Hang in there, Pete, now just over 3 weeks to go!

Thank you to those who have provided supportive comments.

When I read the OP, I was drawn to the part I have bolded:

I think I know the answer to this, but I wanted to be sure: does the "Developed for Television by" credit fall under anything for writing? I'm working on Smallville and was just wondering. I believe the answer would be no, but just in case I missed a discussion or something along these lines.

As The Martian pointed out, I too believe that knowledge is never a bad thing. Since the Writers Guild is the entity which determines writing credits for US films, to understand their guidelines is to understand their credits. Their guidelines detail that "Developed by" is not the equivalent of "Created by" and I felt no need to say that's what the guidelines say. Everyone has the ability to read that for themselves.

Darnit! I have run out of green arrows for the last 4 posts here

Agreed.

Predictable. Kulju, you should change your screen name to...Big Brother. or maybe Little Brother

The Whoopee Boys - B. Tennison Sebastian II

1) Do you place your DVDs into cases with the label rotated straight? Nope, unless the artwork matches the box, then I will (Simpsons)

2) Do you keep the "toys" from special-release DVDs? Yup, why throw/give them away?

3) Do you lend out your DVDs to family? Not really.

4) ... What about to friends? I have one friend I trust enough to do this with, that's it.

5) ... What about to friends of friends? Um, that would be a negative.

6) Do you rent out your DVDs? Nope.

7) Do you more often give, sell, or keep unwanted DVDs? Hmm, don't have many of these, but I've given a couple away...great gifts!

8) Do you always store your DVDs in their original cases? Yes.

9) Do you have a theater room in your home? No, but eventually I will!

10) Do you own a popcorn machine and/or soda dispenser? Nope.  Not a popcorn fan.

11) Do you or a friend invite others over for "Movie Night?" I have, but not regularly.

12) Do you ever set DVDs as background noise not for focusing on them? Yup, do this all the time with ones I've watched before. Rather than the tv on, I put on a movie.

13) Have you ever printed out custom artwork for your case cover(s)? No.

14) Have you ever put off buying a needed item so you could buy a DVD? No.

15) Have you ever returned the wrong DVD to a rental or store? Nope. I'm paranoid about this (though I only rent through the library) and always double check before returning.

16) Have you ever returned an empty case? Nope.

17) Have you ever forgotten to return a DVD for an extended length? No.

18) Have you ever had a DVD stolen from you? No

19) Have you ever accused someone of stealing a DVD from you? No

22) Have you ever given a bundle of DVDs away as a gift? Yes.

23) Have you ever received a bundle of DVDs as a gift? Yes.

24) Have you ever found a DVD in your collection unsure how it got there? No.

25) Have you ever been cheated on a DVD purchase (eg: badly scratched, bootleg)? Once...it was a gift for xmas for a family member and the "new" dvd turned out to scratched, opened and otherwise marked up. Returned it quite quickly and easily.

26) Have you ever received a DVD as a gift and returned it ASAP? I've had to do a replacement as the disc came scratched, but not a straight return.

27) Have you ever double-dipped solely for new special features? Yes.

28) Have you ever watched two DVDs/movies at the same time? No.

29) Have you ever given away a movie ending just to make someone mad? No.

30) Have you ever turned subtitles on because you could not understand the words? Yes. I don't buy dvds for subtitles, but they have come in handy when someone mumbles and I prefer them on foreign language films rather than dubs.

31) Have you ever used subtitles to try and learn another language? No.

32) Have you ever used a DVD for something other than playing it? Nope.

33) Have you ever forgotten about something important because of watching a movie? No.

34) Have you ever gotten rid of a DVD only for not liking the special features/artwork? No.

35) What are your favorite movies in your collection? Dirty Dancing, Princess Bride, Hairspray (original), The Wizard of Oz...I could go on for quite a while, so I'll quit right here.

36) What are your least favorites? Fever Lake. One reason and one reason only that I have this: My college is featured in the first 10 minutes and it's fun to watch because of that. I've never gotten past the first 30 minutes because of how awful this movie is.

37) What is the most you ever paid for a DVD? $84.39

38) What is the year in which you spent the most on DVDs? 2009 (as a side bit, this year is looking to be the least I've ever spent...)

