Download DVD Profiler 3.6.0 Beta Build 1315

The last version of DVD Profiler dates back to December 2008. Invelos Software seems to have picked up the thread again, a new development version was released a few weeks ago. DVD Profiler is a DVD cataloging program that differs from similar programs in that it does not use online movie databases such as Imdb, but a database 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, however, the functionality becomes a bit pinched off. The changelog for this release shows quite a few changes:
