Just bought a Stephen King Multi-Feature (Rose Red, Desperation, Storm of the Century, Riding the Bullet), UPC (#031398123309) does not exist in the DVD Profiler database so I'm attempting to create the profile for this multi-feaure plus the Child Profiles.  Cannot find an instructional on how to create Child Profiles anywhere.  I find rules but no 'How To' instructionals.  As far as I know this multi-feature has been out for awhile, I assumed it would be in the database but it's not. 

This is a keep case containing the 4 movies on their own discs (Rose Red on 2 discs, Desperation and Riding the Bullet on their own individual discs, Storm of the Century, Part 1 on one side, Part 2 on the other side of a flipper disc.

I haven't the vaguest idea how to create these child profiles.  I'm guessing that I don't add them as separate discs in the Parent Profile, so what do I do?

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!      -kd5-

Thank you.

Sounds like a typical upload to DVDP, only by Disc ID instead of by UPC, but how do I tie them to the Parent profile once they're in there?  Also, I already have Rose Red in my database, with no intention of removing that DVD yet, how would I keep that as well as tie it into the parent profile for this Multi-Feature?

You do it on that screen

You select the profiles in the list and you asign them to the set.

So if you did it as I said I would.

You asign the profile of Rose Red, Desperation, Riding the Bullet and Storm of the Century on that screen and they will be child profiles for your Stephen King set.

For the ones on two discs or two sides you'll do it on that screen



Rose Red : one disc for the first part and another one for the part 2
Storm of the Century : one disc only (part 1 on side A and part 2 on side B)

You will get four empty profiles (except for the disc id and the title) that you will have to create.

Sure but I'm a guy who always do his profiles from scratch, so it's my usual procedure

I've got the discs scanned and tied to the parent profile, now how do I download the profiles for the individual movies?  I've tried several times, DVD Profiler won't download the profile information for the Child Profiles.  This is starting to piss me off.  Nothing should be this much of a pain.  I do NOT want to manually create profiles for the individual movies, I shouldn't have to.  That would be a time consuming pain in the butt.

You mean you people go through this EVERY TIME you create a profile/profiles for a multi feature DVD/BD?

How do I get front/back images for these movies?

It won't, as I wrote yesterday you must create them since they aren't in the database. You can do as Kathy said and use an existing profile as a starting point to decrease the ammount of works needed.

Yes, I don't use the database so everything I own is done by me (I even create manual profiles when two movies are on same dvd side)

By scanning them yourself since they aren't in the database. But you just need to do it for the parent profile and copy it for the children profiles as they share the same box.

I didn't even read your post as offensive so don't worry about that. I know that DVDP can be frustrating sometimes as we have no manual and we never know if we will start a storm by asking a question

I'm always happy to help when I can

Well, I've done as much work on this as I feel comfortable with (which isn't everything, by any stretch).  I have one last question, and this is specific to this DVD.  As far as the title goes, I was going to call this Stephen King Multi-Feature which would be IMHO preferable to having a title like Stephen King's Rose Red/Stephen King's Desperation/Stephen King's Storm of the Century/Stephen King's Riding the Bullet.  If however the rules prohibit my use of the title Stephen King Multi-Feature, then I'll have have no choice but to use the mile-long title.  Here is an image of the cover:

 

If I am to use the mile-long title, would I then use Multi-Feature in the Edition field?

What say you?  (and Thanks!)
