Multiple Scripts at one time

Hi I have a question.. for one thing my harddrive crashed and my movie database got deleted, so I have a question to try and make the recreation of my database FASTer.

Previously what I did was create the list of movies, then run the IMDB.com script for all of these movies. I did it for every field except picture. Then I had to go back and run the Amazon.com script for ONLY pictures. This is because IMDB's pictures are too small, I am using this catalog for my home theatre PC, so I need big pictures.

My question is , is there a way to combine scripts, (i.e. Can I have a script that grabs information from IMDB and then ONLY a picture from Amazon?) This way I will only have to run a script once for each movie.

Thanks, i apologize if this is a duplicate question.

Currently there is no way to combine automatically two scripts, but even if it was possible it would not be faster than running the two scripts manually.

The current IMDB script has in its picture options the possibility to get picture from merchandising & dvd info page: most of the time on these page there is a picture from Amazon. So it will probably allow you to do all with IMDB script.

OK thanks for your help. I didn't realize there were options for each script. I'll give it a shot.
