I wanted to establish the common name for visual effects supervisor Jean-François (Jafaz) Ferland, with way too many name variants (it's not at all unlikely that I've missed some).
JEAN-FRANÇOIS (JAFAZ) FERLAND (7 titles, 7 confirmed)
- Les affamés (confirmed by T!M)
- La belle et la bête (confirmed by greyghost)
- The House With a Clock in Its Walls (confirmed by mreeder50)
- Late Night (confirmed by T!M)
- Life Itself (confirmed by greyghost)
- National Champion$ (confirmed by huskersports)
- Wonderstruck (confirmed by T!M and Nosferatu)
JEAN-FRANÇOIS "JAFAZ" FERLAND (7 titles, 3 confirmed)
- Deadfall
- Imaginaerum
- Juste la fin du monde
- Long Shot (confirmed by T!M)
- Mommy (confirmed by T!M)
- Tom à la ferme
- Turbo Kid (confirmed by greyghost)
JEAN-FRANÇOIS FERLAND (6 titles, 2 confirmed)
- Boychoir (confirmed by T!M)
- La chute de l'empire américain
- Game of Death
- The High Note (confirmed by T!M)
- Laurence Anyways
- The Death & Life of John F. Donovan
JEAN-FRANÇOIS ("JAFAZ") FERLAND (1 title, 1 confirmed)
- Arrival (confirmed by T!M and Nosferatu)

- Devil's Gate (confirmed by T!M)
JF FERLAND (1 title, 1 confirmed)
- Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning: Part One (confirmed by mreeder50)
The CLT also shows a lone Canadian DVD with an alledged acting credit for a "Jean-François Ferland". It doesn't seem to be this visual effects supervisor, seems unlikely, but I can't be entirely sure, so I thought I'd mention it. | Posted: Topic Replies: 19, Topic Views: 8017 |

I wanted to establish the common name for actress Sarah Viccellio/Sarah Clements. Viccellio is her maiden name - she only started using Clements after she got married.

| Indeed. "Supervising Producer" is a valid credit for DVD Profiler purposes, "Production Supervisor" is not. | Posted: Topic Replies: 2, Topic Views: 1599 |

I wanted to establish the common name for actor Damion S(c)heller:
DAMION SHELLER (3 titles, 2 confirmed, 46 profiles)
- Infinity
- Manhattan (confirmed by T!M)
- Rich and Famous (confirmed by T!M)
DAMION SCHELLER (2 titles, 0 confirmed, 10 profiles)

Even if 'Infinity' turns out to be Damion Scheller, the larger number of profiles acting as the tiebreaker would still make Damion Sheller the common name. | Posted: Topic Replies: 0, Topic Views: 889 |

It might be worth a try for someone who is really miffed at having to wait for that download.
For the record: I have absolutely no problem waiting for a minute while refreshing the online profile list, I'm not craving for an automated process. I merely noted that if a lot of us are downloading those files several times a week, that causes unnecessary traffic to the server. That alone could have been a reason for Ken to fix it. But alas... | Posted: Topic Replies: 68, Topic Views: 15971 |

Have you seen this post?
Yes, but that was five months ago. Surely something as basic as being able to get profile updates without having to refresh the entire online profile list every time could've been fixed by now. The repeated downloading of that largely-the-same block of data using the CTRL trick actually creates unnecessary traffic for the server. | Posted: Topic Replies: 68, Topic Views: 15971 |

I wanted to document the common name for actress Alfredine/Alfie (P.) Brown. She has only three titles in the database, under three different name variants:
ALFREDINE BROWN (1 title, 1 confirmed, 32 profiles)

With the larger number of profiles acting as the tiebreaker, Alfredine Brown is currently the common name. | Posted: Topic Replies: 0, Topic Views: 854 |

I wanted to establish the common name for actor/producer Ken (W.) Johnson. His official website can be found at at www.kenwjohnson.com. Note that in each and every title he is involved with up to now, he has both an acting credit and a producing credit (sometimes co-producing - which aren't included in the DVD Profiler database), often using his middle initial for his cast credit, but dropping it for his producer credit. Also note that there are many other people named Ken Johnson in the database, throwing off the raw CLT numbers.
KEN W. JOHNSON (3 titles, 1 confirmed)
- The Smell of Success (cast credit)
- Stay Cool (cast credit, confirmed by T!M)
- The Ticket
KEN JOHNSON (2 titles, 1 confirmed)
- The Smell of Success (producer credit)
- Stay Cool (producer credit, confirmed by T!M)

This is getting a bit annoying now.
Indeed... Apparently new birth years are a strictly local matter now. While I'm thankful that I can still use DVD Profiler in a way that suits my needs, this particular error feels unnecessary. You'd think this - an existing bit of functionality - could be fixed in five minutes.
Again, while I'm still (very) thankful for DVD Profiler, I've never been able to quite grasp what Ken's current view of this project is. It wouldn't be a huge stretch to guess that he's lost interest, or at they very least that "real life got in the way" somehow, and that's entirely understandable. What I don't understand, however, is the dualistic approach: on one hand, he does keep the DVD Profiler server up and running, which can't possibly be free while I'm sure that there's no new money coming in anymore, but on the other hand, there hasn't been any visible development in years and years, and even basic errors like this one aren't fixed. I would have understood if he'd just walked away and shut down the server, but I don't understand why he'd keep things running (and keep paying for it) while not addressing such basic issues. I wasn't ever expecting him to suddenly get back to working on DVD Profiler on a daily basis - but, hardware maintenance aside, even just spending one afternoon a year on it would really help us a lot. If that's really not an option, then why keep things running at all? Again, I'm glad that he does, but I don't understand it.
For the record, and I've said so many times before: I do not expect Ken to work for free, and I fully understand that a one-time-fee paid literally decades ago isn't sustainable into 2024. So I'd be perfectly happy to support Invelos in the form of, say, a yearly fee. Gladly. And even then I wouldn't expect him to work on DVD Profiler daily, but I would want errors such as this one to be fixed. | Posted: Topic Replies: 10, Topic Views: 8031 |
