst" file is created when you first import the collection from the old version Profiler to the newer version.

I don't recall if the program creates this list file automatically or if you have to save it manually - someone else might know

Mine was created automatically.

version 3.0.3 is out and for me it is much better when typing in names when you don't have a UPC yet. it used to be etremely slow and now its much much faster.

It does. Thank you!

Here's what I don't get. If running the update (Refresh Updated Profiles) is what corrected the 29 uncoverted UPC errors, then how come it didn't fix them when I originally restored from my backup file? I ran the update maybe 5 minutes after I installed 3.0 and loaded my backup, so it's not like all 29 were submitted to the database in that 5 minute span. And if just installing 3.0 and loading the backup doesn't fix any of the UPC errors, then why weren't all 714 of my DVD's flagged? I don't get it.

Unfortunately I don't know what any of those 29 titles were, so I can't check and see if they are actually corrected now. I don't feel like checking all 714 UPC's one by one, so is there a quick way to check if anything's still incorrect?

See post #101. DVD Profiler 3.0 uses the 12-digit UPC's instead of the 10-digit UPCs. Set the flag that Randy810 pointed out and it will flag the DVD's where you have to update the UPC's for. Then go in and update them to the 12-digit version.

You can always uninstall the program and repeat the process, checking before you update profiles this time.
