Download DVD Profiler 3.1.0 build 1151

Invelos Software released version 3.1.0 of the DVD catalog program DVD Profiler the day before yesterday. This program was originally released by Intervocative Software, but its creator Ken Cole started his own business. DVD Profiler distinguishes itself from similar programs in that it does not use online movie databases, such as IMDb.com for example, but a database that is maintained by the users of this program themselves. The unregistered version has only a few limitations, until more than fifty titles are added to the database. After that, the functionality drastically pinched off. The changelog of this release shows the following changes:
