| | Posted: | | | | Well, I didnt mean to start a s*it storm I was just asking an opinion.
I think multi scans online would be great.

Again this is very simple, we are trying to create an Acuurate database and to list 10 to Midnight would NOT be accurate, it really is that simple people. ...
I don't see the fuss, we are either accurate or we are NOT.
My vote always comes down on the side of accuracy. Four years later, you give yourself an answer to your question...  | | | | Images from movies | | | | Last edited: by surfeur51 |

Those who used Spot and believe it to be so good, I don't see what they saw, and further if it were soooo good, it would still be around, wouldn't it. That statement shows how incredibly ignorant you are of what happened, and why spot is no more. Quote:
If Profiler is soooo awful in your view... I just don't understand why you would use something that you believe "serves no purpose".

Let's weigh up what Spot had going for it more than profiler (online):
- Correct cast linking that could be merged, updated, split, AKA's added by editors with a click of the button.
- Allowed all covers that shared the same UPC easily.
- Allowed budget DVD's of different titles with the same UPC.
- Part contribution acceptance/declination.
- Staff that cared and replied and took part in the forum.
This amounts to a whole lot of great stuff.
What has Profiler got going for it online above Spot:
- Fantastic user-made reports/layouts.
Again, offline, Profiler is an amazing thing to use. The program is phenomenal but the online is ass. If DVD-Spot online was like Herpes to you, Profiler Online is like AIDS for me. I am sorry, but you are mixing apples and oranges here. From what I can tell, DVD-Spot was an on-line based program. As such, it had to have great on-line features. Profiler, on the other hand, is an off-line based program. As such, it has great off-line features. The main database, as mentioned in the rules, is standardized. It is not meant to be the 'be all, end all' for all users. It is meant to be a starting point...no more, no less. To me, comparing the two, is like comparing a fighter jet with a passenger jet and complaining that the fighter jet isn't as comfortable and doesn't serve meals.  | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

This is what I've been trying to say mate  That Profiler's online part could be improved upon with those things. Skip was saying Spot was crap (in his opion) and I was just pointing out how the online was superior and what Profiler could maybe do to make the all round program even better. In fact, I even stated more than once just how awesome and unbeatable the offline is  |

The Scanner/Printer/Copier combo I got at Walmart was only $40... and I have no complaints. Every one of my cover scans has been approved so far!
What's the model?
I need to get one, and it would be the perfect Christmas gift from my wife.
Cannon Pixma MP190
- Printer
- Scanner
- Copier
Got it at Walmart on sale for $40... think the regular price at the time (3 or 4 months ago) was $50. Thanks Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | While I wouldn't object to having all versions of cover scans available for download via the online database, I do know we need a consistent basis to start on. That being said I really wouldn't care much which cover was used, but the release cover is the easiest so completely understand why that's the one chosen. If any other version was chosen you would have a lot of people trying to dictate which was the right one, or at least a lot more than we do now since I'm sure that still happens from time to time. But like others have said, adding the ability to download different cover versions would hurt no one. It would only help those who want it. So why not? The only person it would effect is Ken, seeing as he would have that extra data to deal with in addition to the space it would require. On the little spat that is going on, DVDspot had an awesome online in my opinion but I attribute that mainly due to it's linking system and contribution system. If DVDprofiler had 2 things added (which are very possible in my opinion and would effect no one negatively), a better linking system and the ability to accept/decline parts on contributions, DVDprofiler's online portion would be a lot more useful. But as others have said, the offline program will never be beat, but for a casual user, they will never want to tweak with their offline to the amount necessary to make it "great" for them. This is why I believe trying to get the online more useful wouldn't be a bad thing. It would most certainly increase sales and as far as I'm concerned the only real disadvantage of this program. | | | | "The perfect is the enemy of the good." - Voltaire | | | | Last edited: by Vittra |
