Stop singling me out Skip - I'm sick and tired of your insulting remarks directed to me.

I'm not "throwing mud on the wall", "raping the database" or doing any of the other nasty comments you like flinging my way.

I am neither "squirming" and not bothered by the fact that you don't agree with me.

I am expressing my opinions. They are mine, I own them and I don't feel any need to apologize for discussing things in a polite, respectful way.

No one should ask for or expect an apology for respectfully expressing a difference in opinion.

Apologies are called for when disagreement becomes nasty. These are the things that I would apologize for:

When insults such as calling someone "idiots" or "stupid" are posted.

Or, telling someone they are "raping the database".

Or making unfounded insulting and statements such as "damage that some users have done to both the rules and the online with absurdity."

But, I didn't say those things Skip - you did and not once did you say "I'm sorry" or "I was wrong"

You don't have the right to demand of others what you refuse to do yourself.

If an issue were clear and easily understandable, then it wouldn't be brought up time and time again.

It is not necessary to "beep repeatedly".

Demands, harassment and insults are not the way to get me to see things differently.

In fact, it makes me dismiss anything you say as having any relevance.

You might want to direct your comments to the many other community members who do not agree with you on this topic.

Of course if you talk to them the way you talk to me you might find them as  unreceptive to your "help" as I do.

We clearly do enter some info from the DVD in combo packs. We enter the media type and disc ID, obviously. Everyone accepts that the rule "use the details from the HD media in the main profile" doesn't apply to every field. The question is which fields it does apply to.

Agreed, and the HD Data is that it is non-anamorphic.

A Blu-ray is non-anamorphic like a radio play is not in color. An anamorphic field on a blu-ray shoudl be N/A, not no. For a plain Blu-ray, it is N/A. Combo packs were specifically programmed to give us the option.

Tian you are 60% correct why would younit include bothe video and audio as it pertsains to the "parent". It willl apply to the bd and be different from the DVD child.

Actually, I am 100% correct.  Perhaps I wasn't as clear as I intended but I was talking about the video and audio of the DVD.  What I meant was, we include the extra features from the DVD, in the main profile, but not the specific details...video, audio, etc.

Quote:
And btw your reference to condescension is in your imagination, not factual.

No, my statement, that the condescending and patronising comments are not needed is, in fact, factual as they are not needed.  The only way my statement is not factual is if you believe they are needed...which I hope you don't.

Quote:
Since your reference was probably aimed at me I think I know a but more about it than thew, maybe a small touch of sarcasm.

My statement was a general one aimed at everyone...myself included.  If it were aimed at you, I would have been quite clear about that.  As you know, full well, I don't mince words.

But then I am not one who is pretending that a very clear rule us not clear, it causes some wonderment and some very interesting questions come to mind but I won't go there.

While I don't see how it is unclear, I don't believe anyone is pretending...at least I hope not.

Btw kathy i have not called anyone either stupid or an idiot.  Those are your words of choice,not mine.

Here are few threads to remind you of exactly how you talk to people. Of course some of your worse posts were so offensive the moderators stepped in and removed them:

Please pay special attention to the last two. You fought long and hard to prove that your opinion was right. You weren't - Ken said so.

You demanded that I admit when I was wrong and admit I made a mistake in this thread - which I did - I would ask that you do the same for those.

Edit: It seems that I wasn't wrong after all - I wonder if Skip will publicly apologize to me for all the derogatory comments he made to and about me in this thread.

The rule about using the data from the HD came out of discussions of conflicting data. The program design and common sense make it impossible to take it as a blanket statement. Otherwise, you end up with the diea that you shouldn't check DVD as a medium because you are supposed to get data from the HD disc.

I honestly don't know how anybody would end up with that idea as the rule, quite clearly, states that you are supposed to check all included media types. 

The rule, as written, tells us to tick all media types...so that we know it is a combo disc...but only include the details from the HD media.  I understand that you don't think it makes sense, but please don't tell that isn't what it says.

The rules also say to enter anamorphic DVDs as anamorphic. The question is which rules override what. However, that was snark than a serious argument. I'll grant you this point. What about disc IDs, though. Does anyone hold that this rule means you shouldn't enter the disc ID of any DVDs in a combo pack on the main profile?

. I hope in the future you will leave snark off the forums, it is st the very least in poor taste.

I am not surprised you being snarky. That snarkiness on your part caused a major argument and hurt feelings on several parts. I hope it was worth it to you, please keep the snark out of the forums. If you can't it will become hard to take what you say seriously.

Now as to disc is question, the disc is should reside only with its appropriate profile. We do not treat the combos as a true parent child system. Boxset rule does not apply in any way.

Oh one other thing I notice that everyone was paying so much attention to a user's snarky behavior and anothers rather vicious attacks on me, yes vicious., that my request for a serious discussion went ignored, I am still willing to listen but I am not going to repeat the request, I have done so at least twice now. If you want to discuss I am willing.
