DVD2SVCD IMDB access

[sundance]

Since DVD2SVCD introduced an option to retrieve movie info from imbd I was wondering if there was some sort of description/specs who to do this with my own software (Delphi project). Does anyone know where to find some hints to this "protocol"?

Pull the whole HTML body from the IMDb, and go through it until you have the data you need. If you take a look at the body, you will probably find it quite easy to step through it.

Here is an example. If you want the title of the movie, then the text you have to find is the following:

<H1><STRONG CLASS="title">Windtalkers <SMALL>(<A HREF="/Sections/Years/2002/">2002</A>)</SMALL></STRONG></H1>

CLASS="title" will only result in one match in the body. All the other information can be received the same way.

Put me out of my misery Bocker where is that signature quote from. I remember the line but I can't think where it's from.

Well, it is not an O.J. quote :)

(Anyway, something similar was said by Kelly in "Married with Children".)
