Good day, Sirs,

why does the Credit Lookup Tool not use the field 'Original Title', but 'DVD Title'?

Given that 'Original Title' is not empty.

Love, bbbbb

Maybe it's because the program is called DVD and not Movie Profiler and we're supposed to look up the results for any particular DVD and not a Movie.

Probably the comma was set by mistake?
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

If that's the case and it's deliberate, then this means we should be counting profiles not titles for credits.

The program DOES count Profiles, we have 300,000+ Profiles Online NOT titles.

I  have a total 6812 Profiles, 4101 I own 14 under what I use Ordered for and 2697 Wishlist trofiles

I may be wrong, but perhaps you are not a very sensitive person.

Do you at least feel like a dear Sir?

Then counting 'titles' would serve no purpose at all. Whereas a 'movie'-count would be an interesting
additional information. As it is now the title-count reveals nothing useful, for it is pure coincidence
whether a DVD will bear the name of the original or not. 'Nothing useful' regarding the purpose intended.

As determined by whom, bbbb. Do you have some mysterious access to information that maybe out there that allows you to determine what Invelos intended. Or are you talking about YOUR intent.
