Open a XML file in a text editor and copy everything to clipboard (Ctrl+A -> Ctrl+C).
Then open the edit window of the profile in question in DVD Profiler, goto Cast or Crew (depending if you copied cast or crew), right-click on the list on the right-hand side and select "Paste All Cast/Crew".

The more current versions of the cast and crew data from my site you will get, if you use my Cinematic Collection Viewer. There you get the recent data via File->Update->TV Data.
After you got the data, you can right-click on a season entry (in TV mode), and select "Copy to Clipboard->Cast/Crew". This will get you a more current version of the XML into your clipboard for pasting into DVD Profiler.

The ZIP file with the prepared Profiler XML is only updated irregularly.

Actually, I was wondering if you could help me, I've just finished doing a full update of The Munsters cast & crew including 3.5 crew and I thought I'd share (seeing how your original cast lists were a big help).
But I can't work out how - I'm probably being dumb! 

Where did you edit the cast & crew? In Profiler or in CCViewer? I.e. from to where do you want to transfer?

Transferring from Profiler to Viewer is a little tricky, but it can be done. I have written a script for this (it's available in CCViewer via File->Update->Other Data), but I think it's easiest if you send me the cast & crew XML as two separate XML files and I will do the conversion.

Okie dokie - I'll just stick them in PMs rather than clog up the forums - is that good enough for you?
Or would you rather me email you the actual xml files?

I prefer email. Then I can better track my ToDos.
I usually convert the XMLs I got from others in batches instead doing them at the time I get them.

I have found that if you use Tom's program for TV cast and crew editing, its so much easier to edit than Profiler. With Profiler you have to search for each cast and crew member when you add a new episode, while with Tom's program it has a series cast/crew list and it so much easier to find someone when editing a show.

Also for transfering from the Cinematic Collection Viewer to Profiler all you have to do is right click on the season you want and copy to clipboard the cast or crew. Then when in Profiler right click again in either the cast or crew and paste.
