A little help please.... I would like to know how this release should be done per the Invelos rules. There is definitely something wrong with it... but not 100% sure how to fix it to be honest.

It is a release with the Blu-ray 3D. Blu-ray and DVD.

Right now it is set up almost like a box set... except the parent profile also has all info in it.... but it has child profiles for all 3 discs.

Question is how should it be done.

It is not a box set per rules as there is not multiple films. Per the rules it should be set up similar to the bonus film rules... Hi-Def format as parent to other formats.

So should it be...

Blu-ray 3D (Parent)
---- Blu-ray
---- DVD

or

Blu-ray (Parent)
---- Blu-ray 3D
---- DVD

or does the Blu-ray discs both go to the same profile as they are both the high def versions...

Blu-ray/Blu-ray 3D (Parent)
---- DVD

My initial thoughts is the first one...

Quote:
Blu-ray 3D (Parent)
---- Blu-ray
---- DVD

But as I said... not entirely sure how it should be done.... thoughts?

Indeed:

Blu-ray 3D (Parent)
---- Blu-ray
---- DVD

That's how I would do it as well.

They are not Bonus films, they should be handled the same way as other Blu-ray 3D sets.

I know they are not bonus films. I never said they were. all I said was...

I don't have a 3D Blu-ray player or 3D TV... so don't have any other set like this one. Only reason I have this one is that I found it at a local used shop yesterday for only $4!

Also... if I remember correctly... since everyone does not use the child profiles for these releases... All info from all discs (include any extras or what have you) that is only on child profile(s) is also added to the parent profile. Am I right about this?

Well, the rules do contain this sentence (bottom of the Box Sets section):  A combo which includes HD media (HD-DVD, Blu-ray) as well as DVD should use the details from the HD media in the main profile.

So in this case, it doesn't seem you're right. Not entirely sure though, because this sentence could be read to refer to the film details only rather than disc features. However, I would be inclined to list the features on the "main" profile disc only.

The reason I (as well as Danae Cassandra) was thinking it maybe it should be is because the rules also say

Quote:
Sets containing the same film on multiple media types (such as a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack) are to be entered as a normal profile for the main media type (Blu-ray in this example), with all included media types checked. A combo which includes HD media (HD-DVD, Blu-ray) as well as DVD should use the details from the HD media in the main profile. However, you may add an additional profile by Disc ID for the DVD content and add this profile to the Box Set contents for the Blu-ray profile.

Making it sound like the child profiles (like for TV Series sets) are optional.... so all info for the entire set should be in the parent profile for those that choose not to download the child profiles. But as I said... we are not sure either. Rules on this subject are confusing at best.

Confusion arises when the DVD in such combo sets contains disc features which the (3D) blu-ray doesn't. There's no question the DVD child profiles are optional, but that's where clarity stops. It all depends on which "details" the following rule is referring to:

"A combo which includes HD media (HD-DVD, Blu-ray) as well as DVD should use the details from the HD media in the main profile."

Film details or disc details (as in disc features)?

I see it the same way as DoubleDown and TheMadMartian. It is what makes the most sense to me. Unfortunately the rules don't always follow what makes the most sense (at least not what makes the most sense to me).

But I think that is how I need to update the profile, between going by the way I read the rules and this thread. Once I get the chance that is. Working retail this time of the year takes all your extra time!
