| Posted: | | | | On the Spine is written Multi-Feature (at the top), then Stephen King's Rose Red/Stephen King's Desperation/Stephen King's Storm of the Century/Stephen King's Riding the Bullet.
I suppose I'll have to use the mile-long Title. Should I include Multi-Feature in the Edition field? | | | Time is the fire in which we burn. (Soran) | | | Last edited: by kd5 |

| Posted: | | | | Looks like you won't have any other choices, but to use the long title.
Multi-Feature: Stephen King's Rose Red/Stephen King's Desperation/Stephen King's Storm of the Century/Stephen King's Riding the Bullet
Personally I wouldn't use the edition field for that.
BTW, does the title field have enough place to write a long title like that? | | | Last edited: by Jimmy S |

| Posted: | | | | I'd rather not use Multi-Feature in the title if I don't absolutely have to. Actually there is precedent for using it in the Feature field, as evidenced by the existence of other Editions such as: 2-Movie Collection, Double Feature, Double Feature 2-DVD Set, DVD Double Feature, Family Double Feature, Horror Double Feature, Midnite Movies Double Feature, Triple Feature DVD Set, etc., and more are created as the need arrises. I'll contribute what I have and see how it goes... Thanks everyone for all your help, it is VERY MUCH APPRECIATED... -kd5- | | | Time is the fire in which we burn. (Soran) |

| Posted: | | | | IMHO Multi-Feature is not part of the title. It would be put in the edition field if anything. I know it is hard to tell which stuff goes in the title field vs. the edition field on a lot of releases... I am struggling with several of those myself. | | | Pete |

The screeners had the last word on the new contribution and if they approve it without "Multi-Feature" this is how it is. But you'll miss the chance to have a 134 characters titles in the database Not that it is that short without the "Multi-Feature: " part |

| Posted: | | | | One more question (now that I've already contibuted the profile):
When you create a parent profile with children, once all the profiles have been created, if you contribute the parent, do the children tag along for the ride? Or do you have to contribute the parent, then each of the children?
Thanks! | | | Time is the fire in which we burn. (Soran) |

| Posted: | | | | Quoting kd5: Quote: Or do you have to contribute the parent, then each of the children? They are 5 (in your case) individual profiles that have to be contributed on their own. The only association between them comes from the Boxset-data of the Parent. cya, Mithi | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki |

| Posted: | | | | Quoting kd5: Quote: Thanks Mithi, Child Profiles contributed as well. My my, I hope I don't have to do this very often... It gets MUCH MUCH easier. I'd say a good third of the blu-rays I buy in Canada are not in the system under the UPC on the package. So I have to create it from a US or Quebec profile and make the unnecessary changes. If it's straightforward the total time it takes is usually 10-15 minutes and that includes doing the cover scans. With this one I think I probably could have done it 15-25 minutes, barring any issues. I kow the first ones I contributed took much much longer.. but once you get the hang of it and know what to do it doesn't take a lot of time. | | | HDTV: 52" Toshiba Regza 52XV545U AVR: Onkyo TR-707 Speakers: Paradigm Monitor 7 v6, CC-190 & Atom Monitors Subwoofer: Definitive Technology ProSub 800 BD/DVD: Oppo BDP-93 (Region Free) HD PVR: Motorola DXC3400 500GB w/ 1TB Expander BD/DVD/Game: 250GB PS3 Slim DVD/Game: 250GB XBox 360 Elite Special Edition (Black) Game: Wii Remote: Logitech Harmony One w/ PS3 Adapter WHS: Acer H341 Windows Home Server |

At least they aren't foreign films were you must have a translator open to get the jobs corectly listed... By foreign I mean in a language I don't talk, so everything who isn't french or english is foreign for me (I've lost most of the spanish I've learned when I was at the university). | | | Last edited: by Jimmy S |

| Posted: | | | | Never created one before but it's complicated when there are 4 movies on each disc. I don't entirely understand the rules saying that is a box set. To me a box set could be Star Wars with all 6 movies (original series) on individual discs. Vs 4 different movies on each disc. ie I'm trying to Add 2 discs , Child Profiles which I've done thanks to this discussion to 8 Movies for The Man Cave and the only reason I have it is for Drew's film version for Amy Fisher. At this rate I might just see if they've release it as a single movie because I'm not sure if I'll watch the other 7 movies , it does seem (ol Echo Bridge) to have UPC's on each disc. I'm just so busy I never get in here and only way I found this was thru a search engine , not via the search for invelos help. This is an old trick I learned from another site | | | Temper sometimes gets the best of me. Best to ignore myself and move along. :O Do'h |
