I have seen that. Still don't explain the 2 year cold freeze of DVD Profiler.

DVDP has always had long update cycles. We oldies just got used to it.

With oldies I meant long-time users. Many of us have been here for over a decade.

We are lucky we are getting an update.  People buying physical media for movies is going the way of the 8-Track and cassette tape.

I still think Ken screwed up and made mistakes with how he set up the payment structure, giving out lifetime subscriptions.  He also failed to come up with a new revenue stream.  I'd be happy to pay into some subscription model if it led to certain enhancements.  There was talk about DVD Online Plus, but it never materialized for whatever reason.

I also am curious why he didn't try to work into the Digital Copy World, to track online movies, to expand the market. Not sure why he is doing an update now, as I can't imagine there are many collectors out there running to but it if they haven't already.

When Invelos does go down, and I'm sure it will sooner than later, I can still use it to track my profiles, I'll just have to do them myself.  Which in my case, living in Canada, I probably do half of them myself from scratch already.

Easiest new revenue stream would be Amazon affiliate payments from the wishlist. It could be tied to a price tracker to encourage people to use it.

I'd vote for a yearly subscription...if updates were a little more often than every two years.  I'd also like to see an updated product name.  Perhaps Movie Profiler, as already suggested.

... lets face it  overall ., DVD sales are pretty well dead .. and blue ray / the new 4K dvd's are mainly sold if the price comes down after a few months/ years  .,
( just picked up Blue Ray - 2 disc of Apocalypse Now for $4.88  plus ship ).
.  and of course there are no rental stores stores in your city to drive to and rent and drop off later ..
BUT with streaming at $4.99 HD  and buying that same  HD title streamed to your home to capture and store on your PC  for $24.99  compared to some titles at $39.99 street date and then drop in price over the months .

This is all to combat Bit torrents, that practice is halted with the studios agreeing to release their titles day and date to cable companys or Webiste such as apple and amazon ( but not Netflicks, ,they have to wait a few months unless it is of their own Original broadcasting  and even then those original titles do not have any other place to be you cannot buy on blue ray  or dvd one of Netflicks original broadcasts ..

yes,, The new Norm and successful one is the advent of streaming  your Ip provider offers a fully full range of new titles with street date the same as disc street date (  a few years back the date was anywhere up to three months behind street, as the studios  and the Blockbusters of the time did not want any conflcits to offset their rentals.  )  and of course Netflicks  and especially Itunes and Amazon have a complete catalogue of titles dating back to the 30's  to either stream to your device or your ap o n your Big Screen wifi ready TV ..  you can buy  or rent the title for a certain period of time usually 48 hours ..  and now also Netflicks can download your movie to your Ipad or phone  and you can watch as many as your device can hold up at the cabin or in an area that has no Wifi .. this can save you a lot of money as wifi streaming can and will eat up all your data with video audio playback .. 

so what does all this have to do with Invelos  ?  I don't see nay where here on Invelos Profile where you  would want  to or could store your viewing movies..  Sure I would like to be able to store my latest streamed copy of Florence Foster Jenkins  but the data won't support it .. I stream and I watch  but I don't rent or buy the disc..  If I want to know in a year from now what (i.e.) Streep movies I have seen or not seen - that information comes in very hand with a program like DVD profiler ..  I have to download an existing version of (i.e.) Jenkins ( disc upc/code)  keep it in my wish column and the studios listed- I create  another 'studio'  such as Netflicks  or 'Shaw ON Demand' ( my ip provider)  so I know months from now,,  if needed,  when did I see it?  and how? . ( date and stream device) ..

I prefer the hard copy in my hand  and most often the supplementary/ second audio commentary  materials are only available  on the hard set..

say all this ..... this I believe ,  is why Profiler is slow to upgrade their software..  I do believe that membership to our club has decreased drastically over the past two years because of today's new technology & medium ...

thoughts?

Glad to see the dedication.. to  buying.. If half the people like yourself did so on a weekly basis  Blockbusters would still be around.. and streaming an after thought.
Most people like myself will not buy on title  unseen and if it is good enough to own.. will buy  after I watch/rent (stream)  . but not till I look at the performance of a 'said automobile ' till I take it around the block a couple times ..

I was only contributing to the thread as a possible reason why DVD's on its these days are on their way out ..  therefore the program may be waning in popularity and its days may be numbered ..

Hope Not..  Been a valued supporter of all DVD titles and some ownership ownership since 1997 ..    I may only have an actual  title base of only 600 plus titles ..  but Not all movies can be watched more than once  or twice in 20 years ..

but to have access to that title with Profiler saves me an enormous amount of time where it is located in the cabinet ..  I hope Ken does indeed carry on this program .. It is one of two programs I use every day.
the other is Google.
