GSyren - did you download the movie to see what I was talking about?

This film has 3 DVDs, each in their own individual cover. Are you telling me that we do not enter these?

I went through the rules twice and don't see any that supports your view. Please show me the rules that supports your viewpoint.

Like I said, it's not specifically mentioned in the rules, but I think it's obvious if you read between the lines.

If it's not allowed to create a child for bonus materials for a single film in a boxset, why should it be allowed to do so for a non-boxset? And - if you do create children, then you are in effect creating a box set.

I'm not sure how this thread turned to Box Set rules. That is totally off topic. My question only dealt with Original Title data.

Please start another thread for any other issues because it gets confusing when we start discussing other data and rules that cover that off topic data. Thank you.

You are asking how to enter data into a profile that should not exist. There can be no answer to that.

No I am not. I have a single film that has 3 individual discs. Box Sets are a completely different - that is why invelos' has added a special section to the Rules to address that fact.

Are you saying that one should ignore the fact that there are 3 discs and only enter 1 and ignore the other 2?

I have read the rules and I don't see where you can prove your point except under Box Set rules which does not apply so we will need to agree to disagree.

I will read any further comments and thoughts on this thread but I think it is a waste of time for me to continue to address the matter.

No I am not. ...

... how is the field named, where you link the child profiles to the parent?

I did not accuse you - or anybody - personally; I just wanted to point out, that you are in fact talking about a box set, an illegally created box set as othes pointed out before. and therefore I have to agree, that the initial question can not be answered by the rules, because the whole contribution is not covered by the rules...

But acknowledging the fact that one of the major impacts of the original titles is the matching of titles for the CLT, I'd like to come back to my first answer:

I don't know about any discussion about this issue, but the first variant breaks the CLT. Therefore I'd prefer the second one...

... which, after the duscussion and realizing the fact that there exists no rule to contadict, I'd postulate more specific: Including the Disc number for this profiles is not covered by any rule and therefore invalid.

Now we could open the can of worms by discussing, if a little bit less illegal is better than a little bit more illegal, but do we want to?

If a given release I purchase includes more than one disc I always create a profile for the given release as a whole, then profiles for each individual disc.  I do this for a number of reasons.  Among them is the fact that it allows for using individual cover art for each disc if I want, having an individual "History" for each disc, i.e. "Events" (Borrowed, Returned, Watched), the ability to "Tag" individual discs in addition to being able to sort the "Collection List" by certain columns such as "Last Watched" or filter by certain criteria, and to do so all the way down to the disc level.

To each his own, but I find maintaining this structure quite advantageous.  That being said, the Contribution Rules can define a box set how ever it likes.  If I make a contribution I'll ensure it complies with the rules.  Locally I do as I please.  I have no desire for my local database to be a mirror image of the shared online database and could care less what the "collective" decides on with respects to the Contribution Rules.  I've been backing up my local database regularly since this product was first made available and have never needed to restore my collection from whatever Invelos Online Collection I might have in place.  When I download a profile I lock it down and make it my own.  Done deal.  As I said though, to each his own.
