So I was playing around with this over the weekend.  Here are a couple of screenshots (apologizes in advance if they're too big)

The first one shows the full, unfiltered collection sorted by sort title.  Information was taken from the CSV export plugin.

Image 1

The second screenshot shows a bar graph with a few filters applied (Sci-fi Movies produced after 1974 in keep case)

Image 2

Finally, the last one shows me zoomed into a specific title, with some details visible.

Looks interesting.

How much time did it take to set something like that up?

Once I got the hang of using the different tools, not too long.
I used the CSV export plugin to export the required fields, and built the collection using the Excel Pivot Add-in.  There's sample code for creating Silverlight viewer application.  The longest part was uploading the image files to my web host.  The collection tool breaks each image up so that the larger images (when zoomed in) are actually a composite of six smaller images.  If I had been smart, I would have tar'd the files on my drive, and then extracted them once the whole thing had been uploaded.

hm, could you send me a CXML of ~10 or so profiles? Maybe there's a way to directly transform the DVD Profiler XML to CXML. Because I have no Excel, and so the way via Pivot Add-In is closed to me.

Is the collection tool part of Silverlight or part of the Excel Add-in?

Niiiice!!    Could be a cool plugin.
Sorry I didn't see this post in time to award greenies.
Edit: This is the kind of interface I have been looking for to organize media under LoadDVD. My prototype is slow and ugly. But my version of MS Tools doesn't support the sample. What version are you using?
Thanks for your support.
Free Plugins available here.
Advanced plugins available here.
Hey, new product!!! BDPFrog.

I uploaded a sample cxml for you at http://www.leiterfluid.com/pivot/SampleData/SampleDataSet.cxml
The image files are zipped up at http://www.leiterfluid.com/pivot/SampleData/SampleDataSet_files.zip if you want to download them.  The excel plug-in formats and creates the scalable image files, but there's a separate tool that can be downloaded from Microsoft to build the image collections.

Hope this helps!

Had a quick look at it, most stuff looks simple enough like
Quote:
        <Facet Name="Production Year">
          <Number Value="2007" />
        </Facet>

but every <Item> has something like
Quote:
    <Item Id="0" Img="#0" Name="AVP: Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem">

which are the IDs under which the images are stored. So either one has to incorporate those consecutive number the images have into the CXML or (and I would prefer that) using the <ID> from the DVD-Profiler-XML here and in the naming of the images.

Yes, that seem more of a job for a plugin, given that you also have to transform the pictures.
