Loading Pics

I am fairly new to PVD...but thus far I am very impressed...having tried many other database programs. Anyways, I have been loading my movies in...which will be a real feat since I have almost 1400...and I wasn't able to import any of the CSV, Ant Movie or MS Excel files I had. I was doing very well inputting my movies, until this morning when suddenly, PVD stopped getting the movie posters/pics. It downloads all the other info just about...but then when it goes to get the pic, it says "No Movie Found :(". And these are regular popular movies. So what is going on here?? I really don't want to have to take time to start searching for these pics. I even tried other site options when you go to search for/add a movie...I tried all the Amazons and the IMPawards. Still same result. Anyone else having issues? Thanks.

Without an example movie it is difficult for us to verify the problem. Could you please name a movie where it doesn't work (maybe the imdb URL)

BTW:
Did you know that you can also import the images in one go selecting several movies and using the import function?

If you have an export of your old images you could also try the method mentioned in this thread:
http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/index.php?topic=1734.0

In the beginning I did it this way and it worked quite well. Given 1400 movies maybe it is an option.

I don't want criticize your achievement of inserting 1400 movies :) but maybe it would have been easier asking for help why the conversion (import/export) from Ant Movie didn't work out. Usually it is not a big problem. At least for the basic data like the URLS. Afterwards you could have made anyway an update of all movies with the import function. At least you could have spare yourself a long night  ::)

Well I don't have all 1400 on there yet...lol...only 91 thus far. So there may be some options.

Ok...so I got to As Good As It Gets ...1997...Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt....and it didn't load the pic. Also Arthur and the Invisibles and Assault on Precinct 13 2005 version. here is the IMDB url for As Good As It Gets...it has a poster...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119822/

Hopefully this will help? I really don't want to have to uninstall/reinstall or anything. I even tried closing the program and restarting it...didn't help. I shut down the computer and restarted...didn't help either.

Ok...so I switched over to the filmup_poster choice and that seems to work to get the poster. so far so good...maybe amazon has something going on?

I just tried to export my list from Ant Movie Catalog and import it to PVD...it sat there like it was doing it, but then nothing. Just has the same movies I have already put in with nothing imported at all. I tried to import from an Excel file...which sort of worked, but it only gave the numbers of the movie and no info. So I did the mass import under import and it seemed to get the info from the imdb site...except...it didn't change the name of the movie from a number to a name. So I would have to go back and redo the whole thing over again. I mean it may be a hair quicker to upload all like that and then just go through them...but it is a pain in the arse....any ideas?
