I also "proof"/build a profile for every disc I buy, first completing everything but the cast & crew.
The overviews is scanned using Omnipage, Pro, Ver 17,OCR.
The disc specifics I get from Cyberlind Power DVD 9, region codes, running time, etc.

I do not do the cast & crew for the mainstream/popular movies as there will be 20 or more people pin-ponging data those for the next six months.

I try to put my efforts on the DVDs I buy that nobody else profiles or very few do.
I keep the owned and ordered lists locked. There are only a few people I would trust to blindly accrpt their profiles. Most of the people who are battling back and forth in the forum do a pretty good job, even if they don;t like the rules.

For TV series I try to get the cast data any place I can to start with, sort and format the list in wordpad.
I do this because no mattter where I would get them from they are beter than mu typing. From that list of names I create a list by episodes as I watching the DVD credits. For the re-occurring stars I copy that from the first episode then add the extras on and on. The crew on TV series is usually constant with only the director and editor changing.

I don't submit as many profiles as I would like, but my main reason for owning DVDs is to watch them

Who has time to watch his DVDs/Blu-rays? Who???? Come on out and tell us now! Stop hiding in the dark!

Define watched, I have seen virtually everything in my collection, though i might NOT have watched the DVD.

Proofed? everybody can Say, i have this and this, and in the DVD Profiler I can put a lot of DVD´s, but when you have some Photos of all your DVDs, this is a Proof.

Yeah right, a photo would be proof. Sure, absolutely. Nobody could find a photo of a large DVD collection online. Nobody could.

Proof is when you go and visit Skip. He will gladly show you his collection, right Skip you would let a fellow DVDProfiler check out your collection, wouldn't you?

What about a poll concerning unwatched DVDs/Blu-rays? 
Results could be shocking! 

There has been another thread about this... and, as you guessed, the results were "quite intersting".

Some had watched almost everything, some were determined to catch up with everything before they would 'allow' themseleves to buy any more DVDs (I believe quite a few failed in this dream though!) and, of course, quite a few had a lot of stuff unwatched...

FWIW, unlike Skip (who said he has watched just about everything he owns though maybe not on the DVD) I do 'confess' to quite a few 'blind buys' that I've never seen and are awaiting first watches... presently standing at over 250 movies and over 300 seasons of TV.

... then there's lots more stuff I've bought on DVD after seeing it at the cinema/on TV/on old VHS but still not watched the DVD itself... and when it comes to unwatched featurettes and unlistened to commentaries I daren't even start to count!

Don't think I don't watch though; I've seen over 200 epsiodes of TV on DVD this year already... it's just my buying tends to outstrip my watching a bit too often...

Recognition is the first step to a cure.    Not that this addiction does a lot of harm, I think.
