I've been a member of Invelos since 2008 and have multiple programs in similar vein. Out of all the programs, Invelos is the best (in my opinion) except for 1 aspect, not allowing imdb for cast/crew submissions. People argue imdb is full of errors but hell, Invelos profiles have even more. Different cast and crew members having the same name getting counted as the same person, people with typos in their name erroneously added, people using pseudonyms in credits getting in data base improperly and don't get me started on Hong Kong and other Asian films as Invelos is a complete disaster when it comes to credits of those films.
I’ve had numerous friends and relatives stop using Invelos recently for the simple fact new releases are not making their way into the database and they don’t have the time to add it in for themselves. The decline of physical media is part of the issue, but another is normal people do not have the time to add cast and crew credits. Adding a new profile by just submitting the technical specs is time consuming enough, but having to add cast and crew yourself without the convenience of copying from an already approved Invelos profile is maddening. Think about how asinine this is, having to put a movie in and pausing during the credits to manually enter the info into the database. For a television series, it’s an absolute nightmare and it takes HOURS to do this. Sorry, unless I’m getting paid, I have better things to do with my time than pausing film and television show credits manually add them in. Due to this, countless television series database entries lack cast and crew credits because of the time/effort it takes to watch, pause and manually enter in credits.
With imdb, the hard work is already done. An invaluable tool that many other apps of similar fashion automatically pull from. Not utilizing that information, with the downfall of physical media, is going to kill off DVD profiler. I’ve lost count of how many new submissions I’ve sat on because there isn’t another version in the database I can copy the cast/crew from, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to pause a film/show during the credits to manually enter in. Many of the people that had the patience/where-with-all add cast/crew credits have jumped ship leaving the rest of us not being able to add profiles due to lack of time to submit.
I’m sill using Invelos for now, but I’m not sure for how much longer. If only Invelos could change their rule on imdb and update the program to automatically pull from that site. Sadly, the Invelos programmers have all but given up on the program with constant errors not getting fixed, long approval times for submissions and constant spammers in the forum. | Posted: Topic Replies: 25, Topic Views: 4103 |  | | Having issues of approved and released profiles not showing up in the system. An Example is I have a freind that submitted a recent Kino Lorber release for The White Dawn. It was approved and released over a week ago but I get nothing when typing in UPC or typing in the title. I submitted The Warrior Collection which was also approved and released a week ago and my brother can't locate it in the data base | Posted: Topic Replies: 5, Topic Views: 4462 | | | I opened a support ticket about hte refresh issues on 06/24/24 and it's still labled "In Queue". At this rate, I'm not sure it will ever get fixed. | Posted: Topic Replies: 87, Topic Views: 22363 | | Hard to believe the people at invelos are allowing spammers remain in the forums.  | Posted: Topic Replies: 3, Topic Views: 3344 | | I have a number of new contributions coming up onto 1 month without approval. They are in danger of falling off the queue and this is the longest I've ever had to wait for new submissions to get approved. This along with the continued error of the refresh option makes me nervious.  | Posted: Topic Replies: 2, Topic Views: 3333 | | | What is this "CTRL" work around? I can't see the post by this "greyghost" user everyone is thanking | Posted: Topic Replies: 87, Topic Views: 22363 | |
