Hi Guys,

I'm Andy$ from Australia. I just started using DVD Profiler a few days back. I looked at many options, but DVD Profiler was at the top of my list, just above My Movies. I just preferred the look and layout of DVD Profiler, and the fact that it's open to so many additional user options.

I just wanted to find out how some of you long-term users do certain things:

Box sets - How are you applying collection numbers? At the moment I've applied a collection number to the parent with a count of zero. Then no number and count of one to each individual disc. This way I have one number per box set, but my total count will tell me exactly how many actual discs I have in my collection.

For box sets split across say two cases, I make a parent for each case then a child for each disc. This way if I lose the box set "box" or if it gets damaged, I'm left with essentially two cases - so therefore sticking to the principal of one collection number for each case.

I know there's no right or wrong for this, but I just wanted to find out some of the different ways you guys handle box sets.

Combo Packs (Blu-ray & DVD) - At the moment I'm adding these as a single entry with a count of two. I've noticed a couple of combo packs I've loaded from the db come with a parent (for both Blu-ray & DVD), then a child for the DVD. That kind of feels like it's doubled-up on the DVD. How are you guys entering combo packs?

I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions along the way, but these two are the ones I've been debating over the most. Any input would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Andy.

Thanks Blair. It's great to be a part of the DVD Profiler community! I like the way you do your TV box sets. It's a neat & tidy way to catalogue them and you've got the Disc Info there anyway.

Appreciate your feedback.

Welcome. Don't forget to edit your profile and your country location so you have a little Aussie flag under your name on the forums :-)

There are a few Aussie's floating around here but most of them are very quiet. Feel free to try and make them talk!  Annoy them as much as possible! As to your box set numberIng, sounds good. With me, no matter what I do with my collection I am always out by 1. I have no idea how, it just seems to happen no matter what I do.
