I have created a small app for my smartphone to have the dvd list of DVD Profiler always with me when i go shopping. Sometimes i see a DVD an wonder if i already own it. So i wrote DVDChecker to have my smartphone look in the list for me.

It can do this by scanning the barcode from the dvd and look it up in the list. When it says the dvd is already there, i don't have to buy it. Since there can be many different DVDs for one movie, i also have implemented a search by title. So i can look in the list by checking the title.

The app uses the exportfile of DVD Profiler. But not all of it, just the Barcode and the title. To have this file on my smartphone DVDChecker extracts the data i need, shrinking down the data file from some megabytes to some kilobytes. Then it uploads it to a webservice. The app on the smartphone downloads this file and uses this data.

The DVDChecker program on the pc can call DVD Profiler, wait for the program to close and export the collection file to the webservice if it is newer than the last file that was uploaded. So there is very little to do for the user after he installed DVDChecker on his system. Simply let DVDChecker start DVD Profiler and export the collection.

The program can be downloaded here:

I have been a user of dvd-profiler for years and would like to have it on my smartphone. Since Invelos seems to work on it, but there is no information when or if an android-version will become available, i decided to write my own app for my special needs.

If you look at DVDChecker and find some problems, bugs or simply want to share your experience, just send me an eMail (address can be found at the downloadpage) or post a message here.

Since i stop using DVD Profiler, this app will not be supported any longer. It was meant to be used as a workaround until an android app will be released by Invelos. Meanwhile i think there will never be such an app, so i have moved to another program that has all the features i need: a pc program and an android app that can be used in the shop to scan the barcode and add the dvd to the collection before i even get near the cash desk.

DVD Profiler was really great as long, as i didn't need it on my Smartphone. So i thank for the great work that the crew of Invelos did, giving us a program that is so easy to use and useful for every moviefreak (like me).

There is an app getting ready for public beta. I few of us here have been alpha testing it and it is getting close.

It is not a DVDP sanctioned app, but it uses the xml file for building a collection DB for your android phone.

There is also something if you want to just check a collection : MyCollection Conversation starts here and carries a few pages

I've intalled DVDChecker on my PC and sucessfully exported my DVD Profiler files.
I then intalled DVDChecker on my phone and run it. It scanned the QRC OK
and then wait a few seconds before sending the following error message:
"Unfortunately, DVDChecker has stopped." with an OK button.
Do you know what the issue could be? and a way to fix it?
Or do you know of any other way to export DVDprofiler collection to an Adnroid ICS phone?
Thanks
