Would it be possible to export the XML in UTF-8 encoding (which handles all foreign characters properly, independent of the importing system)?

Alternatively, you can convert the XML using e.g. Notepad++ . I do that with my export and the import in Movies always works fine...

Since I was asked for help via PM about the XML conversion, I just wanted to post my complete workflow to maybe clarify some things:

@license:        (CC) Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 Unported
@tools:          [interchangeable with similar software of course]
                      - Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/)
                      - XnView (http://xnview.com/)
                      - a file archiver like 7-Zip (http://7-zip.org/)


1. DVDP: Flag all profiles in Owned and Ordered
2. DVDP: Export flagged profiles to one XML file and only select Overview, Cast (all credits) and Crew (max. 3 credits)
3. Notepad++: Open exported file, go to menu "Format" and choose "Convert to UTF-8 without BOM"
4. Notepad++: In the first line replace "windows-1252" with "utf-8" and save the file
5. Upload file to Netwalk's conversion page and save the result to a new file
6. Repeat steps 1. to 5. with your Wish List items (in DVDP remember to unflag all profiles first)
7. Notepad++: Open the Wish List file and replace all (Ctrl+H) </Year><Length> with </Year><Status>1</Status><Length>
8. Notepad++: Copy (Ctrl+C) everything between <XMM_Movie_Database> and </XMM_Movie_Database>
9. Notepad++: Open the Owned & Ordered file, paste the clipboard (Ctrl+V) right after <XMM_Movie_Database> and save it as export.xml
10. XnView: Go to "Tools" and choose "Batch processing..."
11. Explorer: Open DVD Profiler's image folder (default path is "My Documents\DVD Profiler\Databases\<Your Database Name>\Images"), open the search panel (Ctrl+F) and search for *f.* (be sure Options --> Advanced --> Subfolders is unchecked)
12. Explorer: Mark all files (Ctrl+A) and add them via drag and drop into XnView's "Input" field
13. XnView: Choose an export path, JPG as format and in format options a quality between 60 and 80
14. XnView: Go to tab "Tranformations", expand "Image", choose "Resize", hit "Add >", enter 320 as width, only check "Keep ratio" and finally hit "Go"
15. 7-Zip: Pack the export.xml and the converted covers as one ZIP archive named export.zip
16. Enable WiFi on your iPhone and be sure it's in the same subnetwork as your PC
17. Movies: In settings choose "Clear all", afterwards choose "Restore"
18. Open the address displayed by Movies with a browser, choose your export.zip, hit "Submit"
19. Movies: After the file is available, press "Ready" and waaaiiit ;-)

Is there any reason that one couldn't use the "Save As ..." with the encoding dropdown set to UTF-8 on regular Windows Notepad?

1) Notepad has problems with large files (perhaps that's fixed in Vista/Win7 ?)
2) Simply saving the file as UTF-8 does not convert some special characters that may appear in overviews (at least in my experience – and again, perhaps that has changed in Vista/Win7 ?)

I'm almost done prepping my export.zip file, but am hoping I can get a last bit of help before pulling the trigger. 

Is it possible to upload only the Owned?  There's a LOT of detritus in my Wishlist and, with it, a ton of image files that reside in the images folder.  All told, I'm looking at 2300 files (101 mb before zip; 87 mb after).  That's a lot of iPod real estate.

I know I can create the xml file using just the Owned.  If I do that but have all the images am I lucky and only the images with corresponding profiles will be uploaded?  Or am I asking for trouble...

Thanks in finger-crossed advance for help.

Honestly, I don't know if the app deletes unneeded cover images after the import. But I doubt that.

But you could make a backup of your Owned collection, import that DVDP file to a new database and then export the XML from the new db and also copy the cover images from the new db's folder. Can't think of an easier way...
