Can you restore those profiles from the original backup you used from 2.5?

I would NOT use the repair tool at the moment - that gives a whole new bucket of fish. (A new version 3.01 will fix the repair and should be out fairly quickly).

If i restore will it overwrite the existing collection? I dont want to do that. Also if i restore, can i only restore those specific profiles? So that it would only overwrite those profiles that are corrupted?

Also the update from the master DB has 5/6 of my collection, i'm going to go through the list and see if that fixes them.

EDIT:
Damn, just realised something. Yesterday i started to go through the "Refresh Updated Profiles" list, on some of the profiles when i tryed to check the changes, it gave an error:

It says something like "Wasnt able to download the file. Do you still want to continue?"

Then thought it was the server busy issue, still found it strange that it only did it on some profiles.

Just checked again, the profiles where it gave the error, are exactly the same as the ones that are corrupted now. Yesterday i did not update any profiles, i started to go through the list, got to B, and then pressed 'cancel' and thought id go through the rest of the list later.

If i try to add the DVD's to my collection, there the preview works fine.

^^ I'll wait a little while, if Ken/gerri want more info on the bug, so that i can provide the data that might have led to the current status. So that it could be fixed. But i did try it one profile, it overwrited the corrupted profile and now works. It created a dublicate of the profile, but both the copy and the original work.

Anyway, more info, if i try to add a DVD to my collection, that is already in my collection, it says "It is already part of my collection". When i try to add a DVD that is corrupted, it doesnt give such error. But the profile still has that Owned -icon next to it. It seems these DVD's has dissappeared from my collection, but the profile list still has them.

I have tryed to go through these correupted profiles on 2.5 to see if theres anything in common with them. So far with no luck, it seems to be completely random.

This didnt work so well, when restoring the profile, it makes a dublicate (there are 2 identical profiles in my DB). Both seem to link to the same info, when i delete one of them, it goes back to the part where the remaining one doesnt work. For the DB to work, i would probably have to delete the whole DB, and restore from scratch, i think.
