When dealing with close ratios such as .2.35, 2.39 or 2.40, I think it would be very hard to make any kind of claim that the AR is 2.35 and not the 2.40 claimed on the box, that would very easily fall into the realm of human error.

I have now twice been denied, in the past,  to contribute 2.40:1 when the box said 2.4:1  ..    ?  same thing isn't it??  40 is the same as 4.    not .04  ?/     

I haven't seen the box yet that says 2.4, the industry appears to have made the choice to use numbers to hundredth place. I won't say they aren't out there, terry, but I don't recall seeing one yet. What title would you be referring to.

Here's Four:

Syriana HDD                      upc#012569807921
Phantom of the Opera HDD    #012569809406
2001 HDD ( 2.20:1 - 2.2:1 )    #012569792067
300  HDD -                            #13178223420259

It doesn't matter. For DVD Profiler purposes, you enter it as 2.40:1.

Quite right.  Only a problem if there are roles in the actual credits.

Agreed but, in this case, I got the impressions that he did not want to use the credits...not that the credits didn't have roles listed.

Alright, here is a hypothetical situation.  If the existing profile just had the actors names with no roles.  How would you vote if someone just added the roles per back cover, or just the names and roles of the main characters?

Isn't having some info better than having none, specially when very, very, very few people are going to go through the trouble of copying down the entire screen credits for any movie.

Then you refer to this part of the Rules:-

If an actor is credited by name but does not have an associated role, you may use another source to identify the role. In each case, list Actor’s names and roles (when given) exactly as they are in the credits and in exactly the same order credited.

which is located in the cast section and is the third bullet pointed item.

I didn't get that impression at all. He is after all talking about a US sitcom from the early 90s, and it's very rare for those to have role names in their credits, especially for the main cast.
In that situation I see using the overview on the back cover as more than reasonable for role names, he just needs to specify that there are none in the credits.
