Fairly new to DVDProfiler, but I notice that in the Cast Information window there is a slot for cast images.  How many of you have these and is there a quick way to get them other than copy and paste each one individually?  That's a lot of actors to look up and find appropriate photos for!

There are a database in this topic. This is not complete, but it's a good start

Headshot Database

Edit : Since northbloke answer while I was posting, I will add a better source than google, in my opinion.

Yahoo Image Search

awesome...love this forum..post a question and within 10 minutes get 2 responses    Does the HMDB update automatically when you refresh DVDProfiler or do you have to re-dl the database on occassion?

The database is user created and is therefore not officially supported by Invelos.  Technically many of the cast photos are considered copyrighted material so Invelos cannot supply the photos are store them on their servers or anything.  Though, as just a user who is grabbing photos from the net and pasting them into the application you have nothing to worry about.  I think once you get this database and it fills in probably a good 80-90% of your photos, it won't be too difficult to either find the rest or as I find in many cases, you'll just have to give up because the person just isn't that well know and no photo exists.

So to answer the question.. no, it won't automatically refresh itself.  If there are any major updates to the database itself, you'll need to download it again to get the updated photos.  More than likely once this gets you started you'll soon become addicted to searching for and finding the rest of the photos yourself.

Please stop with this kind of stuff.  Ken would not have pinned the topic if he were worried about legal liabilities.

LOL, since it is not shared through Invelos, Ken has little if any liability. The liability would fall to those sharing and those that run the site. Please stop with what you are doing, unicus. i think all users should be informed.

Ken is facilitating the sharing.  If there is liability involved, he shares in it.  Again, please stop the fear mongering.  This is no different than sharing cover images...unless you expect us all to believe that Ken has an agreement with every single copyright holder out there.

In addition, you regularly scan copyrighted DVD cover art...with the copyright included in the scan...and offer them to anybody who wants them.  So, please, stop the fear mongering.
