What software/script/method do you use for 2257 management
 

friggen records & docs management is such a fucking huge task because fuckers want it cross referenced 4 different ways... and takes hours & hours to document it all in tabulated data... so, tools were developed to make this task easier.. What method do you use?


This would be so damn simple if they would just allow a file of documents listed by performer name, but nope.. gotta cross X 4 times..

http://www.zei2257.com/ is an affordable one.

$800 puchase + $468 per year maintenance?
Seems a bit excessive & IMO is priced according to high demand & lack of competitive sources

Just use HTACCESS to block all the images from your sites.
Then bend over and kiss your ass goodbye.

Scuse me?

I got my ducks covered

What's $800 compared to all the legal hastle it will save you!

Understandable.. But I was comparing it to the cost of similar products

I like to use a paper bag from McDonalds for record keeping.

We usually stop there on the way to the shoot so I just grad a few doublecheese burg wrappers.

I'm originally from the DVD industry, we've felt the 2257 sting for YEARS :mad: Its not so bad staying on top of it if you make your producers follow your 2257 formats from the start and organize content as it comes in

Hi there Spacedog,

I would like to offer you the opportunity to have a one on one live demonstration of our professional software solution ZEI2257 (zei2257.com) which addresses your 2257 record-keeping requirements.

I think you?ll be pleasantly surprised at how simple we?ve made it for you to keep records, the program has all the features and benefits that are required, including the compulsory cross referencing you mention in your post.

Just to let you know, many industry leaders such as Hustler, Metro Interactive, Danni.com, Naughty America and many other organizations of various sizes and specialties are utilizing our powerful record keeping solution.

We have tried to keep our pricing as low as possible, but the system is comprised of a number of rich features such as on-the-fly document scanning, a reporting system that is capable of exporting information to Excel, Word and PDF plus many other benefits that simply cost a great deal in time and money to develop.

Also, please be advised that some of the ?cheaper? solutions on the market DO NOT even use a database system to maintain their records. In fact one product actually uses Macromedia Director as its engine and a text file for storing data.

One of the most important factors to keep in mind when selecting a record-keeping system is its long-term use. You must maintain these records for a period of up to 7 years from the date of use, even if you remove the content from your website!

I look forward to hearing from you, I can be contacted via email at [email protected] to arrange your demonstration.

Kind regards

Jerusha

You get what you pay for.
ZEI2257 is a top-notch product with great support.
Compared with some of the other expenses that the 2257 changes have caused - in terms of office space for those who used to work out of their homes, computers for record keeping and that office space, and man-hours required to stay in compliance, ALL of this 2257 bullshit is costing most companies (and small operators) a lot more than $800 and a maintenance fee.

And while I'm not a lawyer or pretending to be one - I think it's fair to say that anyone who's done business with the Flynt people knows that if their attorneys chose ZEI2257 as their compliant solution - knows that it's withstood some of the most rigorous legal scrutiny in our industry.

Oh.. thank you, but I only wanted to see what people use..
We'll be releasing a product similar to yours very shortly that's MySQL driven & server based.. should anyone ever get inspected, they give doj the login & they get access to all the records cross referenced in clickable form.. & the best part, it's less than $100

sounds great!.....when will you have it available??!!... hopefully before the 2257 issue is enforceable right?... pm me when you do!:thumbsup

anyone here have or can reccomend a version for mac?

Does zei2257 cross reference urls with the model documents? Do you have to enter in the urls or can it scan/spider your server like another script I've seen mentioned on here?

Web based works with mac :thumbsup

I'll be posting when development is complete..

yes.

you enter the URLs yourself, but there are tools to make it very easy

2257 in the future

Anything out there that is inexpensive, simple and easy to use for secondary producers, i.e. free site webmasters using licensed content?
