For no reason at all I kicked my XP Friday evening and installed Windows 7 Ultimate (“Never change a running system” my ass ).

Once upon a time I installed Vista, but the UOPs were annoying and my XAMPP didn’t run properly and I didn’t like it at all. So I switched back to XP.

Friday I downloaded the RTM (Release to Manufacturers) from MSDN and installed the 64bit Ultimate edition.

And I have to say, it looks and feels really good. OK, some things need getting used to. But overall it feels like a modern OS and all my programs (DVD Profiler, Visual Studio 2008, TortoiseSVN, XAMPP, Firefox, Thunderbird, … -> x64 when available) are running just fine.

Now, after I’ve finished Crew Edit 2 which rips the crew data from IMDb and makes them available to DVD Profiler, I’ve decided to combine it with the well established program Cast Edit 2.

And here it is: Cast/Crew Edit 2 and Cast/Crew Edit 2 For TV Shows.

Here’s version 0.3.1.0 of Crew Edit 2:

http://doena-soft.de/dvdprofiler/3.5.1/CrewEdit2.zip

It helps you to rip IMDb crew data and insert it into DVD Profiler.

What needs to be done now is to transform/map IMDb crew roles into the ones from DVD Profiler.

For example: Fanboys.

The credit there is “Writing credits” -> “screenplay” which has to be mapped to “Writing” -> “Screenwriter”

For this you use the “EditIMDbToDVDProfilerCrewRoleTransformation.exe”.

PS: And remember: IMDb data must not (!) be contributed to the Online Database.

Since I’ve begun to use the watched feature of DVD Profiler (you can see the results here) I added season discs to my database the moment after I watched it. But I never bothered to enter a runtime.

But with the cover scanning and so on it became tiresome to do it when I wanted to watch the next disc. Thus I decided to get it done and profile all my season discs and while I was at it I entered the runtimes as well.

It took me 11 days, but now it’s done, I am through. 1107 season disc profiles in 195 season profiles are created with a total runtime of 115 days, 8 hours and 57 minutes.

Now I can enjoy watching DVDs without bothering to enter them first.
