IN the older versions of DVD Profiler, cover images were stored as .jpg files in the \images directory as well as thumbs in the \images\thumbnails directory.  I pointed to these directories for a VB app I had written.  The current version 3.1.1 now appears to store these in a database. Is there a way to extract/export these out to a set of jpg files like the older versions

They are not stored in a database file. You will find the images in Documents and Settings/User (your username)/My Documents/DVD Profiler/Databases/Default/Images.

The bold text is the name of your collection (just in case you have more than one).

Another option would be to paste this into the location bar for Windows Explorer: %userprofile%\My Documents\DVD Profiler\Databases\Default\Images

Along those lines, how does one determine what the filename is of a particular image?

its simply the UPC (or disc ID, disc ID's are preceded with an F) followed by b for back image and f for front. i think it may include a .localitynumber but not sure if thats before or after the f/b.

It is a 12 digit ID followed by f or b  .jpg

I did find the images but I am not impressed with where they are stored -- I keep all my apps on the D: drive so that if the OS screws up I can nuke and re-install the OS on the C; drive without losing data

The filename of the cover is the EAN or DiscId, than after a dot the country code, than the side: f for front, b for back.
If it's a an US-DVD, the dot and the country code are omitted.

Example:

4011846004493.5f.jpg - A German DVD,

717951002372f.jpg An US-DVD,

I5D100E9C5DEC406D.5f.jpg - A German DVD with DiscID

Then just put the database on the D drive. I use the E drive for mine.
