ofdb,de would be a third party database.


Per rules you are only allowed to take cast and crew credits from the actual credits on the screen. Other then uncredited cast which you need to document well that they are in the show.... more then one source. And no uncredited crew allowed what so ever.

A third party database is anything but the disc itself, hence the reason it was declined. You need to copy (or at least visually verify) that the cast is correct (ie. matches the on-screen credits) and state this in your contribution notes.

As noted already. PLEASE review and follow the Rules, then re-contribute.

Yepp, there we have the problem.
Contributable and valid data for DVDProfiler is only the DVD itself. Means: you'd have to watch the endcredits and give as a source the DVD itself.
The other possibility is (for new profiles) to copy the data of an alredy accepted profile and give as a source the UPC of the already accepted profile.

All other sources like ofdb, imdb, etc. are invalid for legal (copyright) and other reasons.

Thank you for your answers. My English is not so good that I understood what is meant with the "third party database".
But now I understand it and will check the cast and send a new contribution.

Apologies, I never noticed that part of the post. Good eyes, Tom.

Just to try and expand on Tom's post:

1st party is something that was directly involved with the film. So the contents of the DVD is 1st party.

2nd party is something that wasn't directly involved, but is still connected to the film. So films studios, distributors, making of featurettes can all be classed as 2nd party.

3rd party is something that has had no involvement with the film. So things like film databases, online shops, film reviews are all 3rd party.

When looking for sources of info for your profile, always go for 1st party, then only if that doesn't contain the info you need, go for 2nd party. And only when that fails can you go to 3rd party, but you must list a few different matching sources before this info will be accepted.

Hope this helps.

Just out of curiosity from a non-native English speaker:
I always thought, that when dealing with software (like DVD Profiler), the first party is the developer/company which programmed the software. The second party is the user of the software. And third party is everything else like other websites. Isn't it so?
