DvdpVerify and CastCrewCheck

These are two tools that work well together when you are trying to audit a profile, e.g. make sure that the information actually matches the data in the movie and on the cover.

DvdpVerify

 

This is a tool where you don't need the export file, if you have HTTPJolie installed. You can load the data directly from DVD Profiler.

As you watch the program you just check off the various items.

Tabs that are completely checked and has no errors will show a green signal. Tabs that are completed but has errors will show a red signal. Tabs that are not fully checked show yellow. When all tabs are green or red, you can edit the profile in DVD Profiler and make any corrections that are needed.

Note that the Cast & Crew tab does not have any details, just check boxes to mark that they have been verified. There are two reasons for that; the cast and crew verification is much more complex than the rest of the data, and I already had a separate program for that - CastCrewCheck.

CastCrewCheck

When you start DvdpVerify, CastCrewCheck will also be started if you have it installed, and the cast and crew from the profile will be loaded into CastCrewCheck.

 

If there is no cast/crew in the profile, or if it seems very incomplete, you cast get cast and crew from IMDb via CastCrewEdit. If you intend to contribute the updated profile, it is important that you make sure that the cast roles match the credits, as outlined in the DVD Profiler rules.

There is much more to learn about these programs in their respective help files.
