| | Posted: | | | | the rules arent as clear as they should be in my opinion:
Rating
Use the Rating shown on the DVD cover. When there is no rating, or an unrated version of the film on the disc, use the NR rating. Use the “Adult” rating for all Adult films.
Enter rating details as shown, excluding the rating itself and trailing period. e.g. "Rated R for sci-fi violence and brief language." is entered as "Sci-fi violence and brief language". Obtain the rating details in order of preference from:
DVD case, usually on the bottom rear
Rating page displayed on-screen
Filmratings.com, or the equivalent region-specific ratings information website
so shouldnt the rating details be capitalized if its that way on the case? |

| | Posted: | | | | Just the first letter of the first word gets capitalized. But you don't have to worry about how you type it... as Ken added a filter to put it in the format he decided on. | | | | Pete |

Not with all languages you can simply capitalize the first letter and make the rest small. German for example, all nouns get capitalized. | | |

This is simply for display purposes. I am curious about one thing. You say all nouns are capitalized. If I write, "John took the glass of water and put it on the table," the words glass, water and table would all be capitalized? | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

As Unicus stated it isn't about any of the rules of writing in any language. It is no more then how the data is displayed in the field... at least for the main database. You could format it however you like locally and then lock it with the ratings lock. (Yes I tested this) | | | | Pete |

It's more readable if only the first word is capitalized. Are you suggesting its not readable on the cover? |

| | Posted: | | | | just seems funny to me the rules state it has to be exactly as listed on the cover for such as: Use the title from the front cover,Use the Running time specified on the DVD cover,List the Region(s) shown on the cover, but not the ratings..I dont get it?? |

| | Posted: | | | | I personally feel that it should be exactly as the cover so that it ties in with other rules. |
