I have looked at all programs that I can find, and I have to say the the result is disappointing.

I have found only two that can import directly from DVD Profiler's export file; Collectorz and My Movies.

My Movies looked the most promising until I tested importing my collection. The import is web based. It has a progress bar that does not seem to work. I could import a very small collection, but when I tried to import the whole thing (a bit over 8000 profiles), it failed. Well, nothing happened, and I let the import run for 30 hours before I gave up. From their forum I learned that others have had the same experience.

Collectorz fared better, but it left a lot of my TV shows without any data. For the PC, the program is fully web based. It looks fairly good, but it lacks many of Profiler's features, there is, for example, no layout customization except for selection and order of columns. You get the cover images from the online, I think, and only front cover. You can add custom front and back images, but as far as I could tell it has to be done one profile at a time.
If you want both PC and phone apps, it'll set you back approximately $50 per year (I can only see the prices in SEK).

There are some programs that can import from CSV, but it's a whole lot more complicated, and those programs look pretty basic anyway.

Bottom line, if DVD Profiler doesn't work on your phone, and you really need that, then I'd say that Collectorz probably is your best bet. But for me personally, there is no way I switch to another program as long as DVD Profiler works.

Maybe someday add "Edit Profile" to pop up the Profiler dialogue?

Well, since TurboCLT takes its data from the online and not from your collection, "Edit Profile" isn't really an option.

By the way, the front and back cover tabs don't work on my version.

They should work if you check "Show images" from the Options menu first. This is unchecked by default since loading images takes a bit of time.

This is mentioned in the Help file in the topics "Display profile" and "Buttons and menu items".

Normally clicking the Refresh Updated Profiles button (w/o Ctrl) should download just an incremental update of the list (just the updated parts), but currently this is not working, so you have to download the full list by holding down Ctrl. And yes, it does take a bit of time, especially if you have a slow connection.

Do you still get an access violation even after a database repair?
