| Posted: | | | | I recently came across a profile for an MGM Midnite Movie double feature. Now personally, I had been handling mine as single disk releases and utilizing the divider for cast and crew stuff. The profile in question chose to handle the release as a boxset and then child each side of the disk itself to handle the feature information. I feel silly calling a single disk a box set, but I can see why that might be appealing to some folks. Is there a general consensus on how we handle these? If I'm wrong it looks like I'll have to adjust a couple of my submissions. edit: Apologies for not posting this as a question in the subject line. | | | Last edited: by mdnitoil |

| Posted: | | | | If you checked the boxset rules you would see... Rules Quote: Quote: The term "Box Set" is used to define any release that includes more than one film. The main examples are:
* Sets where each film is packaged individually, and held together in a package of some kind. * Sets where each film is on a separate disc, but not individually packaged. This includes gatefold Digipaks and 2-Disc sets in normal DVD cases. * Sets containing 2 films, one on each side of Dual-Sided DVD. So as you can see it not only a consensus... but a Submission Rule. | | | Pete |

| Posted: | | | | For the online contribution, you would handle this by using the box set rules. Quote: The term "Box Set" is used to define any release that includes more than one film. The main examples are:

| Posted: | | | | After I learned about this rule, I submitted all my box set disc sides into my database and found only about half of them are done correctly (or at all). All of the "blank" sides make my collection look a bit messy, so I can see how we all need to be on the same page to keep DVD Profiler 3 enjoyable.
Even at this moment, there are submissions in the database that list multi-disc movie box sets as one parent entry only. Others recently got voted in (because of the voting owners of those titles). So that means more work that must be un-done in order for the database to (hopefully, someday) be consistent. |

I know; I Voted No on one just the other day and this is obviously why voting is important (and not something to be ignored just because the majority of updates at the moment are CoO )... I can't do anything about ones I don't own! | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong | | | Last edited: by Voltaire53 |
