Hello sports fans:

Ever since I shelled out the bucks for this program, I've been wanting to make a "cheat sheet" report that you can use while watching the DVD.  I've been looking for something that will list, say, running time, features, cast and crew.  I was fighting with the reports feature, but I couldn't get it to do what I wanted.  (I got a post somewhere on here asking questions.)  I finally gave up and started to look at the XML file.

I exported an XML file for each movie and dug into XSL a little bit.  I came up with a crude report that does what I want using a combo of the XML movie file, XSL, and CSS.

The report lists the following info:  Title, Running Time, Audio Format, Subtitles, Video Format, Features, Cast (uncredited are marked with an asterik) and Crew. 

It pretty much gives me a nice little checklist to use while I'm watching a movie.  I don't know if anyone is interested ... there are a few instructions that go along with it, but I'd be happy to send what I have to anyone that is interested.  Note:  I am by no means a programmer ... merely a dabbler.

Well, I'm not a checklister(yet?) so I'm not sure if I'll use, but I'm sure going to have a look at it for fresh ideas.
Also if you want I can add it to my XSL-archive, see signature.

cya, Mithi

Mithi - I want to learn more about this but, when I went looked at "Milthi's little XSLT tinkering", the first thing I read was "For absolute beginners of HTML and programming this page might be unsuitable".  So where should an "absolute beginner" start? I want to be able to say "Me! Me! Me!" too.

Why not publish it on a web site? If you don't have one yet, Yahoo Geocities offers a free possibility for something like this.

Yeah ... I know ... I could do that ... let's see how some people like it first.

One more!

The easiest way to create the list you're looking for is to download the CSV plugin.  It does what you need with zero programming.  I was looking at the xml file and paused a bit to look at the plugin page and am glad i did.  the CSV exporter works perfectly to get the info to an excel spreadsheet.

I just went to the Plugin page and there is no CSV plugin. Can you send me the link. Thanks

It is the second topic in the Plugin Forum.
, really.
