Install the Movie Database and DVD catalog on your PC, iPhone, iPad or iPod

 

 

 

You should have found the movie database in a zip-compressed format.
The movie database is delivered in .txt (database), .xls (Excel or the free Base software from OpenOffice.org) or FileMaker (database) format.

 

- The .TXT format is an easily importable one, while precising 'Tabulation" in the option menu.
This format can easily be imported in a newly created sheet in any basic Datasheet program (Excel for instance) or in a new file created with a Database program (FileMaker, Access, TapForms for Mac, or the free Base software from OpenOffice.org, etc.).

- The .xls format opens directly with Excel or Base.

- If you already have the FileMaker software, you can download the demo version of the CINEFAN movie database directly in the FileMaker (V.12) format.

- Those who do not have this FileMaker software can download a trial version of the latest FileMaker for Mac or PC (Mac OSX , and Windows 2000 & XP) on the FileMaker site.

- When you have the software installed, "open" my FileMaker Template (V.12) (expanded of course with the appropriate utility).

- then "Import" my CINEFAN.TXT file (also expanded), specifying Tab format, or the .xlsx file

- or download the demo version of CINEFAN directly in the FileMaker (V.12) format.

Here you are... enjoy, and adapt it to your needs and tastes.
