| | Posted: | | | | I've noticed the DB is inconsistent on how digital copies are entered for multi-movie sets. The situation is a set with multiple movies. There's no individual packaging. There is a card included with digital copy for all movies. It doesn't matter whether it's one code or individual codes. Do we enter the digital copy feature on the box set, on the individual movies or both?
Examples include the collections for the following franchises: Fast & Furious, Riddick, Pitch Perfect, Spider-Man (Raimi era), Ghostbusters digibook and Hunger Games. |

| | Posted: | | | | I don't consider retail digital copies to be part of my physical movie collection since most that come with DVDs or BluRay are time gated and/or DRM riddled and/or limited to one download and I buy A LOT of movies second hand, so a lot of the time not good to me. Personally, I don't want digital copies showing up in DVDProfiler nor do I care about them.
To track and play digital content use something much better designed for it, like Plex. | | | | Last edited: by 69samael69 |

| | Posted: | | | | I for one always considered them disc features... especially since profiler includes them with all the other disc features in the program. | | | | Pete |

The program can't distinguish between disc-based and code-based digital copies...a digital copy is a digital copy and should be entered under the disc features of each child profile that has a digital copy. | | | | My phpDVDprofiler collection |

The rules say disc-features aren't included in a box set profile. We aren't talking about disc-based features here. Digital Copy is one on the items on the 'Disc Features' portion of the rules. Clearly, imvelos considers them a disc feature and they should be treated as such. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | Hopefully, the next release addresses the changes with digital copies and other services which have emerged since the digital copy feature was added ages ago. |

| | Posted: | | | | This is why I didn't think "digital copies" should be included...because much of the time they expire. This one is from The hunger Games and could easily still be sitting on a shelf at HMV or somewhere similar. I don't think temporary content should be included in DVD Profiler at all.  | | | | Last edited: by 69samael69 |
