What are the minimum fields for importing movies?

What are the minimum fields to import my movie csv text file into delicious library 2? When I simply import the file it moves everything over and creates the movie library but it will not search the internet for any of the titles (the refresh details from internet feature will not highlight). This worked for the books that imported. I have also tried using all of the columns that exist in DL, adding my limited info to that and then importing. This worked when I had the old version. I have the TITLE, DVD and MOVIE columns filled in as well as the LOCATION IN BUILDING and NOTES sections for my information (again, this worked in the old version). However, when I try to import that, it will only import 17 of the 187 items and the refresh from internet feature still does not work. Any thoughts? Thanks!
FYI... I actually have about 5000 items to import so the import and refresh features are critical for me.
 
sad I’m frustrated
Inappropriate?

    To import from a competitor, you need to export a list of ASIN or ISBNs to a text file, put "ASIN" at the top of the list, and then import that into DL2--you'll be able to reload all the rest of the details from Amazon including cover art by pressing "Command-R". If you don't have those numbers, importing a list of titles and authors into version 2 won't work, but there is something you can do.

    We used a different import process in Version 1, that was more capable of handling data without ASIN numbers (don't ask me why). Because of this, if you import your items into version 1, there's a much better chance of them being recognized (And assigned ASIN numbers) so that you will be able to reload details from Amazon. I'd suggest importing all of your items into version 1, and then when you first launch version 2, all the items in version 1 will automatically be transferred over.

    So download Version 1 is here:

    http://www.delicious-monster.com/down...

    And then import your items into there.

    Then you'll have to force DL2 to look for and import that data. To do that:

    - Close Delicious Library 2.
    - In your home folder, find and delete the "Library" > "Application Support" > "Delicious Library 2" folder.
    - Relaunch version 2. It should import the data from version 1 on its own.

    Just a note, deleting this file will delete any items you've already put into Delicious Library 2.

    Another note, Version 1 will probably struggle with that many items, so please be patient with it and don't force-quit if it looks like it isn't doing anything.

    Good luck!
