Just want to check in case i have missed something i have just contributed a profile for one of these disc's has i don't have a HD player yet i contributed all the info from the DVD side i have got a no vote saying that we don't profile the DVD side only the HD DVD side is this right? i would have thought that you profile the entire disc not just one side or should you treat it like a box set and create a separate profile for the DVD side using the disc ID.

After a lot of "combo problems" over at IVS (differences between the HD and DVD sides in terms of audio, subs, features, and regions) people eventually agreed upon setting the HD side, which is the main reason 95% of the people buy the disc, as the "master."

Ninehour's contribution ended up being a "mix" of both sides which is the consistency problem people mentioned in the first place...

For reference:

pplchamp: Personally, I would use the UPC for the HD DVD side and the disc ID data for the DVD side. The DVD would be a child to the HD version.

lyonsden5: Not a bad Idea Erik. Creating 2 separate profiles for these releases would take care of many issues.

skipnet50: Sounds like a plan, Erik

floyd-x: I also think that this is a great idea.

bob9000: Seems like a sound compromise to me as well.

Peter von Frosta: Agreed

skipnet50: I think the best answer is in this thread but was NOT covered by the poll.

"Personally, I would use the UPC for the HD DVD side and the disc ID data for the DVD side. The DVD would be a child to the HD version."

So HD DVD Combos would have TWO profiles, one for the HD and one for the DVD, the HD gets the UPC and DVD gets the Disc ID and is set up as a child.

Voltaire53: FWIW this seem like it's by far the best idea to me as it helps separate the data for those who can only play the DVD side but are buying the HD DVD version for future use when their equipment allows.

Since then, this has become the "standard" for combo discs...

So for the "Parent" do we uncheck DVD from the media type, also do we leave the case type and edition field blank for the DVD profile.

Wouldn't think so... still a combo disc so that would only be misleading and open it up for ping-ponging... IMO.

To be honest, Nick, you are the first person to my knowledge who ever bothered with a DVD child profile for a combo disc.

* Edition, if the DVD cut is the "Unrated and Unprotected" one - leave it.
* Case type, well it does come in the "HD Slim" case...

The main things to change would be: The region (DVD side is regionally encoded), audio tracks which differ a lot from the HD side, same with the subs.  And anamorphic, since HD disc are not (native 16x9).

Agree with Erik. It's the nature of a profile that it can't profile both HD and DVD content in one profile without rendering the combined information rather useless. The DVD format box does have value so that one can filter for HD DVD and DVD Combos, but aside from that, any DVD-specific info that's entered in the HD DVD profile really mucks things up (regions, video and audio formats are all different and incompatible, for example).

I've never checked to see if there were Disc ID profiles for the DVD side as I don't personally care to track it, but you could create one as a child profile to the master HD DVD profile if you wish.

Bill:

Likely initially just the DVD side, I am planning on a combo unit...once the prices come down some more. Maybe Xmastime, I suspect they will be down around $700 by then.
