[QUOTE="PierreLo, post: 188488, member: 10378"] Hi, I am in the same situation. Here is what I did, using Ant Movie Catalog as an intermediary step. (If you don't know Ant Movie Catalog, it is DVD Profiler like) 1. In Ant movie catalog, use the import function to open your mymovies mdb file (my movies database) 2. Ant movie will ask you to match fields in your database to its own fields (like title, disc #id, director, description, ...) 3. Once you have done this, a new collection will be created in Ant Movie catalog with all your details. 4. You can then export it to XML 5. Use the My Films plugin then to import this XML to Mediaportal As I'm not home right now, I can't check that this information is 100% correct, but it should be close to the real steps. Just experiment a bit to match all your MyMovies mdb fields to Ant Movie (some mymovies fields are -1, 0, 1 mysterious values) As for the cover art, I'm afraid you will have to assign them by hand. If you have a large collection, this is worth it (I have about 1000 references, I didn't feel like copying-pasting for momths to bring it to MP). For a more modest collection, iI'm not sure you will gain a lot of time compared to direct copy/paste in MP db editor. Hoping this helps PierreLo [/QUOTE]
