As I have explained in this post, the ratings (eg. PG, R) for each locality are mapped to an internal rating level (1 - 5).

For the display of your Online Collection, profiles with an internal rating level of 5 are considered "adult" titles, and are hidden if you choose that option.

In addition, profiles are considered "adult", if they have the "Adult" rating, or if they have the "Adult" genre. The NR rating is *not* considered as "adult".

Does this means an addition of a possible '9' rating is not possible because it will push the '16' rating to level 5 and makes it an "Adult" rating (which it isn't)?

If this is true I guess the only way to support this new Dutch rating would be to rename rating '12' to '9/12' just like the Finnish ratings '13' and '15'.

We are so much different in the Province of Quebec than the ROC

You mean Republic of China, as in Taiwan? What's the difference then? 

ROC = Rest of Canada

This is an abreviation that we use commonly here, just forget that not everyone here are Canadian.

The UK is also missing a rating: R18 which is used exclusively for hardcore pornographic films.

If we're going to get picky over the BBFC ratings, they have Uc, U, PG, 12A, 12, 15, 18, R18.

To fit it into 5 ratings, you can group them as Uc/U, PG, 12A/12, 15, 18/R18

For the past few months (I don't know the exact date it went "live"), we have a new classification system here in Switzerland for DVDs. All the distributors agreed to follow a code of conduct (German and French only, sorry) which defines eight levels : 0+, 6+, 7+, 10+, 12+, 14+, 16+, 18+.

As each "pair" of level has a specific color code (see this document for reference, PDF in French), I'd propose the following mapping to the five levels of DVD Profiler:

Quote:

  <Locality Unk='2' Code='22' Name='Switzerland'>
    <Rating Code='1' Name='0+'/>
    <Rating Code='2' Name='6+/7+'/>
    <Rating Code='3' Name='10+/12+'/>
    <Rating Code='4' Name='14+/16+'/>
    <Rating Code='5' Name='18+'/>
  </Locality>

Like the previously mentioned Australian "X", this is covered by the generic "Adult" rating available in all localities.

Except, of course, that "R18" is adult and "18" is not adult. An 18-rated movie (such as Fargo, or Schindler's List) should not be hidden by default, whereas an R18 movie should.

France:

there are officially 9 levels in France

1) tout public (all audience)
1bis) tous publics, avec avertissement (all audience with warning)

2) interdit aux mineurs de moins de 12 ans (12 years old or above)
2bis) " avec avertissement

3) interdit aux mineurs de moins de 16 ans (16 years old or above)
3bis) " avec avertissement

4) interdit aux mineurs de moins de 18 ans (18 years old or above)

5a) film classé X, porno, interdit aux mineurs de moins de 18 ans (X rated for pornographic contents, 18 years old or above)
5b) film classé X, violence, interdit aux mineurs de moins de 18 ans (X rated for violent contents, 18 years old or above)

(source : http://www.cnc.fr/Site/Template/A2.aspx?SELECTID=18&ID=19&t=3 )

(there is actually a -13 rating, which has been used only once)

the -18 rating is for movies which content is considered suitable for viewers of 18 only, but are not X rated. According to the above link, movies like "Baise moi", "Ken Park", "9 songs", but also "Saw III" have been rated -18.

note the two X ratings : for porn or "incitation à la violence", (but only one movie has been rated X for violence according to that db)

---- Edit ------
So, if I guess it right, the data should be
<Locality Unk='2' Code='8' Name='France'>
  <Rating Code='1' Name='U'/> (I guess 'U' stands for 'Universel'?)
  <Rating Code='2' Name='12'/>
  <Rating Code='3' Name='16'/>
  <Rating Code='4' Name='18'/>
</Locality>

The file format has changed and is now called localities.xod.

Now Mexico looks like:

<Locality Description="Mexico" ID="25" DVDRegion="4" BDRegion="A">
<Ratings Description="Film" ID="0">
<Rating LegacyValue="1" Name="AA" Description="AA" Age="1"/>
<Rating LegacyValue="2" Name="A" Description="A" Age="10"/>
<Rating LegacyValue="3" Name="B" Description="B" Age="13"/>
<Rating LegacyValue="4" Name="C" Description="C" Age="17"/>
</Ratings>
</Locality>

Based on your info, I'm guessing that Ken will add:

<Rating LegacyValue="5" Name="B-5" Description="B-5" Age="15"/>

and some of the other Age values would change, I think.
