I don't take part of the conversation about documentation, but I do know for a fact that sometimes DVDP doesn't recognize the layer info correctly.

Based on my experiences it doesn't analyze layer info at all. It only guesses that if the disc has more than 4.7GB of data it's DL and if less, it has to be SL. In first case you have to assume that the guess is correct, because it's pretty hard to fit more than 4.7GB to a SL disc, but I've seen several cases where disk has 4GBs of data and it is actually a DL. DVDP has guessed all these incorrectly as SL. That's why I use proper third party software to analyze layer info. Just my two cents...

This case was a good example, I initially voted No and simply requested verification, after 36 hours I added a bit of sarcasm, hoping that would grab his attention, after another day of ignoring the request, I blasted him, that finally got response.

You were monitoring this contribution much more closely than I was. The first time I saw the 'no' votes was today.

His first response was apparently to come cry about it here, then he finally edited his notes and i was able to immediately vote Yes, and please note that I did vote YES, I did not change my vote neutral as I have pointed out that James has done once his issue gets addressed.

I posted here after I edited the notes to point out that the program does this automatically.

I have also been changing my 'no' votes to 'yes' lately (after you fix the problems) to see if that would get you to stop blasting me in your contribution notes. Sadly, you've continued to do so, not only about me but about others.

Actually, if you enter a new profile by Disc ID, the program does get it wrong when it ciopies the Disc ID to the Disc Information. Only when you go to "Discs" and "Set" the Disc ID again, it gets right.
Since I noticed this, I started checking with Nero Infotool (and give the source in the contribution notes).

If you don't wish to provide such information then I will have to vote No, citing unverified data.

I really don't see what the big deal is here.

You pop a disc in, DVDP reads it and enters both the Disc ID and the n° of layers and you submit that info.

In my opinion, that doesn't need much clarification as it's an automated process and I'll always vote yes on such contributions.

Well, Taro as you can see there is a problem, I had discovered it but hadn't isolated it's origin. There seems to be not only verification of it from several sources but also a probable explanation as to the cause. So, I'll continue using my tools to verify the Layers and i will continue to expect to see some sort of comment as to the source of the data for a field which is user editable. If you don't wish to provide such information then I will have to vote No, citing unverified data.
