Good morning everyone.  It’s snowing hard outside.  Around this time last year I was at an outdoor barbeque.

Anyway... I’m seeking wisdom, not about the weather but about titles.  I’m just profiling a Box Set.  It consists of two discs in a single keep case and on each disc is a series of shorts.

The keep case sleeve (the parent) has a title “Astron-6”. [790357945993]. 

What titles should I use for each of the disc-level child profiles?  They don’t have their own cases or sleeves, when you play them there’re no special on-screen titles for each collection of shorts that would help differentiate them and even the narrative on the sleeve doesn’t differentiate between them.  The actually discs are labelled “Disc 1” and “Disc 2”.

Is the following the best way to do things, or is there a more acceptable way to do it?

Parent:  "Astron-6"
Disc 1:  "Astron-6: Disc 1"
Disc 2:  "Astron-6: Disc 2"

Thanks  -  Paul
Do you ever find yourself striving for perfection with an almost worthless attempt at it?  Guttermouth "Lemon Water".  Also, I include in my Profiler database VHS tapes, audio DVDs, audio books (digital, cassette and CD), video games (digital, DVD and CD) and 'enhanced' CDs with video tracks on them, as well as films and TV I've bought digitally.  So I'm an anarchist, deal with it.  Just be thankful I don't include most of my records and CDs etc in it too; don't think I haven't been tempted...

That's what I'd do.

I would skip the disc level profile. Probably not the answer you wanted. 

BTW, minus 26 degrees Celcius here last night, how's that compare?

Merely chilly here in NYC; thanks for the perspective.

That is the way I always done similar titles.

Yes, but we get special, 'extra cold' cold, so it's worse.  From the look of the weather map it's your leftovers anyway.  Also we're totally useless at dealing with any level of cold and/or snow in the south east of England; it's supposed to stay on Christmas cards, not actually make a personal appearance.  It was probably no more than 2 centigrade today, which when I factor in the 'useless Brits factor' it come out at much lower than -26.  We just like to talk about weather here, not experience it.
