*  Keep Track of Your Entire DVD Collection	
 DVD Profiler can manage any size DVD collection.  Extensive data collection,
 filtering and reporting features specific to DVD, and unique to DVD Profiler.

*  Internet Connected for Sharing Profiles
 DVD Profiler Connects to the Online DVD Database at IVS.  IVS maintains a
 constantly growing database of DVDs.  The database is built by you - the users
 of the program.  Each DVD is entered once, by one user, and shared with all
 users.  Find an error?  Correct it and automatically share your correction
 with everyone.  Since the database is user-built, it will keep growing and
 refining until it is the most complete and accurate repository of DVDs in the
 world.

*  One-step DVD Entry
 For DVDs already in our database, entry into your collection is a one-step
 deal.  Enter the UPC from the DVD case, and DVD Profiler will retrieve the
 entire DVD Profile from our online database.  If you have a DVD-ROM drive,
 it's even easier.  Put the DVD in the drive and DVD Profiler asks if you
 would like to add it to your collection!

*  Track Complete DVD Information
 DVD Profiler stores a wide variety of data on the DVDs in your collection:
Title   Director           Production Year  Audio Formats  Running Time
UPC     Actor Names/Roles  MPAA Rating      Video Formats  Disc Extras
Studio  Release Date       Case Type        Disc Formats   Front & Back Pics
Genre   Purchase Date      Region           Overview       ...and much more!
 
*  Extensive Filter and Search
 How many DVDs in your collection star Bruce Willis, feature Widescreen and
 Pan & Scan versions, and is rated PG-13?  Which ones have the phrase "epic
 adventure" in the overview?  DVD Profiler supports any combination of filters
 and searches.  Filter for display or report printing through the same
 interface.

*  Parental Control
 Not all DVDs are G-rated, and some of our users may want to keep some of
 their collection from prying eyes.  For these reasons, DVD Profiler has
 complete parental control features which allow users to hide DVDs based on
 customizable criteria.  The default password for accessing the parental
 controls is "ACKNOWLEDGEMENT".  This password can be changed, and parental
 control can be disabled at the users preference.

*  'Wishlist' and 'Ordered' Collections
 - Keep track of announced DVDs you want in your Wishlist.
 - Move DVDs to your Ordered listing when an order is made.
