| Posted: | | | | I have switched off several of my titles Media Banner. The profile is then marked as changed. I contribute the change, but someone voted it down because they say it is only a local option. Why then is the profile marked as changed if it is not supposed to be contributed? |

| Posted: | | | | What exactly did you contribute? Because AFAIK the media banner wouldn't even show up on the contribution screen. | | | Karsten DVD Collectors Online

| Posted: | | | | If I update the profile after I turn off the media banner the profile change status goes away, and the media banner is still off.
Should be a much easier way to turn off the Media Banner. |

| Posted: | | | | The Media Banner switch is within "Edit Profile", and triggers "Changes made", which it shouldn't.
The Media Banner switch should be within Options, or Personalize. And the Media Banner switch definitely should not recompress existing images. (*)

| Posted: | | | | Invelos sets the covers to "automatic" which does indeed compress the images.
If you want to manually change an individual profile you need to Edit that DVD.
There are several ways to do so: - Double click on the title - On the top of profiler, click on DVD > Edit - Click on the 4th icon from the left (top of the page directly under File Collection DVD etc.)
After you get to the Edit page, click on Cover Scans. Media banner is near the top. Click on the option you prefer. Off is the option you want if you don't want your images compressed.
Once you are done, the program does read this as a change.
You need to refresh BOTH the Profile and Images afterward. If you don't - the Contribute icon remains highlighted.
A warning pops up that you have changed the profile. Hit Yes - the change you made to the Media Banner will remain in effect even though you are refreshing the profile and images. | | | Last edited: by Kathy |

I never noticed that line before, probably because I change the cover image using ctrl_C and ctrl_V between Photoshop and DVDP. Also, I set Banners to None in the Tools section. |

I'd give you 6 or 7 greens today if I could! How to fix this issue has been bugging me for a long time. Thank you! | | | My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT. FACT: Imdb is WRONG 70% of the time! Misspelled cast, incomplete cast, wrong cast/crew roles. So for those who want DVD Profiler to be "as perfect as Imdb", good luck with that. Stop adding UNIT crew! They're invalid credits. Stop it! |

| Posted: | | | | Quoting greyghost: Quote: Try setting the compression ratio in the edit cover images dialog to 100% (File then Adjust Compression). You will still end up with a re-compressed file Yes, you will. The point of the matter is: the media banner is not even part of the image, there is no need at all to unaskedly and secretly recompress your personal cover images. Quote: Restoring the cover image from a backup (or updating from the online) will leave the banner change in effect and give you back the original image. The only safe way is to restore a backup. The online database will not have your local high resolution scans. | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played. [Ken Cole, DVD Profiler Architect] |
