Just bought a cheap laptop for using profiler (among other things) at work.  Was planning on choosing films with it for when I get home but also to do all the editing I need.  So what I could do with is getting some sort of directory of films listing the cast/crew etc offline.

Anyone know how this could be done?

Sorry - I don't understand your request - what exactly do you need to do?

I want to be able to enter any missing cast crew info in my profiles.  I have no access to the internet at work though so I would need to be able to download it somehow to view it offline.

Well I'm assuming this is just for local use as we're only allowed to use the actual end credits of the DVD itself for the online database source.
But all I can think of is you decide which films you're going to do. Then go to the various online databases at home and save offline versions of each film's page, giving you an offline version of the info.

The best place to get the data is from the DVD.
Almost all DVDs have credits that can be entered into DVDProfiler.
In fact the only place that you should be getting cast or crew data is from the film credits on the DVD.

OK, maybe I overdid it on the  part, but what can I say.

Taking all my DVDs into work worth me isn't really practical  Especially on a laptop with no DVD drive lol 

Besides what I what I do with my local database is my business.  I bet alot of people get the info from places other than the credits...whether they admit it or not.

I dont mind the odd mistake, they'll be noticed and rectified eventually.

I do however understand why a lot of people take the time to get the info from the source, I do it myself when I have the time (which isnt often)

One thing you could do is to down-load all instances of those title that you own from all localities/regions into your wishlist then you could pick and choose which elements you require for your own version and just cut and paste what you require (ie cast/crew/audio/video etc) it would only be minor items that would require change SRP/Regions.

Whats the fastest way of doing this?  Would I have to do it individually for each profile?

You need to get the data from the film itself

If you search google using download web pages, you'll find all sorts of links for apps that will do it for you.

Having said that have you tried 'Save web page as' on whichever page your looking at, that has the info you need?

If it works and you plan ahead you can save pages for the profiles you plan to work on.
