So I bought and contributed a full profile after an hour of editing and providing much need info to a new release of the Hobbit  upc ( canada ) # 794043-165115 I contributed all the following:
-"major changes I have discovered and contributed today, / New Zealand production / case type changed / studios changed / no commentary /no deleted scenes / no interviews / blue ray is not anamorphic / third disc is anamorphic / Portuguese audio 5.1 detected by powerdvd10 / overview as per rear jacket English only / disc info all three discs / cast and crew as per rear credits / new upscaled scans "

I get this response back -
Sorry but as per rules scan must be made with slip cover if existing, as this is the case I have to say no, however there's other good corrections please contribute them if you want. Also I still think this is a co-production US/NZ.

Fair enough  but if you really want that skip cover you would get this:




instead of This: ( my contributed )



I feel that in a case like this  go ahead vote it in with a Yes / and let some else put another  ''clean'' slip cover in with no stickers .. I not only would use this  slip cover they want ( I like to toss them) .. but will not damage the cover by pulling his stickers off ...

Agree ??

The statement that "per rules scan must be made with slip cover if existing..." is incorrect. The user needs to read the guidelines in their totality.

You can most certainly contribute only scans of the Keep Case as long as it is not replacing a Slip Cover Scan.

If someone later contributes a scan of the Slip Cover that would of course then override your Keep Case Cover.

But, it is incorrect to say that one "must" replace a Keep Case scan with a Slip Cover.

There are films that are originally released without a Slip Cover, then re-released with one.

In those situations, the rules would dictate that the Slip Cover would not override the Keep Case Cover.

Agree, exept my contribution was made with the slip cover before. As far as the COO I don't agree, it could change anytime it depends who puts the money.

Which seems to be the case here.

I just checked, and scans of the Slip Cover (pretty good ones) are already in the profile (according to his response, I'm assuming Joe63 contributed them). widescreenforever seems to be trying to replace those slip cover scans with the keep case scans.

In this case, I'd vote no along the lines with the no vote posted in this thread. If the slip cover scans are already present (and as I said, pretty good ones), there's no reason to replace them with keep cover scans, and in my understanding, that is against the rules.

Sorry widescreenforever, I do believe the no vote is correct in this case and you should leave the covers as they are and contribute the rest of your info to the profile.

CoO I agree should be US/NZ.

WingNut is based in NZ and it's the film's production company. No reason not to have NZ listed as a CoO on the profile.

most if not all slip covers are a high glossy aluminum look to it and to the average scanner at 600 dpi,  they look washed out or very dark/black in look.. I'd rather have a nice look to the cover.. as you can see fro my two scans the slip cover is not as nice in looks as the inner case..

Not all by any means. A lot yes, and I agree, they're a pain in the @$$. The stupid rules are the stupid rules however.

And the covers within the profile right now aren't that bad in the first place. They're pretty good actually.

Your keep case covers may look better just from a scan in the example you posted above, but if you tweak you slip cover scans just slightly (make them not look washed out) there's no reason a scan of them can't be great. Be thankful you're not working with a holographic cover or something. The 3D version I bought was a giant pain in the butt...

"If a DVD is packaged in a keep case, within a slipcase of some kind, scan the Cover Images from the outer slipcase" only refers to a DVD.

It's an old rule that didn't get caught and updated when Blu-ray was added to the program.
