In reading your post and the word .doc .. I wanted to share something That I have been working on now for well over two months..( three years all together) . My entire collection of Home videos shot on Beta and VHS from 1981 to 2003 ( 8 mm camcorder) .. The entire collection (40 plus video tapes ) each running from 2 to 4 hours apiece - I had sitting in a giant cardboard box , in the garage. Still protected from heat and dust I felt extremely guilty that I was letting my family down from the great memories we all had growing up together and raising our kids thru birth/ birthday parties/ learning to ride that bike etc etc .. and not enjoying them in later years.. was disappointing .. becasue who uses VHS machines these days?? So I had the entire collection categorized from its 'measly' front video label and transferred it all to DVD using those inexpensive machines that record the video and audio signals (analog) into real time within these 4.7 GB blank DVD-R/+R discs.. Now using a word program (.doc) I systematically categorized each of these discs by a collection number./ Title then how many sub titles or chapters plus running time/ years-dates and description of each chapter down in my word doc. I did all this back in 2007.. BUT when 3.6 was released it had this fantastic area employed within that used a 'blocking' mechanism called 'Exclusion Set' ( thanks Ken! ) that would prohibit this/these titles from entering my 'main stream' of regular theatrical hollywood movies (on line) that we all own. So by blocking these titles I wouldn't have to worry about 'others' reading these descriptions of what my family did on our summer vacation. I edit the entire word document to perfection including Bold and underline and then copy and paste this over to Profiler under Overview for each disc and that disc is ID coded using my DVd rom player. I makeup a nice jpg for front and rear of the 'said dvd' and using that jpg I can narrow in faster in finding that DVD and with the notes as extensive as I have them find that clip or chapter very quickly using DVD profiler.. So by using Profiler's search area I can (i.e.) easily find "Uncle Charlies 1958 Corvette" for instance and get to that disc pretty quick.. So bottom line Shaner.,, It's all fine and dandy to keep your 'home movies in word doc , ,But try and use Profiler to its advantages and you'll never loose your library and its notes by backing up properly using the .dbp extension rather than depending on the.doc extension and 'swing those notes' over to profiler you alone can cut and paste into Overview ( which is of course Text) ..  |
