| | Posted: | | | | For a boxed set where all of the movies are together in a single case and you have to register each individual movie through its disc ID (ie: the Back to the Future trilogy boxed set), is it preferred to use the same front and back covers of the boxed set for the individual disc ID submissions as well or if the same movies had been previously released, should/can those covers be used?
I assume that the former would be the preferred choice (even though it lacks the "individuality" for each title), but I am asking this because I have seen it both ways in the database. | | | If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.

| | Posted: | | | | Per the Rules the Box Set image should be used unless the movies are individually packaged in the box. Quote:
Create each of these individual profiles in line with the standard Contribution Rules with one exception - Cover Images. If a film is individually packaged, use the cover images from that packaging. I occasionally use alternate images locally, but only locally. | | | | Bad movie? You're soaking in it! |

| | Posted: | | | | As tweeter said... no matter what is preferred for the online database it has to be the same images as the parent profile in such cases. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | As Pete noted and we don't acceptcustom covers for the Online, as tweeter noted, That would be strictly a local decision on your part.

It looks like I have a couple of contributions to make. | | | If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.

Didn't know about that. That's news to me too. I hope what Unicus means is that if the disc ID has already been used to create an individual release profile, then we can't update it with boxset scans. But if the disc ID has not been used to create a profile for a previous release I see no reason not to use it for a child profile for the boxset and use the corresponding scans. |

Yes, that is what I meant. Sorry if I wasn't as clear as I meant to be. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

And just an FYI, BTTF has never been released as individual DVDs...at least in R1 land. Not exactly correct, the original release should have been contributed with UPC unless it didn't have one. Quote:
When contributing a title by UPC, make sure the UPC is entered in this format. Do not contribute titles with "made up" or otherwise inaccurate UPCs. If a title does not have a UPC, then add the title by Disc ID, using your DVD-ROM drive. If the a disc from the box set doesn't have an individual UPC for that disc but, is using the disc ID from a previous release that had a UPC the box set disc ID should be the one we are using. For some reason we have users contributing new releases that have UPCs by disc ID instead of UPC which causes issues with future releases such as box sets. | | | Are you local?
