3.6 my "Cue:Cat Bar Code Scanner" worked.
Installed tne new Version: 3.7.0 (Build 1426)

"Cue:Cat Bar Code Scanner" does not read the bar codes correctly?
Is there some filter/add-on I need to install for 3.7?

Running:
Windows Vista Home 32bit w/all current updates.

I just checked DVDP 3.7 1426 with my Cue:Cat and it worked just fine.
I'm using Windows VISTA Home Basic 32 Bit with all updates.

Update..
It will work if I am only adding one new disc.. but if I try adding a second or more the data from the Cue:Cat is not read correctly.. If I shut down DVDP3.7 and restart it will read once.. ??

All I know that that the version of 3.6 I have still installed the Cue:Cat works (single or multi disc input) and the 3.7 will only allow for a single disc input... its almost as if the area of memory that converts the bar code read is not being cleared before/when a second disc is scanned??

Example:
Cue:Cat is sending the following string per a note pad capture:
.c3Nzc3Nzc3N2cHB7cHN0dXNy.FhMC.c3J3cHtydXV3enZ6.
DVDP3.7 is converting this string to: 381664 : dropping the first three and last three numbers or is not converting at all?
The UPC reads:
014381664959 (For movie "Shadow Of The Moon" on Blu-Ray)

:S:: My USB Cue:Cat has not been "Neuter" as it was never needed in the past.

In trying to "Neuter" my Cue:Cat so it would would work with DVDP3.7.... As this seems to of been the trouble due to encryption on the device...

I ""Fried"" my USB Cue:Cat trying to pry pin#5 and also broke pin#6 in the process..

So does anybody here have an extra Cue:Cat...

As many years ago I gave fellow DVDP users (I even paid the shipping)  several that I had picked up from my local ''Radio Shack'' stores when they were giving them away...

I'm sorry to hear that you killed your Cat .

My laptop runs Vista Home Premium 64 bit and I just tested Add Multiple in DVD Profiler 3.7 and was able to add 10 titles in a row without a problem.

I wish I had an extra Cat to send you. I know how rare they are these days.

You might try getting another from www.cuecats.com . They're not affiliated with the now defunct Digital:Convergence Corporation. They sell for $8.99 via PayPal. I'd contact them first though to see if they're still in business.

Good luck.

I have an original PS2 CueCat, that I just blew the dust off of.  Do you know how to modify it so that it doesn't do the original crap it was designed to do?

EDIT: I found the declaw instructions on the net.  Cut the pin with side cutters.

I then neutered the cat by putting +5 to the R29 VIA.  When I stick the cat against a DVD and swipe the UPC, I get crap.  I don't get a long list of garbage, but some text.  I'm testing it via my Unix computer, using an Xterm window.  As I understand it, the output is supposed to be text.  Well, it kinda is, but garbage.

When I tried it with DVDP (the keyboard is attached to 4 computers via a KVM), adding a new DVD brought up a page of a bunch of things to add.  Obviously wrong.

I guess my cat is sick.