41) What is the oldest DVD-movie in your collection by production year? 1891 (Edison: Invention of the Movies set)

42) What is/are your favorite movie line(s)/speech(es)? "This is not a tragedy. Tragedy is three men trapped in a mine, police dogs used in Birmingham. Monks burning themselves in protest."

43) How many DVDs are in your collection? 834, but I count box sets as one, not one per movie.

44) How many unwatched DVDs are in your collection? According to profiler, 543, but this is inflated because of child profiles and I didn't start using the watched as part right away.

45) How many double-dips do you have in your collection (2 copies is one double dip; 3 copies is 2)? 11, but 3 are from box sets, where I bought the movie as a stand alone, then I ended up with another copy b/c it was in with another movie I wanted and it was cheaper to buy both than getting it singly.

Is there a chance we could help beta test the software?
Considering the fact that Apple controls the App store  in a dictatorship-like manner I doubt it but it doesn't hurt to ask. ;-)

Thanks

I don't believe there is such a thing as beta test for Iphone/touch apps. It gets released - full stop.

Not true. Apple has provided ways other than a mass release on iTunes for developers to test apps before they are released. There is a thing called a provisioning profile that you put in the users iTunes library and then you download the app via traditional means drop the app into iTunes and then sync with the iDevice. So yes you can beta test apps to a small or medium size group of users.

You can also have a "Private App". Say a company wants an iPhone app for their employees but obviously you don't want the world to have it. This is done the same way.

So that being said....Ken can I please be a beta tester? I seem to be one of the few people out here who is patient and not throwing you under the bus.  I am truly shocked at some of the comments that are in this thread. Obviously many of you have not been around DVD Profiler very long and don't understand the timetables that Ken works on.
If you did you would know that he is gonna release it on Monday 

My bad. I definitely thought it was a better subject line than "looking for"

My conclusion at the end, it would be better to buy a bar code reader, the same as used in small supermarkets, and is actually really cheap!

Well, great work! You have helped me to improve my knowledge about this field. Thank you so much for sharing.

Edit: Ken, please consider pinning this topic so that it might be readily accessible. Thank you.

Another pinned topic?

Run for your lives! They are taking over!

Another documentation thread which does not really fit in a forum and would better live in a wiki IMO.

Agreed. Doesn't someone have a DVDP Wiki?

And then there are films which are a mixture between pan & scan and open matte. For example in the 4:3 version of "Total Recall" most scenes are open matte while the special effect scenes are pan & scan because those have not been rendered full frame.

I suddenly feel the urge to watch some episodes of Charmed.

Thank you

It's 3 x 24'' monitors, giving me 5760 x 1080 resolution. More than enough to view every window in DVDprofiler.

The shelves are made out of cheap sandstone and mdf plates.. Cheap, and easy to expand

Actually, I don't think Art can catch up with Arthur now - even if all pending titles go to Art, it's still only be 20 credits to 24, so Arthur would still win.

Indeed. We already reached that point exactly two months ago (post from July 5). Still, no harm in confirming those last few credits.

I just tried this: I associated ".wmv" with Windows Media Center, and double-clicked on one of the files in the window created by my previous post. Guess what: MCE pops up and plays the file. What you have been asking for in all those posts, and for all thiose years, has been there all along. How about that ... 

SPOILER!

DJ Doena's inspired me to show my home theater plant as well:

img src="http://i49.tinypic.com/105qeew.jpg" /

img src="http://i48.tinypic.com/so7k0l.jpg" /

It's an Efeutute (Epipremnum aureum), of the tribe Monstereae.

Funny:

After the deletion of the image tinypic.com has newly assigned the then free url.

I wasn't aware that this could happen and aplogize for the sinful picture, Sirs.

Can this be made undone?

Since you made this post only today, can't you still edit it, and just remove the link?

The post with the pic was made in December of '09.

no one with these titles?

I watched it so you don't have to. Hope it's cool to post a link.

Nice typo in the url. Made me lough. 

Just noticed that myself. Sinker, stinker, they all work in describing the movie.

Just joined the thread, hope it works this time.
Pretty sure I tried it a year or 2 back, and many liked the idea and were in, but nothing came of it.

I'm more in favor for solutions which give the user less work and not more work..

I'm also for the least work possible, as long as it gives correct results. Less work to obtain wrong results, it would be better to do nothing.... Unfortunately, as in real life, lazyness rarely gives good results...
