A new version will be available on the first update or near the end of the month. 
The IMDB ftp files are updated and available each Friday or sometimes Monday. 

With Info2MIS, I created the database for all movies(from 189x/2006 to now). 
I saved you 8 hours of heavy use of the hard disk/cpu. So, you can still can 
do other stuff at the same time. 


This is the database only and not the application.
The rar contain 2 text files, 2 Creating a .MIS video(rar)
and a subfolder "\data9999spec" with the data.

Monthly update(No need to reindex anymore):
189x : 270MB rar and 1.35Gig unrar
       Perfect for old movies.		

2006 : 21MB rar and 90-138MB unrar 
       Perfect for recent DVD movies or test it out

All the instructions (step by step) are in 
"How to create MIS.txt"

For better search result with I2M :

Name the movie to something more clearer.
Most of the time, the name is not changed.

example: "My Horror Movie 2005.avi" 

D:\Movies\Horror

My Horror Movie 2005.avi
My Horror Movie 2005 Sample.avi
My Horror Movie 2005 Trailer.avi
My Horror Movie 2005 DVD cover.jpg
My Horror Movie 2005 DVD back.jpg
My Horror Movie 2005 English.srt
My Horror Movie 2005 Spanish.srt
My Horror Movie 2005.idx
My Horror Movie 2005.sub

 
The basic ideal is:

movie.avi
movie.jpg(cover)
movie.mis

Work great with the movies I recorded from TV. :D 

It's for a 10-foot TV viewing(HTPC). On a big screen (50 inch), a "32" 
is better than the "18" like you see on the bottom of the picture. 
The basic version is used for the shows. In the registered version, 
you won't have to change to "32" everytime and you get other stuff(see above). 
You now see what the picture is used for. 

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

Movie:
http://www.i2mfan.com/blue_crush_example.htm

TV:
http://www.i2mfan.com/tvseries_example.htm

Don't worry if you have "-" or "." in the name. It's the word that counts

*************************************************************************

What is a .MIS(i2mfan definition)? 

A .MIS is a metadata text file formatted to help in the organization
of all the movies you got in folders. I2M will try to give the best 
movie title based on the file name. Once, you have given the good IMDB
title, a .MIS will be written for each movie file.

The .MIS will contain almost all the information that is on the IMDB.COM
from plot, trivia, goof, actors, crew.... So instead of going to the 
IMDB.COM for information, you just read it from the .MIS with notepad or
better yet, with MIV. Useful if your are offline!

I record a lot of movies with my computer video capture card from my TV
source. With I2M and MIV, my parents or I don't need to remember what 
the movie was all about because of the .MIS. It goes well beyond the EPG.
I also put the URL of the movie from IMDB.COM to be able to click on actors
afterward to see in what movie he/she was in when I'm connected to the 
internet. Thank you IMDB.COM to be open and make available most of your 
database.

For now, MIV is the only application that can read and use the .MIS. MIV 
will create a small database based on each .MIS in a folder and then you 
select a movie thru MIV, it will read the .MIS and show you the information 
in a 10 foot interface (HTPC) so you could see it from your couch, monitor
or bedroom TV if you have a computer attached. A wireless mouse or a mouse
with a long cable is useful if you want to seat from a distance from the 
monitor. I hope hardware DVD (DiVX) will support it in the future. 


The registred version of MIV will give you additional features
but the unregistred one is still useful for basic needs. 


I hope I gave you enough information but I suggest that
you try it for yourself and I can help you if you need it.

If you find the information lacking PM or add a comment so that 
the next time it will be more complete ;-)
