Interesting, I'll have to check that out.

- To get bookmarks, you have to disable HW acceleration

Hmmm odd. I can save bookmarks fine with HW enabled. I just tried it. Although I personally never use the bookmark feature, well, other than the automatic bookwark it saves.

Any info on that MarEll?

Just checked, you can save a bookmark while watching a film (at the start of the film for example) then the next time you start playing that movie you have the option to jump straight to that bookmark.  I looked into it a while back, I wanted to know if you could store the book marks independently of the film so you could launch all you films from a central menu but I dont think this is possible.

Might start doing this with my tv series...

Hi All,

I have skim read this thread, as there where way too many opinions to wade though it full detail.

I would like to be able to store where my DVD is located.  I know there is a location field but it seems to be limited to 30 characters.  This does not give enough room for me it clearly identify where the disk is.  Is it possible to have this field extended (or some similar field added) that would support more, maybe say 512 characters?

I know I could use the notes field, but this is not really a note, it is the DVD's location.

thanks
Darro

If you find a good spot, let me know. My plugin, LoadDVD uses the Notes fileld. I have a request in for an extension of the Location field, but there has been no response from Ken on it.

Can I ask - why do you need so much space in the location field? I can't think of a situation where you'd need so much detail to locate a disc. I suppose you could gain a few extra characters by spreading out into the slot field, if you don't already.

I just wanted to thank the original poster of this topic for asking for a very legitimate feature.  Many of us that purchased our DVDs prefer to store them on hard drives and protect our original media.  The debate that ensued is rather comical but the bottom line is that people will use their media however they want.  It is not the responsibility of third party DVD cataloging companies to try and "legitimize" or "sponsor" this behavior but it IS their responsiobility to try and include features that their users WANT.  There have been many requests for this feature (simple media type = Hard Drive ) and it has not been implemented to date.  I am a paying customer of DVD Profiler (which I love- for the most part) and they have really dropped the ball on this one.  That is too bad. 
It is also too bad when the Skips of the world editorialize on areas that they obviously have very little knowledge about.  Anyway,  lets hope that a company progressive enough to create a computerized movie catalog program can understand that their users are capable of choosing their own media type.

This is not a "movie catalog program" this is a DVD profiling program. What is so hard to understand about that?

From the product description :

DVD Profiler can manage any size collection. Extensive data collection, filtering and reporting features specific to DVD, and unique to DVD Profiler.

This is not Movie profiler, VHS profiler, CD profiler, 8MM profiler or hard disc profiler 

Maybe I'm wrong, But an HD-DVD is not different than an ordinary DVD. They need obviously a different reader and they don't have the same stockage capacity, but it can be arguing that they are 2 format of Digital Video Disc. Maybe that's why Ken had taken the decision that they are a part of the profiling format in the software.
