| Posted: | | | | I know it's been discussed a few times and there's still an ongoing thread about it in the contribution rules comitee forums. To be honnest I didn't folllow them and I really don't feel like reading over 20 pages of yet another endless debate.
I bought 4 box sets of TV Series and I wonder if there is a consensus now on how they should be profiled. Right now they're a little messy and I'd like to fix them. I'll do it the way I want them but I don't mind making them "contribution friendly" if it's not too much extra work.
Do we profile episodes at the disc level or at the boxset level ? Do we repeat the regular cast in each episode or do we put them once at the box set ? Do we enter cast at all at the box set level ? | | | My 4x4 Club: Club FJ Cruiser Quebec DVDP Français: Forum DVD Profiler Français DVDCOL:DVD Collectors Online Video: LG RU-42PX10 Audio: Sony DreamSystem DAVFX100W |

| Posted: | | | | Quoting Touti: Quote: Do we profile episodes at the disc level or at the boxset level ? Depends on what you mean by 'profile'. All I can say is disc level is optional, but all information should be in the boxset level. Quote: Do we repeat the regular cast in each episode or do we put them once at the box set ? The concensus was to repeat the regular cast in each episode. Quote: Do we enter cast at all at the box set level ? Yes, the box set must contain the full cast list for every episode. There is an easy way to do this once you have completed the disc profiles using notepad and the 'copy all/paste all' options. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

Simply put - both! Profiling at disc level is optional but nice to have! Quote:

General consensus seems to be we repeat them every time. Quote:
Do we enter cast at all at the box set level ? Yes, boxset level contains cast & crew for all episodes. Edit: Damn! Just a few seconds too slow on that submit button! | | | Last edited: by northbloke |

| Posted: | | | | I could have edited the previous post but I'm trying for the Guiness record of the quickest thread ever So basically, everything has to be done at the boxset level, regular cast are to be repeated for each episode and, if one wants to, he can copy that information for each disc in the set for the episodes on this disc. Correct ? | | | My 4x4 Club: Club FJ Cruiser Quebec DVDP Français: Forum DVD Profiler Français DVDCOL:DVD Collectors Online Video: LG RU-42PX10 Audio: Sony DreamSystem DAVFX100W | | | Last edited: by Touti |

Correct ? Kinematics and I have tried to consolidate the whole boxset thing into a single section of the rules, but some people don't even want to discuss it. However, if you tell us what you bought, it might be easier to answer your question. | | | John

Correct ? Providing none of the regular cast /crew change... no good listing donald duck for every episode out of twenty if he only appears in eighteen. Steve |

| Posted: | | | | Here it is.
Fame - The Complete First Season: The profile is pretty much empty. The online DB doesn't have any child profiles for the discs and the crew & Crew are both empty. I haven't checked the rest of the profile yet.
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea - Sea. 1, Vol. 1: Online DB has child profiles for the discs. The BoxSet has no crew and I think (haven't checked yet) that the cast is not complete. The child profiles have no cast & crew, they have features, languages and episode synopsis in the overview.
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea - Sea. 1, Vol. 2: Same as above except that some child profiles have a Cast which doesn't even have the entire Regular cast on disc 1.
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea - Sea. 2, Vol 1: Same as above.
On all 3 Boxsets profiles and corresponding discs profiles, the Features seem to be pretty screwed up as they even change from one disc to another within a given boxset.
So in short......there's a lotta work to do on those babies. | | | My 4x4 Club: Club FJ Cruiser Quebec DVDP Français: Forum DVD Profiler Français DVDCOL:DVD Collectors Online Video: LG RU-42PX10 Audio: Sony DreamSystem DAVFX100W |

| Posted: | | | | Here's a follow-up question I haven't previously seen an answer to, so I'll ask:
For a series with season-by-season box set releases the answers in this thread certainly apply. Also, if an entire series is released under a single UPC (for example, BBC's The Young Ones with both seasons in one Digipack) this would be the way to do it.
But what about the uber-box-sets that come out, ones which contain a full rack of the exact same season-by-season sets, but merely in a giant slip cover that has it's own UPC and acts as a container for all of the previously released season set boxes (also still bearing their original individual box set UPCs).
Do we again profile the uber-box set with the episodes, cast, and crew for the entire series (season 1 + season 2 + season 3...and so on), a list possibly hundreds of episodes long? If so, this seems extremely redundant. Granted you can't do it now, but imagine if disc level "grandchildren" were added. An episode would be profiled three times in one release.
Or do we simply leave each season box set as a stand alone entry (as they were already previously profiled when initially released) and just add their profiles as box set contents to the uber-box as we do with film collections and leave it at that? Personally, this seems much more logical a choice. |
