'On the Road with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby: The Franchise Collection' cannot be profiled in the normal way.  There are others this way too.

This is a one disc collection that is DS/DL with 2 movies on each side.  When you view the menu each movie is listed as being from 'Bob Hope The Tribute Collection' with the front cover from each particular DVD in that collection shown. Individual profiles for each movie in the box set cannot be added by disc ID since 2 movies cannot have the same ID which they would have since there are 2 on each side.  You would have to add the box set contents using the profiles for each of these DVDs from 'The Tribute Collection'.  Then, so that you would be following part of the rules, you would have to edit the cover images of each movie so that they would have the images from the box set.

Whew!

You would also have to change general info, possibly features and more.

With the new ability in 3.0 to have cast and crew dividers, you could just have a single profile for all 4 movies. Or, you could have three profiles: one for the collection overall, and one for each side of the disc, with each of those profiles having info for two movies (again, using dividers)

Or you could just take the child profiles from that other collection and add them, but don't contribute the box set data to the database.

For your Local DB, you could create disc ID profiles for the first movie on each side and then manual profiles for the second movie on each side and then add all four to the parent boxset which would have no details in it.

For my local db I just made children of the 4 individual movies for the box set.  But there still is no way to build the box set properly for inclusion in the DVDP db.

Yup, that's true.
