| | Posted: | | | | How does DVD Profiler react when something you scan isn't in the database? I need to buy a wireless scanner and scan a massive DVD collection that isn't in the same room as my computer. If something hangs DVD Profiler to wait for me to do something about an unrecognized bar code, I might scan a thousand titles and come back to find that only three have been entered.
And then, if I'm in another room scanning movies, how will I know which ones aren't recognized by the DVD Profiler database so I can put them aside and bring the stack with me to the computer so I can add them manually?
I just need to know if I can do this all in one sweep or if I'm going to have to bring armloads of DVDs to the computer so I can make sure each title is actually added and doesn't need manual entry.
Thanks for any info! |

Scan a ~100 titles at a time into a simple text-file and then load this via the Add DVD dialog. If a title is not recognized you have t go back to the batch you just scanned and try to find it. Thinking about it, you have the text-file so you should be able to lookup the UPC before the unrecognized (Alt&F10) and the title behind that on the shelf is the culprit. Quote:

| | Posted: | | | | I was hoping for at least some kind of audio cue that a DVD was not accepted. If it could be like that, I would keep scanning for positive beeps and I'd toss aside negative beeps for manual entry. But if a "not found" entry hogs the entry space without letting the scanner enter a new code, scanning in all these movies is going to be very annoying. |
