| | Posted: | | | | Terribly sorry if this has been asked before. I went back a few pages, but found nothing, and I tried using the forum's search feature, but the page kept just hanging for a while and then telling me that the timeout had expired?  Anyway, onto my question. In the Contribution Rules, under the "Box Sets" section, it states: Quote:
Create each of these individual profiles in line with the standard Contribution Rules with one exception - Cover Images. If a film is individually packaged, use the cover images from that packaging. I originally understood this to mean that, if the films in the box set are not individually packaged, you should use the set's cover images for each of the seperate film profiles, as well. But then I realized that it might not actually say that, exactly, and my original assumption could be wrong. So, can anyone clarify this for me, please? Do I use the box set's images, or just leave the individual films' covers blank, or...? | | | | Last edited: by Chey |

| | Posted: | | | | Your understanding was correct. For example have a look at the ONLINE covers for Alien Quadrilogy and the attendant children, you will find exactly what you understood.

| | Posted: | | | | Yes, if the individual profiles do not have separate cover art (from a thinpak, keepcase, etc.), you use the cover from the box (the same as the parent profile). |

What you used is the actual Digipak INSIDE the case they are inside. In this case you use the same images as the parent profile... just like Synnerman just said 2 posts above yours. what you are submitting is not allowed. The back 2 isn't even of a cover but the actual discs themselves! | | | | Pete | | | | Last edited: by Addicted2DVD |

| | Posted: | | | | Just so you are completely clear... Individually packaged means there is only 1 Disc per package... this set is not individually packaged. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | The most childprofiles in my database are scanned like this, and it wasnt me who scanned it (not the Hulk scans)  And I like it, because it gives more informations  Should be added to the rules IMHO | | | | Last edited: by nimrod85 |

| | Posted: | | | | Then you have data from users who are not following the Rules, Nimrod. You are free to do whatever you wish locally, that is your buisiness and if YOU like those images then you should use them and maintain them locally.. I think they look horrendous (and that is being kind), but more importantly they don't conform to the Rules.

| | Posted: | | | | I agree with Skip... if you like them... Great! just keep them local and lock your profiles. I personally thought they looked terrible and would hate to see such a thing added to the rules. | | | | Pete |

Yes, but not everybody is thinking that ^^ Doesn't really matter what someone might think - the rules in this instance is clear. What Addicted, Skip and Synner says is 100% correct. If you don't like it - keep it local.. | | | Berak

| | Posted: | | | | When I get around to working on this title myself, I'll probably keep the front cover on the child profiles and replace the back cover with the inside pic for the individual film. But since that is not contemplated by the rules, I will not submit them. |

Yes, but not everybody is thinking that ^^ Nimrod: So what? This is not your private play yard on the Contribution side, we have Rules. Your local is your own little sand box and you can do whatever you like there. Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

Yes, but not everybody is thinking that ^^ I like your idea. In fact Ken allows himself to improve the program, but for some users, improving rules is forbidden... Rules are above everything... even common sense. | | | | Images from movies |
