Why'd you want to acquire the copyrights of this? You know that you can't use the XML export file for anything commercial without the approval of Invelos?

Not to mention I would claim it was derived work if it the overview is simply added to my XSLT example... that is if it was advanced enough to be protected by copyright (or similar law) in the first place... which it isn't, and neither will be be simply because the overview is added.

But maybe he just want to reserve the right to change it after he gets it, which is obviously OK.

By the way, I seriously doubt Invelos has any right what so ever to prohibit creation of programs and utilities that work with the XML export. It is the commercial use of the actual data that requires approval, not programs that work on the data.

*.pdf ?
I do not know the DVDP collection, can export as *.pdf.

Actually, this was a Gag.

If I understand right, it is the enlargement of "lmoelleb" XSLT file, not a great effort. All the more unfriendly is the fact that there is no one can or want to make .... very unfortunate

Does something like this work???? (If not, maybe it is close enough for somebody to finish it)

<xsl:transform version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <html>
      <body>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="/Collection/DVD">
          <xsl:sort select="SortTitle"/>
        </xsl:apply-templates>
      </body>
    </html>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="/Collection/DVD">
    <b><xsl:value-of select="Title"/></b><br/>
    <span style="color:gray">
      &#160;&#160;#<xsl:value-of select="CollectionNumber"/>,
      <xsl:value-of select="RunningTime"/> min.<br/>
      <b>Quick Review</b><br/>                          <--------- New stuff
      <xsl:value-of select="Overview"/><br/>          <--------- New stuff
    </span>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>

Send the Euros to the original person that made the script for you. No need to ignore that person just because they didn't provide that last bit. People have done that to me before and I hate it - after hours and hours of work, they offer no support, then near the end they offer some kind of prize to do something that I could care less about. I usually ignore them, and get nothing - even after all the work. Maybe that's what happended here.

By the way, this was not a motivator. It turns people off. I'm just bored, so I took a shot at it ...

If it is no great effort, why not do it yourself?  What is unfriendly is someone asking for help and then having an attitude when nobody is able to give that help.

The main reason I did the original XSLT for him was simply the usual developers "I wonder how PRC files are made in the first place". Now I know and I have other things to spend my time on. I didn't do it for the money, so he can keep them and spend them on an anger management course

To do the overview in a way I would have been happy with for my own use, I would have to replace the <i>, newlines etc with actual formatting - I know very well it can be done in XSLT but I would have to go looking for it, and to be honest I hate doing XSLT precisely because such a simply task requires so much code. And no, 15 euros simply isn't enough to make me spend my free time doing something I don't like... I see enough of this stuff at work.

1. THX mediadogg it work, unformatted text ..... but it is enough (Give me your PayPal ad ...)
2. For all (other) bleaters ... I think it unfriendly if i could help it but do not because i think it is simply .... If someone does not have time is it something else.
3. I am too stupid to go for XSLT
