I would like to thank bx5=0 for another discussion that gets the community arguing back and forth.
Didn't your dad every tell you about sleeping dogs. It's a very valid thread IMO. |

| | Posted: | | | | Yes it's a valid question but rendered invalid because of who asked it. For this reason your feature request thread is way more valid and usefull than this thread created to stir shiitake mushroom. |

How can it be a valid question? when the correct answer doesn't fit into the available aspects. It's just like the multiple film collections on 1 disc that have different aspects of w/s you click widescreen and no ratio. |

How can it be a valid question? Because bbbbb would like to know the best way to proceed. Leave it blank? Put one of the ratios? Geez. Ever heard of the saying that if you're unsure about something, then there is no such thing as a stupid question? Better to ask and feel stupid than not ask and never know? Better to discuss than blindly guess? Guess not. |

| | Posted: | | | | I don't think there can be a correct answer for this - I wonder if there are a lot of DVDs that do this.
Invelos needs to fix it so that both can be noted - such as when a movie has WS and P&S.
Until then should we treat it like we do with other situations when we take the longer version?
bbbbb has asked a valid question - one that I don't believe can be answered. |

Better to discuss than blindly guess? Guess not. The procedure of leaving it blank has been in the sysytem since I joined in 09. Why the hell would it be different now, when there has been no rules change or a decision from ken on taking the highest percentage ratio if a film has mutliple. |

bbbbb has asked a valid question - one that I don't believe can be answered. It would be a valid question if I thought he had any intention of using the results to vote or contribute. But he has shown that he doesn't once he gets a 5 page answer. So in my opinion he is an instigator. (Calling out votes by posting pics) | | | | Last edited: by ateo357 |

Can you show me the rule that tells you how to enter multi-aspect ratio movies that are not boxsets? I'm not sure I'm looking in the right place... |

| | Posted: | | | | Direction to the rule could also be handy for the 75%+ people who voted for an aspect ratio. Thanks in advance. |

Can you show me the rule that tells you how to enter multi-aspect ratio movies that are not boxsets? I'm not sure I'm looking in the right place... Never said it was a rule. Just seemed to be the procedure. Many of the multi-movie sets I have with 2 or movies on 1 side of a disc have no aspect ratio other than widescreen ticked & that's downloaded from the database. Show me the rule or Ken's forum decision stating that the highest percentage of 2 different aspect ratios should be used. The database is not set up for multiple widescreens on the same disc or in the same movie. So the 75% that voted a definite ratio are wrong. It may be a majority decision by poll but it is still incorrect. If it is something the majority wants they find a way to shoe-horn it in. If it's something that the majority doesn't want then it strictly by the rules. |

First you say it's not a rule, then you follow it up by saying it's wrong because some people choose differently to you. | | | | Last edited: by Parsec |

I'm not saying I disagree with you but there is no rule there and because of this the correct way to deal with it is open to interpretation. Quote:

As a side note, I agree with you for how it should be online. I've only stated what I would do locally. Until there is a proper rule in place, either way could be seen to be somewhat correct and I wouldn't vote no to either option. | | | | Last edited: by samuelrichardscott |
