Creating a unique ID would not be difficult.  One simple way would be to use DiscID plus "Title #" which is the order in which they appear on the DVD menu.  If we accept discID as unique then adding a unique numberic subidentifier at the end will also be unique.

But how do you propose we search for these when adding them to our collection?
For example, do you forsee the "add by disc" window ignoring the title number and bringing up all titles that include that disc ID? Because at the minute that screen latches on to the first profile it finds even when there are multiple localities involved.
And how do we cater for those who don't want title-level profiles - cos you know there will be some who don't want this!

Sometimes design and useability aren't always the same thing, so comments on how it works shouldn't necessarily be restricted to programmers.

I say this from several years experience working with programmers. 

But you're right a feature request is just that, but as this is a one man programming band it doesn't hurt for people to suggest designs etc...

Ok.  My turn. 

Experience with the product has nothing to do with it.  The point is either valid or it's not.  In this case, dav4is has a good one.

DVDProfiler is a good application, but it is NOT perfect and it's rediculous to leap down a newbies throat for pointing out areas where the product could be improved.  This IS the feature request section.

Dividers were a nice interim measure, especially for TV shows but they don't really cut it for handling multiple films per disc side.

BUT.... we should be able to assign cast, crew, overview, running length, rating, genre, etc for each title.  Right now all we can do is assign all of the cast and crew to the profile and use dividers to tell who is in which "title". 

What we have now does not allow for filtering at the "title" level, the running length is flat out useless on such discs and when there are conflicting genres or ratings you're simply out of luck.  Right now our only options are to use manual profiles which removes the ability to contribute and share these profiles or to accept the limitations of the divider system.

Finally, I would like to wholeheartedly second his request.  With the increasing numbers of multi-title discs out there I would like to see a better way of handling it than we have.

When you add crew or cast in the edit window you have these buttons:

Assign

Remove

Replace

Add divider

you can use this to divide epsiodes:
in the Rules under TV series credits you can find: 8><

I thought so.

Pretending that one title is three, and separating the cast & crew with so-called separators is not a realistic solution. IMO, it is a patch, a stop-gap.

If a disc can have 3 titles -- or 30 titles -- per side, each should be accessible in the same way as single works recorded one to a side. Lumping them all together with gimmicky separators and such is just that: gimmicky.

My name is dav4is and I approved this opinion.

Why don't you make a manual ID for each movie on a DVD disc and hang that as a child profile in the main profile. All you have to do is download the available title from the online use the clone plugin and presto your done each disc has its separate movie profile.
