As we nog have Flemish in DVD Profiler as language, I wonder when we use Flemish, and when we use Dutch. There are a 2 cases:

1. We use Flemish only when it's mentioned on the cover (most Animation pictures)
2. We also use Flemish if the movie/TV series was made in Belgium (dutch speaking part) (eg: Flikken, Witse, F.C. De Kampioenen,...)

What's the opinion of the other people from Belgium and The Netherlands?

Personnaly I prefer only option 1, but it's best to have it discussed before we recontribute (as soon as it's possible of course..)

I think it is pretty straight forward myself: only use Flemish if the cover / DVD menu gives it as a language option.

The (possible) problem with option 2 is that although a film / series was made in Belgium, that does not automatically mean that everyone in the cast speaks Flemish.
For instance in Flikken Boudewijn de Groot appears who speaks Dutch, not Flemish.

If the Dutch don't understand it: Flemish else Dutch ASPE would be Dutch (ABN)

Dutch of course

I think apltm idea is the best
Unfortunately, I can't use DVDprofiler at the moment due to lack of a Windows computer.

I'd go with what the cover or dvd menu says. This way, we are compliant to the rules.

For Profiler 3.5 beta purposes it is a language.

It's a dialect. Seems to be an exception, any other dialects in DVDP 3.5?

That is a political statement!
Portoal:Toale < Weblink (Flemish)
There are dvd's that have Flemisch as an audio option: Chicken Run, Toy Story, ...

What difference, other than semantics, does it make?  If a film has an audio track in Flemish why wouldn't someone want to identify it regardless of if it is a "language" or "dialect?"

I'm very happy that Flemish is in the database now. So we don't have to use 'Other' anymore in the profiles.

Checked the mentioned TV series (Flikken etc.) and all mention Nederlands on the cover (Nederlands gesproken). Rules....

If the DVD lists NEDERLANDS as language, DUTCH should be selected in the profile.
If the DVD lists VLAAMS as language, FLEMISH should be selected in the profile.
