Have you ever thought about video games, books, music, comics, toys, etc. software? If so, could we have them be unlimited registrations? Thanks!

More important (at least for some):

Whisky, Beer, Wimmin, Chocolate-Bars, Wine, Hummel-Figurines, ...

Every now and then someone seems to find the Holy Grail in how to expand the business model of Invelos.
And while the idea as such may be (even though neither new, nor unique) quite good, it is, nevertheless, very unlikely that any of those projects will ever see the light of day.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

I just thought that many of the competitors have such product lines that maybe something from Invelos would  give them a run for their money. Not only succeed at that goal, but exceed such efforts. and show them how it is done. I guess I will have to check back and see what develops, one this concept.

You have to realize that Invelos is basically a one-man affair in terms of software development. That makes it unlikely this will happen.

For your own local use only, the program has the tools, thanks to Ken, you need to create just about any database you can imagine. You would half to put some time and effort into learning the nuances of the program, but it's doable.

I use Profiler for VHS tapes, computer/video games, plus audio story CDs and tapes.  I just integrate them into the same database.  It works fine for my needs.  A lot of the credit types are quite similar, there's a fair bit of cross-over with films and TV (especially amongst cast), and I use the custom crew fields for the others that I want to record.  It keeps me happy.    (Wish I had enough to make it worthwhile to use it for Whisky/Whiskey.)

I guess I really treat the programme as "DVD, Blu-ray, VHS Tape, Game and Audio Story etc, but not audio-only DVD or Blu-ray Profiler".  I'll admit that's not very catchy or strictly accurate either.

I'd quite like to include all my audio too, (music is my first love, way ahead of films, etc), but there's so much of it and I've never come up with a way of properly copying 12" covers either, as they're too big for a typical scanner.  One day perhaps.  I record a lot of extra film etc soundtrack information in my local database.

I use lots of tags for all sorts of things, some of which are pretty random, including if a film has a cat in it, or a chainsaw, or a spaceship, if anyone get's decapitated, plus some of the feelings I get from watching it; lots more too.    They're great, because you can make up and modify your own Rules and no one's going to tell you they're not right.
Do you ever find yourself striving for perfection with an almost worthless attempt at it?  Guttermouth "Lemon Water".  Also, I include in my Profiler database VHS tapes, audio DVDs, audio books (digital, cassette and CD), video games (digital, DVD and CD) and 'enhanced' CDs with video tracks on them, as well as films and TV I've bought digitally.  So I'm an anarchist, deal with it.  Just be thankful I don't include most of my records and CDs etc in it too; don't think I haven't been tempted...

Music profiler would be obsolete. Mp3's have loads of tags these days, so any music collection player (e.g. foobar2000) can work as a "profiler".

Yes, I agree to some extent, but to do it requires everything to be digitised first, which takes a lot of time if you're starting with tapes or vinyl.  (I started over ten years ago with mine and I'm currently on the letter T).  Also, I like the idea of being able to do seamless searches inside one database to find cross-overs between music used in films & TV and original albums etc.
