| | Posted: | | | | Hello,
maybe it is a bug, maybe it is a new feature request (in my opinion it is a bug, but OK):
when you start DVD Profiler and you have AnyDVD running, the entries for reading disc id and for adding a DVD by disc id are removed/disabled, since wrong disc IDs are generated when you use AnyDVD. Great.
However, when I start AnyDVD after I've started DVD Profiler, I can add discs by disc ID etc. So it is not checked anymore.
So my request: check if AnyDVD is running at any moment when somebody wants to do something related to reading a disc id. This to prevent errors for people not aware of the wrong disc id with AnyDVD. I guess that checking if AnyDVD is running takes some time, so thinking out a strategy for when to do this might be crucial for performance reasons.
Greeting,

| | Posted: | | | | OK, this might be well known to some, but not by everybody.
I know in the beginning I didn't make the link between AnyDVD vs. DVD Profiler and using disc id. Maybe I got a popup once and I closed this. Well my mistake then. But I didn't know the reason why AnyDVD and DVD Profile shouldn't be running together and I think a lot of people don't know it.
So to 'protect the innocent' and 'better safe than sorry' I think it is a needed feature to have this check added. | | | | Who is General Failure? And why is he reading my hard drive? |

No the real answer is don't run Any DVD when adding disc id. For those of us that need it's multi-region functionality to enable us to add cast and crew the 'simple' answer is as useful as a chocolate fireguard. | | | | IVS Registered: January 2, 2002 |

| | Posted: | | | | I think this would be a good addition too.
Or at the very least, a check when you're trying to add a disc ID to a profile. |
