| | Posted: | | | | These were financed by New Line, which is an American company, but actually made by Wingnut films, which is a Kiwi company. I'd say New Zealand, but this program really needs to handle the idea of co-productions. |

| | Posted: | | | | It's New Zealand, as CoO refers to the country where the (primary) production company is based. This was settled long ago, so the poll is redundant.
I fully agree with Ace on co-productions - this has been asked for for a long time. | | | | Last edited: by dee1959jay |

| | Posted: | | | | Definitely NZ & definitely agree that we need to be able to list multiple CoO. |

Definitely NZ & definitely agree that we need to be able to list multiple CoO. Not without additional rules. I don't want those european co-productions to list a dozen countries without any kind of priority when clearly it's a German or British film. Having said that, you'd still need to decide which is the "main" country so you've won nothing with that. | | | | - Jan |

Having said that, you'd still need to decide which is the "main" country so you've won nothing with that. The easiest way is as I've previously suggested, put them in the order listed. Then there can be no arguing over which Country gets priority. |

| | Posted: | | | | Yep, either that or implement a checkbox solution like we already have for Subtitles. |

| | Posted: | | | | Indeed, that would work just as fairly. |

| | Posted: | | | | For the reasons Ace statedm, I agree with NZ. I also agree that multiple choices would be nice. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.

How would that help with my concern? No, thank you. I can just see another near unmaageable list of contries, along with the accompanying whines about including Monrovia (fictional) for the one and only film that ever came from there, because Other doesn't suit them. Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

How would that help with my concern? Very simple: by eliminating any need to prioritise the countries - which was your concern as I understood it. With a checkbox solution, countries would simply come in alphabetical order. Take a look at the Subtitle section of the Edit Profile screen to see what I mean. | | | | Last edited: by dee1959jay |

Skip How is that any different from what we have for Subtitles right now? |

| | Posted: | | | | It's not, deejay, it is ANOTHER massive set of checkboxes, which in my opinion or unnecessary and unmanageable. I would, frankly like to see the number of checkboxes for languages reduced SUBSTANTIALLY, with a user fill-in field if other needs to be checked.

| | Posted: | | | | That could work as well. I don't have any problem with the current implementation though. |
