You could use CSV Export. CSV = Comma Separated Values, it's basically a text file.

There is the already mentioned CSV Export, or you could go for broke and use a XSLT on the XML-Export (see signature)
I don't know how a *.prc should/could/would look, but maybe even that is possible with XSLT.

There is a free Mobipocket Creator, now the question is just how much time does one want to spent on creating lists 
A 700 page (on per DVD, with cover) on my good old Palm IIIx, would be a joy for him I think.

Because 700 covers would fit in your 4 MB RAM

But hey, GPSy was asking for a txt file, so I think he would go with a title list. The Mobipocket Software imports pdf files, so you could create a simple list report with one title each line (important!) and "print" it to a pdf and import it back into Mobipocket. The resulting file is very small (my 500 profiles were about 17 kB).

What do you think a CSV file is? It is a txt file, nothing more, nothing less.

And there's no need to use gigantic fonts, we're not in Kindergarten here.

Or you could use plugin DVDProfileLoop and create anything you want: text, html, whatever. It comes with samples to create html lists for Smartphones. Caveat: has not yet been upgraded to support new 3.5 fields and values.

See here.

Give me a sample of specifically what you want the text output to look like, and I will tell you whether my plugin can do it, or provide some hints on the required script.
Thanks for your support.
Free Plugins available here.
Advanced plugins available here.
Hey, new product!!! BDPFrog.

Another alternative:

1) Download the free Mobipocket Creator Publisher Edition from here:
http://www.mobipocket.com/dev/article.asp?BaseFolder=prcgen&File=building.htm
Make sure you also select the publisher edition when installing - the home edition will not work.

2) Create an XML export from DVD Profiler (you can automate this using my Instant Export plugin if you don't want to do this every time you need to update your device)

3) Create a simple XSLT file with Notepad or whatever you use to edit text files (give it whatever name you want but use the extension .xsl) with the following content:
<xsl:transform version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <html>
      <body>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="/Collection/DVD">
          <xsl:sort select="SortTitle"/>
        </xsl:apply-templates>
      </body>
    </html>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="/Collection/DVD">
    <xsl:value-of select="Title"/>
    <br/>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>

4) Start Mobipocket Creator and create a new empty project

5) Add your collection.xml file. Select properties for this file and select the XSLT stylesheet you created in step 3.

6) You might need to fill in an output file. I used "Collection.html" but I do not know if it is needed

7) Press Build on the toolbar. A .prc file will be generated in the folder you created your Mobipocket project in. You can most likely ignore the warning - when I tried it was due to a missing cover.

When updating the list:
1) Copy your updated Collection.xml in on top of the file in your Mobipocket project folder.

2) Start Mobipocket Creator and select your project

3) Press Build on the toolbar.

The XSLT I have included here is extremely limited - it will just create a list of titles. It would of course be possible to extend it to provide full movie details and include cover images, but that is more than I have time for now.
Regards
Lars

But the display the won is more than modest.
Only the display of the title is too little, unfortunately.
Needed/Minimum:
  • Title

  • #

  • Quick Review

  • Running Time


  • But manymany thank you for your effort
