Here are the steps to make a simple .MIS
----------------------------------------

Get the database from my site www.i2mfan.com or make
your own from the IMDB ftp files.

The basic step are: unrar the database in a folder


1. Convert the movie to a different codec if you want

2. Install Info2MIS(if not done and free)

   http://www.mcgrathinfosolution.com/info2mis_en.htm

   2.1 Unrar and move the files from IMDB2MIS_Data....rar in the Data folder
       from "Options..."
	e.g. C:\Program Files\McGrath Info Solution\Info2MIS\data
	that folder should have dbmovies.dbf, dbmovies.cdx, dbmovies.fpt

	Note: I prefer on the F:\ in my case if I want to make an
	      image of my C: drive with Ghost, Drive image ...


3. Go "Tools" - "Create/update .MIS"
   Make sure that you have at least one Folder in there and
   that it point to the location of your media files or
   use the Context menu within Explorer(it's faster for 1 movie)

4. Click "Refresh", that will search all video files without a .MIS

   For Movie
   ---------
   4.1 Click "Search" if it is a movie and you have the IMDB data (optional)

   For TV show or any other video file or movies without the IMDB data
   -------------------------------------------------------------------
   4.2 In the "Search For" column enter the real title
       Then enter "Subtitle", "Description (long)", "Subtype", "URL"
       "Description (CE)" will take the first 120 caracters from 
       "Description (long)" and other fields that you want
   or 

   For a show, go on TV.com via the Web browser tab and search the episode 
   then click the extract(no need to TV 2 MIS anymore)

5. Click ".MIS" button at the right of the screen to create .MIS

 
   5.1 To give you an ideal of the result(main page):
