That's the cooperative thingy. It gets things done in a twisted way maybe, but hopefully its result is more complete than the idea of only one.

Well, I honestly don't think so.
The nightmare will be the update of existing data. Central and local.

So what we need is a new feature which allows us to select multiple countries (one check for each country where it's intended for sale), and then each country gets it's own SRP, all in one profile under the shared UPC. Overview could just have all the languages printed out as they appear on the cover.
That was easy wasn't it. 

(I'm sure this would probably be a programming nightmare, but would clear up a ton of un-needed profiles and make for a better overall DB, if it's possible)

Best idea ever.. 

For the scandinavian coop there is many different combinations of countries included.
FIN/SWE/DAN/NOR, FIN/SWE/NOR, SWE/DAN/NOR and so on
(this could also lead to a common cast and crew for all of us <-- whispering)
We are all at the same age, only at different time...

I think common cast & crew should be shared by ALL the profiles containing the same disc (=same Disc-ID), regardless of packaging and localities.

Good idea, bigdaddy! One green arrow for you!

For music DVDs in Europe I tend to go by the ratings on the cover. Quite often, there are both German and UK ratings, so I usually choose one of these two localities (with my choice based on what's already in the database - is there already a profile? if there are two, which is the best?).

With regard to Sxilderik's original case: as there are no French ratings, it does not belong in the France locality. Same for other Benelux releases sold in France.

One final complication for multilingual countries such as Belgium. I know of at least one case where the actual disc was the same, but the cover art and even the SRP were different for the two main language communities of Belgium (French vs. Flemish). The French version had an EAN, the Flemish version didn't. In the end, someone contributed the Flemish version to the Netherlands locality (even though it's a Belgium-only release)...

I was wondering how this sort of situation is being handled in countries like Switzerland.

terrible idea, as well as the Language of the overview the SRP will be completely different in each country.

Usually the language is the same with music dvds, because record companies use the same cover. Same as cd's.

I agree though with Patsa's comment about the release date.

Well, it was just a thought...
