Additionally, rather than BD, I'd like to see BR (as opposed to the longer Blu-ray). No thanks, since the media is called Blu-ray Disc which abbreviates BD. BR doesn't mean anything. | | | | Last edited: by Kulju |

| | Posted: | | | | Like Tim... I knew from the first post that we wouldn't get a consensus on this. Everyone is either partial to their own way... or only has the one way in the collection and sees it as a waste of time to change it to something different now.... having to have all their profiles updated. This is not something that will be consistent in the online database. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | I've never seen "BD" in Disc Description, and I'd never use it.
Media Type "DVD" -> Disc Description "DVD".
Media Type "Blu-ray" -> Disc Description "Blu-ray". | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played. [Ken Cole, DVD Profiler Architect] |

No empty Disc ID's for digital copies whatsoever - note that the program can't read them Why shouldn't Profiler be able to read them? They are either DVDs or Blu-rays with data on it. cya, Mithi | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki |

| | Posted: | | | | I've never seen "BD" used as a description other than in this forum. You can do a google search for "DVD"....now try doing one for "BD".
Most people on the street will know what you are talking about if you say "I bought a DVD as a gift", or even "I bought a Blu-ray disc as a gift", I doubt any will know if you say "I bought a BD as a gift".
....as ever, DVDP has the option to enter data into your local as you see fit. |

... I doubt any will know if you say "I bought a BD as a gift". Well, in France BD is very well known to be a "Bande Dessinée" (Comics), and has never been used for blu-ray.  | | | | Images from movies |

I have a handful, and I keep a "blank" disc in my local, as to identify it as such. I also use the DVDP to Access plugin and I can run queries against my database. I think it is better to have too much information than not enough. | | | HDTV: 52" Toshiba Regza 52XV545U AVR: Onkyo TR-707
