| | Posted: | | | | Does the file will be just the update headshot ? Since I don't have a fast conection (56k modem) the download take a lot of time (a night). By the way good job on the last version. |

| | Posted: | | | | Thanks for the kudos. A lot of work from a bunch of different folks goes into putting the HMDB together.
Unfortunately, It is practically impossible to put together an "update" version of the HMDB without running 2 computers side by side and performing a visual comparison of all the Cast & Crew one at a time and manually removing the "Ver 2 existing" headshots.
Version 3 will be the complete HMDB. We might be able to break it into smaller chunks and post those on one of the mirrors, but you would still need all the chunks to use it. | | | Juoquim

| | Posted: | | | | awesome job, i love it, great to jump through dvds with the actors face  i have a question though why is the head shot differ from cast and crew? big fish : danny devito (awesome headshot) garden state: danny devito (one from a movie) both different, maybe we should vote on 1 headshot, and use it for all accurences that being said ill will hunt down headshots for all my horror movies..whew. |

| | Posted: | | | | The reason headshots differ is because the cast & crew are separate databases. In essence, DVDPro considers Danny D. the actor different from Danny D. the director/producer/crew member. Because of this, a head shot had to be added separately for each. The person that added Danny must have found one image while doing the cast entry, and found a different one for the crew.
Once we have found most of the actors\crew, we may go back and standardize, but that is way in the future. In the meantime, if a higher quality pic is submitted for either the cast or crew entry, it will be chosen for the HMDB.
Looking forward to your horror movie additions! | | | Juoquim

| | Posted: | | | | Good job again. This time I didn't download it at home and it was way faster. 20 minutes is certainly better than 5 hours and more. It's practical that the university it just in front of my house. |
