<a href="#1">A Standalone Program</a> developed for generating the html and submitting details quickly (ie launches searches from a gui, imports all details from imdb automatically, imports basic avi specs, removes junk from filenames, etc.). This post is dedicated to showing you how to do it in this program. *Coming Soon*
<a href="#2">Manually edit the html</a> (simple find and replace ought to do it)
