Quoting Devion27:
Picture Editors = Film Editors -> Yes
Head Writer = Writer -> Yes
Title Song and Music Score By = Composer -> Two credits: Song Writer and Composer
Title Song Preformed By = Theme By -> No entry
Created for Televison By = ? -> Created By (but some may disagree here)
Re-Recording Engineer = Sound Re-Recording Mixer -> Technically "Yes", personally I'd enter them only if no "real" SRRM is credited
Title Song By = Theme By -> Song Writer
Music Score By = Composer -> Yes
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

Everything but Title Song Performed By looks OK to me.
My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT.
FACT: Imdb is WRONG 70% of the time! Misspelled cast, incomplete cast, wrong cast/crew roles. So for those who want DVD Profiler to be "as perfect as Imdb", good luck with that.
Stop adding UNIT crew! They're invalid credits. Stop it!

It's OK for television shows, not for films based on television shows (created by).

from the crew section of the rules.
Re-recording Mixer,
Sound Mixing,
Principal Sound Mixer,
Sound Re-recording,
Sound Re-recording Engineer,
Sound Re-recordist,
Dubbing Mixer
= Re-recording Mixer

some may not have the "sound" in front of them but if they are listed within the sound credits, I see no problem.

I agree Picture Editor is fine as 'Film Editor' as long as there is no Film Editor present in the credits.

Picture Editor and Video Editor are two more that I feel should be in the rules table.

Although, having said that, Doctor Who often has both Film Editor and Video(tape) Editor meaning two different things but they're both editing the footage.

What is a Picture Editor? I've just done a google search and nothing comes up - unless you want to count someone who manipulates photographs.

I strive not to add words to roles.
Therefore, 'Picture' precludes the inclusion of this role.

Whereas 'Re-recording Engineer' is within the SOUND section and therefore is linked. If we had a 'Picture' section within the rules and 'Editor' was listed beneath then this entry would be fine. However, we don't have a 'picture' section so we don't include it.
At least that's how I look at this sort of thing.

'Added words' in a role usually mean I leave them out.
For example: On Set Special Effects Supervisor, or Additional Music Score, or Optical Photographic Effects.

The rules are not definitive, and as such I do feel a certain amount of common sense is required; and this is how I decide on these things.
However, as always, if everyone else thinks these roles should be included then I don't have a problem with that. We can start a poll/thread and then ask Ken to put it in the rules chart.

To exclude an entry because the words 'by' or 'original' are included is taking the letter of the rules to the extreme.

As a general rule: if you're unsure, leave them out, works quite well.
