I recently bought a complete series on dvd and I was wondering what numbering to use.

The one on the physical disc or the one on the disc menu.

Season one is fine, but when I get to Season two of the set this is what's on disc 1 of season 2.

On the disc itself.
Disc 6
Season 2
Episodes 23-27

On the disc menu itself
On the main menu:
Season 2 Disc 1
and on the episode sub-menu
the episodes are listed 1-5



So do I use for the disc id field

Disc 6: Season 2: Episodes 23-27

or

Season 2: Disc 1: Episodes 1-5

or perhaps

Disc 6: Season 2: Episodes 1-5

This'll be hard to get a consensus on. Personally, I would list this as "Episodes 6.1-6.5", but that's just me. In any case, I would leave out the disc number, as the Disc ID section in DVD Profiler has it's own column for disc numbering. And if it's already called disc #6 in that column, then it really doesn't need to be labelled as "Disc 6" a second time.

I personally agree with Tim but I have seen it done other ways as well. And like Tim I don't think you will find a concensus on it.

I never seen the disc number added. I have seen peoople write out the word season (which I don't like) and I also seen people use no season indicator at all.and just number the episdoes 1 thru say 100.,, which I have mixed feelings about.
