Hello,

I like to update the dutch MAD MAX Trilogy with UPC 7321931240086.
It is a clamshell that has three discs into it. This clamshell is put in a slip case.

The profile right now is a mess. Crew and Cast is a mix of all 3 Mad MAx movies. No Child Profiles available.

I like to do the following:
Remove all the false data from the "slip case" profile. Then add 3 Child profiles for each disc via Disk ID and fill in the correct data for each film.

Is this correct ?

Or is it better to add the data for all 3 films using Dividers ?

I fear that I will get No votes when i remove the data from the slip case profile, as the discs inside do not have a case for each film, they are only put together in one clamshell.

Curious to hear your opinions.

greetings
Donnie

I would say that if the films are on separate DVD's then technically regardless of how they are held that still constitutes a Box Set so you would be right to break it down in said profiles.

If however the Three films are on a single disc, then it would remain a single profile, but using dividers to separate the three sets of cast / crew (in the appropriate sections)

So Box Set, three new Child Profiles for the three DVD's then allocated to the slipcase profile as box set contents.

Thx alot,

I will do as told, and also wait till the child profiles are released and then remove the crap from the slip case :D

cheers

Unfortunately those are the only 2 ways to contribute. I guess you will have to do the best you can for the parent profile for online. Using dividers and all... but locally you can create the correct boxset yourself if you prefer.

.

It probably wouldn't be kosher to link the existing Disc ID profiles to your soon-to-be box set parent (wouldn't those image replacement wars be fun) but you might want to include the Disc IDs in the notes for others who want to add them locally.

It's perfectly acceptable to attach child profiles to more than one boxset. This has happened loads of times in the UK with companies repackaging films ad infinitum.
The only problem you'll get is if someone has both boxsets in their personal database - that won't work because you are only allowed one instance of each profile.
But for the online a disc profile can be attached to as many parent profiles as it needs to be.
As others have mentioned, the only things you probably won't be able to change on the profiles are case type, release date and cover scans - everything else should be the same as your discs anyway.

Good to know.

It's not something i'd run into and know i'd be startled to download a parent + child profiles and discover the children had images that in no way matched the parent.  I think i'd understand why that was and know what not to do but i'm sure there would be others who would submit replacement images to match their parent.
