Sure, but the three parts cannot be profiled individually, since they have no (opening and end) credits of their own on the actual DVDs. Again: compare the 2003 3-hour miniseries Battlestar Galactica.

Correct! For DVDP profiling purposes, this is not a TV series.

Technically you're right, of course. There are plenty of profiles without credits, because the source DVD has no credits. But that's not exactly the situation here.

My question to all those who would want to submit child profiles for this particular set would be: what are you going to put in them? (running time might be the only unique info in them...)

And IF you're going to put (cast and crew) credits in them, where are you going to get them from? Copying them from the overall credit lists would be dead wrong, IMO, as that list covers the entire miniseries and not just the part on the disc in question. There is no sensible way to deduct accurate (for that particular disc, that is) credit lists from the overall credits.

So I agree with you: whilst a user may technically have the right to submit child profiles for this set, I can't see the point of doing so, because it will only lead to data duplication (with the one exception of running times per disc).

For DVD Profiler purpose: It is not your decision to call.

Tim is very good at forcing his personal preferences on the database, when he finds a hole he can exploit. He doesn;t bring it to the forums, nor dies he explain it in his notes, he just DOES it. Sorry, Tim, it's TRUE. He has managed on more than one occassion to slip his personal prefernces into the database.

Haven't figured out how he has determined himself to be the ultimate arbiter of the meaning of the Rules but he has.

While I do agree with Tim on this. I don't agree with hims imperius atitude, to the point that he acts ON his own relative to Contributions.

Me and my "imperius atitude", "relative to contributions"? Shall I remind you of a few of the totally incorrect, purely personal preference contributions you currently have pending?! I'd say you're certainly in no position to make (false!) accusations like this, because you're essentially describing every single one of your own recent contributions. Anyway, I suggest we try not to descend into an ordinary mud-slinging match just this once - especially since we actually agree on the issue at hand. I'm sorry if you didn't like the way I put it - since you're much better at that than I am, I'll gladly leave all the "smooth talk" to you. 

I reiterate that I feel that for DVD Profiler purposes, this is not a TV series. For the record: I've carefully re-read the rules on "TV Series", and I see absolutely nothing there that would support splitting this up into child profiles. I'd have thought that the fact that, as others have pointed out, there's basically nothing to actually put IN such child profiles, gives us a nudge in the right direction.

IMHO the key is that it's one feature with one set of opening credits and one set of end credits. Taking that into account, the only thing I see in the rules that actually applies is this line in the "Disc ID's" section: "If a film spans 2 discs, add (Part 1) and (Part 2) to the “Main Feature” description." That seems appropriate, yes, but child profiles? Uh-uh.
