Ken,

1. Can we have a field to include video encoding formats? They would be

MPEG-2
AVC
VC-1

2. The regions for Blu-ray discs are A, B, C, or ABC.

A - North America, Central America, South America, Koreas, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.
B - Europe, Greenland, French territories, Middle East, Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
C - India, Nepal, Mainland China, Russia, Central and South Asia.

3. Someone's already suggested adding audio channels information in addition to different types of advanced audio formats, but may I also request a box for encoding bitrates and formats so that all the information below can be entered.

1.5 Mbps 24bit 96kHz Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 channel

4. Can we get specific case name for Blu-ray and HD DVD discs? Currently most of them are entered as custom.

5. Can we add AR of 2.40 to the list of standard AR since many of the high def discs are labeled this way?

Thanks

I second that, these things would be really nice.

I seem to be right:

H.264/MPEG-4 AVC is the same.

I have one more suggestion on better handling of HD/DVD combo format.

Can we add separator on Special features list to indicate which features are on each side?

Also being able to separate out audio/video/format specs from HD DVD and DVD would be nice, but I can't justify this given that we don't do it for FS/WS double sided DVD or rated/unrated versions on SD DVD.

I would also like to be able to deselect NTSC or PAL.  With High Def movies there is no NTSC or PAL, just 1080P goodness. 
Gotta nip it in the bud, Andy!

We will need at least
- PAL, NTSC, HD 720i, HD 720p, HD 1080i, HD 1080p as screen formats
- DVD-5, DVD-10, DVD-9, DVD-18, HD-DVD 15, HD-DVD 30, BD-25, BD-50, BD-100 as disc formats
and
- Dolby Digital plus up to 13.1 and Dolby TrueHD (lossless) up to 7.1
- DTS HD High Resolution Audio up to 7.1 and DTS HD Master Audio (lossless) up to 7.1
as the new audio formats for HD-DVD and Blue Ray media, perhaps, also different packagings for them.
Best regards,

Mithirandir

I don't seem to be able  to add a Disc ID for my HD DVD disc.

Also, I have both a regular DVD drive and an HD DVD drive on my computer, so I have to go into "Options" to switch from one to the other.  It would be nice if the program could recognize both drives.

I would have another feature request to add specific to blu-rays and HD :

- Would it be possible to add more audio tracks !

Currently there are 8 audio tracks maximum. I just added the Paprika blu-ray and the disc has 9 audio tracks  !

But what will be happend when edited tv shows recorder in pal or NTSC originally? For cinema films PAL or NST will not be used, but for others yes.

I think we need with pal and ntsc, selection posibiliti 24fps.

I did some tests last time this came up, and it is possible to get both a name and a volume ID from a HD-DVD, just not via Profiler - so it looks like it should be possible some time in the future.

You're right also that it would be nice if Profiler "saw" discs inserted in any drive. I have 2 DVD drives and still have to swap them via options.

I don't see why someone would put original NTSC material on a HD-DVD (other than bonus stuff). However, there should of course be a 24p, 25p/i etc. checkbox. But this is not PAL or NTSC anmore, as those mainly refer to the colorspace (chroma/luma) rather than fps.

Correct. Is more exact.

In that case, we need the next video formats
Progresive or Interlacaded.
SD (for old tv shows) or HD in 720 or 1080.
24, 25 or 30 fps. Cinema will be in 24, but old tv shows could be in 25 or 30
