| | Posted: | | | | hello!
One of my friend who have the older version of dvd profiler sent me his list in .xml format... but i cannot read it!! is there a way to import it in a blankl version of dvd profiler 3 (or better, version 3) or any software or way to read the .xml page?? (or a plugin, or something...)
(or the .xml back is totally a useless function?)

| | Posted: | | | | No, you cannot import *.xml files into profiler. You can view xml-files with your internet browser or with an office application like ms excel. It's only possible to import the *.dpb backup files into the profiler! This is the format your friend should give you. The *xml files are useful for external applications outside profiler. Some profis here can give you more informations...  | | | | Thorsten | | | | Last edited: by kahless |

| | Posted: | | | | 1) No, you can't import the XML. It might be possible to convert to UPC's and import those though a plugin or something, but it's not easy.
2) I do not know what you mean with "XML back". If you mean "XML backup", it is not as much "useless" as simply non-existing - there is no XML backup feature in DVD Profiler. If you refer to "XML Export" then it is a hightly useful feature in a number of usecases - but importing the collection again simply isn't one of these usecases. | | | Regards

| | Posted: | | | | It's long winded.
You need a copy of 2.4/5 installed. You need the UPCs tool that can be found on DVD Dougs website.
This can then use the UPCs in the XML data to reimport the collection to 2.4/5. Then backup in 2.4 and restore the backup in 3.
Guess it depends on what you're trying to do to decide if it's worth the hassle. | | | | IVS Registered: January 2, 2002 |

i only want to see the content.. Mabe It's another format or so? Sorry I'm not an expert in this, but nevertheless, I think this *.xml file won't help you anyway! So if your friend has profiler 2.xxx he should make a complete backup of the data. the filename of this ends with *.dpb. This one can be restored within profiler 3.xx! | | | | Thorsten |

thanks also to the others fore all the fast replies and help! Glad Tom's tool gave you what you needed. Not that it really matters, but here's the blurb about UPCs Quote:
This program is designed to take a list of DVD UPC codes (and optionally personalization data) and cause them to be entered into DVDProfiler. And the program can be downloaded here. I just get the impression you misunderstood my post and tried to import the xml directly into Profiler 2.4  | | | | IVS Registered: January 2, 2002 |
