| | Posted: | | | | Is it possible to change the default media type when i add a new profile?
Whenever i add a new profile, dvdprofiler automatically adds the new profile as a dvd.
Since i collect about 99% Blu-rays i think it's annoying that i always have to manually change
it from DVD to Blu-ray. I have looked through all the settings of the old and the new version
(3.9) but could not find any matching setting. |

| | Posted: | | | | That's a good question. I haven't found an option that lets you do this, although it doesn't mean that it doesn't already exist, but I too find this annoying since 99.99% of new profiles I create are Blu-ray related. |

| | Posted: | | | | If this change is made it needs to be an option as 100% of new profiles I create are DVDs. |

| | Posted: | | | | This sounds like a good option to include in a new release  As I am now shifting more towards collecting movies in the Blu-Ray format I find the need to have an option where I am aware from the list as to whether I should look in my DVD cupboard or in my Blu-Ray cupboard for the title of the movie I wish to watch  Better still is to be able to produce lists of DVD collection as well as a separate list of Blu-Ray format for the collection Just wondered how feasible this would be and whether this could become a new feature in upcoming releases ??? |

| | Posted: | | | | I'm having a similar problem.
All additions are defaulting to Blu-Ray format and DVD format. Even when I'm adding by disc, it still defaults to the Blu/DVD format.
Never had this problem before v3.9.1 | | | [b]A penny saved is a penny earned ...

| | Posted: | | | | Ok, for me i found the same issue. when adding a new disc by upc it initially showed up as DVD and BluRay (despite i selected also HD DVD in the window tab you pointed out).
i think this one solution is not too smart as it is one thing to look what profiles are available and a different thing to select the media type you want to contribute.
for me it is sometimes DVD, sometimes BluRay... and for both of them i have to uncheck one of the boxes then?!
Isn't it possible to make a Default Setting as proposed? |

Never had this problem before v3.9.1 +1  This is the WORST change made in V3.9.1. I purchase 99% DVDs, so that is what I want "my" default to be. But, when adding a disc I like to have all media types selected because sometimes Blu-Ray is the only profile available or the Blu-Ray Profile is much more complete then the DVD profile.

Why do I have to first do this (unselect something on the "By Title" page), when I am adding "By Inserted Disc" and have unchecked "Download Profile From Invelos". I add a Profile by a "DVD disc ID" and the program thinks it is both a "Blu-Ray disc" and a "DVD disc", that is an error, in my opinion. | | | | Last edited: by zappman |

| | Posted: | | | | First, I am running 3.9.1...the latest build. I'm not sure what's going on, but I just sold off 1,750+/- DVDs and bought over a hundred Blu-rays and a couple DVDs. When I add them via the UPC and it's just a Blu-ray, just Blu-ray is checked; if it includes a DVD then both are checked; if it's just a DVD, that's all that's checked. So unless I missed something, and at 67 that sometimes happens, I don't get it. Before getting too up in the air, try: 1) Repair Profile Database; 2) Backup the entire database; 3) Create a new database and make it the default; 4) Restore backup to the new database file. If that doesn't work, then you may have a legitimate problem. And please, if I have missed something, someone tell me that I'm full of it...I won't get offended.  | | | | Marty - Registered July 10, 2004, User since 2002. |

You were adding by "UPC" and you don't see a problem I am adding by "Inserted Disc" to create a disc level profile, and I do see a problem (or quirk) Now that I know about this "Quirk" I just have to make sure I correct the newly created profile before I lock it down.  |

| | Posted: | | | | Hi there! For me it is also slightly different - i am adding UPCs that doesn't exist so far and cannot be downloaded of the database. For me it is looking just like zappmann showed out... |
