I've been loving the program since first using it, but I haven't done too much customization with it (mostly adding photos).  I  did a search but couldn't find a topic on this.

* I'm trying to catalog my UMD collection, and since those aren't officially supported, I need to create new profiles for each.

For a lot of these, I already own the title on DVD/Blu-Ray and would like to copy that information (understanding that not all of it would apply - special features and audio, for example). Is there an easy way to do this?

Lets say I have Resident Evil on DVD (complete profile/contents), and create a new entry for Resident Evil on UMD with empty contents.

* My next question would be for adding content to an empty profile - is there an easy way to pull this information (cast from IMDB, for example?) or does it need to be entered individually?

* Last question - I notice when viewing cast, not all entries appear -- looking up the missing entries, it looks like the cast might be entered slightly differently (in some cases, it appears identical, so it may be a spacing issue). Is there an easy way to "merge" these, or do I need to remove/add cast one-by-one.

Alternatively, assuming you've created the UMD entry:
Click to the original, then from the menu: DVD -> Copy
Click to the UMD entry, then from the menu: DVD -> Paste
The dialog box that then pops up lets you copy multiple parts, among which are cast and crew.

2nd question: if the cast and crew profile is not yet available, yes, somebody has to put in the hard work of copying those from the actual movie credits.
Invelos doesn't allow copying from IMDB (or others, in the rules they're called 'third parties') because of copyright issues and the subsequent risk of costly lawsuits.

3rd question: not sure what you describing: missing entries? If it isn't there it never was, AFAIK.

Thanks everyone! That was very helpful - I'll try it out tonight.

Some profiles seem to have different spellings/variations of cast names. Maybe it's an extra space, a "Jr." or "II", or an accent mark.

I noticed it when viewing a cast member and not seeing all of the titles.. for example, Movie A, B, C, E, F, H, and I appeared.. but movie D, G and J did not appear (even though the actor is in them).

Looking up Movie D, G and J, the actor is listed in the cast, but the name might be slightly off. I was looking for a way to "merge" this name with the other spelling (that appears on Movies A, B, C, E, F, H, I). Is there a way to do this, or do I need to remove the actor from the misspelled profile and re-add them (using correct spelling) individually?
