So what?  It isn't the difference in studios, etc.  What's important is the KIND of data it is, and studio data is studio data, and aspect ratios are aspect ratios, and so on.  Your argument doesn't hold water.

I don't have to have an argument for anything, Rifter. You are the one who wants to allow something that is not covered by the rules so far and tries to change the rules accordingly.

So you have to bring forward arguments why you think child profiles are needed. So far you did neither convince me nor the majority of voters.

The rules belong to Invelos; Invelos is Ken & Gerri; Ken has said child profiles are OK.  Get used to it.

I've voted for option 3. Option 2 would be ok for me, if disc level profiles will not prevent season level profiles (disc id already in use). And I will not contribute to disc level profiles because I don't care about them.

Of course any decision about that will have to be made by Ken. But this doesn't prohibit this voting so that Ken can see where his clients are standing.

If that doen't hold for you, then QUESTION why not just vhange the wy we handle Boxsets too, since they ARE essential;ly the same, contain similar sata. we don't need the Cover Art, or th cast and crew list(we have dividers), and we don't need o know where the Special Features are.

Skip, let's not get polemic here. Your are intelligent enough to know ANSWER there are vast differences between movie box sets and TV series. Most of the times movies in a box set have completely different aspect ratios, completely different extras, different production years, different studios, different sound tracks, different subtitles, different overviews... Should I go on ? 

All this is not true for series.

And if you aren't intelligent enough to present cogent response to a logical argument don't wate the key oard time. Address the issues of that are indeed  present and have been mentioned. HUH? Don't simply wave off someone else's point because you can't answer it, and it doesn't fit with the way you WANT to do it

Skip

Uh...he directly answered your question with facts. His response is definitive to me. Cast and crew dividers do not solve all -- or even many -- of the differences that movie sets have over TV sets.

No he hasn't he has not addressed the loss of artwork, the lack of ability to pin down where features. Not to mention that Universal put s a separeate UPC# on the TV keep Cases . He has oinly addressed what he wnated to address.

It seems you are looking for a TV answer to a movie question. You asked why movie boxes (parent + children) shouldn't be converted to be like TV sets (parent only). He answered that. What you really want to know is why TV sets can't be treated like movie sets.

TV series and Movie Boxsets share more in common that they do differences.

Skip

LOL, it could be but it's not I have the Boxset. Or is THAT not good enough for you.
You can look in mycollection and see everything there.

Ihave no doubt that eventually universal will relese these as stand alones, but thus far they have not. There is nothing different there than ANY other Boxset, other than Episodic Cast and Crew, that's it. The physical configuration is exactly the same as.....Rocky Boxset. Each keep case has it's own independent artwork, just like Rocky..there is filmed entertainment on the disc...just like Rocky. This particular has set has NO SPECIAL Features...just like many movies have none. So the difference comes down to Episodic Cast and Crew data.

If this is not a Boxset, to accomodate those who want ]Master Profiles . Then why is Rocky a boxset, with dividers we can include all of the Cast and Crew data under the Master Profile...same thing.

Yes you can point at differences in Video and Audio possibly and I can wave that of as unimportant just as you can wave off Artwork as unimportant. The arguments on the Master are not based in any kind of logic, they are based on one thing and one thing only, some users THINK its better and they probably have not even tried the child system. I have tried BOTH, extensively and done a thorough examination of the two procedures, differences and similarities, what is gained versus what is lost, etc. The child system is the best answer and for the moment we are using BOTH.

Been there. Tried that. It didn't work.
