As Movies runs on an iPhone (which is limited in raw processing power), importing movie collections is currently non-trivial.

For Extreme Movie Manager, the process is fairly simple: in EMM, just export your collection to iPhone and upload the created ZIP file as stated below from point #6.

For the other desktop movie catalogs, we convert their format into the Movies XML format and upload that newly created file to Movies. That's the bottomline, here comes the details.

1. In your desktop movie catalog, choose to export your catalog to XML
   • In Delicious Library, export to Delicious Library 1 and use that XML file
2. Browse to our conversion page and upload the XML from your desktop movie catalog. Make sure to select the correct application name on our conversion page.
3. Save the newly created XML file in a folder.
4. [optional] Copy the cover pictures from your movie catalog into the same folder
5. ZIP the content of the folder with the XML file and the [optional] cover pictures and name this ZIP file export.zip. Make sure to ZIP the content of the folder, and not the folder itself. Movies cannot handle ZIP files with folders inside.
6. Now follow the procedure to restore a backup (as this export.zip is now actually a real Movies backup file).
