Be a good lad and scan only the paper part and add the HD-DVD banner. I even made nice ones for everyone to use. I scan paper, but "made" logos shouldn't be used IMO... They are nice, though.  | | | Erik

 Thought so. Baka. And one last time for the 5th page of this fun ride.  Quoting Unicus69: Quote:
I can see where it looks like the deck is stacked in favor of a specific result. The addition of, "Even though it's a violation of the current rules, add the banners," will make some people vote 'no' even if they don't agree. | | | Erik

| | Posted: | | | | gardibolt had an excellent sugestion in the version of this thread I created a few days ago.
A new feature of DVD Profiler to automatically tack on a HD-DVD/Blu-Ray banner onto the image based on the media selection.
My sugestion would be to add a preference to disable the banner.
CON: Existing scans will need to have the banners removed
PRO: Everybody is happy |

Did you misspell a word or are you calling me a name or something? Like yourself, I'll simply not answer that since it's more convenient for me. Love the sig, by the way. Don't you have some more "personal Invelos rule guidance" telephone calls to attend to? Seems like they aren't working yet. | | | Erik

All contributed images would have to be resized to a specific width in order for the banner to be "one-size fits all". It's not hard to auto-scale a banner, simply setting it's width to match the cover scan would solve that. Depending on the language, the height may need to be computed to maintain the aspect ratio. It seems that the vast majority of the downloaded covers are 500 pixels wide which seems to be the max. |

Now that I think about it, if they are smaller than that, they don't up-size them!  | | | | Hal |

The top part serves to differentiate the scan at a glance from a regular DVD. I find it helpful in the My Profiler online and in the PDA version. That would have to be fixed via feature request Quoting m.cellophane: Quote:
I even prefer it over the HD DVD logo in the progam. It's quick. I see it and I instantly know what it is. And even quicker is to use media type column in your listing. |

However, I am disappointed that people that own NEITHER format are voting in this poll. If you don't own any, you should be voiting NEUTRAL. This poll is totally useless. Even when not owning any HD yet, everybody could be affected in the future by this poll when he decides to buy his first HD disc. |
