Geez,

I can't believe how addicted I've become to DVD Profiler. I'm not sure I
don't buy movies just to feed the program. I've got two new purchases to
add and feel like a fish out of water. Hope its back soon!

I will have to second that, but I have 8 purchases. I wonder if I am
just feeding the program.

I'll have to third that. DVD profiler is the hub.. the informational
nexus of my DVD buying activities. I export the data in XML then Parse
it to CSV using an XML parser (Saxon if you're interested) and a XSL
Stylesheet file. This CSV I upload with Excel to MobileDB for PalmOS
(with me so far?) so I have a DB of all my 400+ movies with me when I
go shopping. Haven't bought a dupe once since I started doing this.

If the worst comes to the worst and IVS / DVD profiler was not to
return, Some bright spark would have to write some sort of Peer to
Peer Database system. DVD Profiler is Written in Borland Delphi and
uses DBIsam as it's background database. I've managed to write a
little program to decrypt the raw data and export to various formats..
I'ts beyond my ken, but I'm sure it would be possible to share our
local databases globally if the company folded .. Like Kazaa but
without all the porn!

Not ruling out IVS from a comeback yet though, think they're doing a
grand job with a great product. But should the worst coem to the worst
there would still be a usable path available to all the DVD profiler
users.

Why not just export directly to CSV?

Did anybody have any incling that this site was going down for
'maintenance'? Did any of the web masters mention anything about it?

They had some hardware issues I hear.

Of course, the "page" they have up now promotes itself as file-type ""
so Mozilla won't show it as HTML.

Broken IE will though.
