I've got a number of variations for this disc of my set, beginning with the front cover art:

F/A-18 HORNET
anytime...anywhere! (all lower case here)

Back cover middle, large:
F/A-18 HORNET ANYTIME...ANYWHERE! (in all caps, and anytime/anywhere in blue vs grey)

Back cover, bottom ...
F/A-18 Hornet "Anytime...Anywhere!"

The title menu:

Always Ready (not found anywhere else ...)
F/A-18
HORNET
"Anytime...Anywhere..." (no exclamation point, and extra periods ..."

Custom container / case art:
F/A-18 Hornet "Anytime...Anywhere" (no exclamation point)

Then there's the "discs" page ...
Drive: J: (F-18 Hornet)
Side A
Description: F/A-18 Hornet: Anytime...Anywhere

These differences in punctuation, capitalization, different words, etc., etc., is just driving me crazy.

Most of these are irrelevant since we are supposed to use the title from the front cover. Other than that I would suggest using standard capitalisation rules for your language/locality.

The Cover Art

The Main Menu

Isn't "anytime...anywhere..." sort of a tag line?

What's your pick for DVD title?

And for this one:

If you completely ignore what's on the back cover or anywhere else, what's your DVD title for this disc?
Here's the rear cover:


The original submitter used: "Classic Aviation: 1909 - 1924" as the DVD Title, and,
"Classic Aviation DVD01: 1909 - 1924." as the Side A description
I'm guessing this should have been "main feature"??

The Disc art was:

CLASSIC
----------
AVIATION
FILMS

DVD1: 1909 - 1924

----------

The root menu is:
CLASSIC
Aviation Films Vol. 1.

As iPatsa notes, the title must come from the front of the case, so all else is irrelevant.  Also, we use standard capitalization when in all caps.  I would go with:

F/A-18 Hornet: anytime...anywhere!

and

No, there's no distinction for "when in all caps" - instead we use standard title capitalisation, meaning that every word starts with a capital except "joining words" ( such as "of", "the", "a", "in"). As such, the title here should be formatted as:

F/A-18 Hornet: Anytime...Anywhere!"

Good eye... I actually missed he didn't capitalize Anytime...Anywhere. I agree.

Actually, strictly per the Title Rules, the title should be F/A-18 HORNET: anytime...anywhere!

Yea, you're right.  I was going by memory.  I should have gone back and read it.

Per the rules..."Use the default descriptions wherever possible; do not change "Main Feature" to the film’s title."
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
