| | Posted: | | | | If TV Movies/Mini-series were made for and aired on television, then yes I would go with the TV rating.
Some DVD releases have MPAA ratings on them for original TV movies/miniseries though, which I guess were submitted to the MPAA after the fact. With those I'd stay with the Film rating... | | | | Corey |

I would just add the rating shown on the cover like the rules specifiy, or are you meaning that there are multiple/conflicting ratings shown on the release? | | | | Corey | | | | Last edited: by Katatonia |

question: do we collect the rating of the movie or do we collect the rating of the total release? How do you mean? Could you give us an example? In the UK if a DVD set contains a collection of discs with different ratings, then by law the entire set has to be rated the same as the highest-rated disc. Is this a similar situation? |

You got the right point northbloke. In Germany for example there are lots of releases with has a higher rating than the main-feature-film has because there is also a higher rated trailer on the disc. | | | regards, Mad -

| | Posted: | | | | I think the Rule is very clear
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
For English profiles, capitalize all words except joining words such as "of", "the", "a", "in", etc. For non-English profiles, use capitalization rules common to the language of the profile, as commonly used for titles. In all cases, the first word will be automatically capitalized in your submission.
In short use the higher rating.

Sounds like the situation I was thinking of. As Corey says, use the rating from the DVD cover, even if the main feature has a lower rating. |

Skip so a Miniseries on DVD which is unrated should become a "NR" and no TV-rating? | | | regards, Mad -
