    What about HD DVD and Blu-ray?  These really aren't custom.  To me, they are a different kind of keep case.

    Ok

    I just submitted

    Stargate SG-1 S4-S6

    I changed the existing case type from Keep case to Box Set.

    I recieved a NO vote from someone saying it should be submitted as Slip Case
    not Box Set.

    That is not even a choice.

    Steve,

    I read your post just after you posted it but I'm not ignoring you, I'm just not sure of what to say to that. It takes a very "special" person to vote the way you described.  Ignoring it might be best because they are probably the type who argues for something to do.

    They aren't either one, so, no matter what you choose it will have to be changed later.

    I think most are calling them Keep Cases though.

    That's true. They are quite common nowadays and think they should have their own category.

    That's what I always understood, but as one of my updates of a profile has been vetoed by one user and rejected because of the case type, I need some further clarification. The following picture is said to be a "Box Set (Slip Case)":



    As far as I understand, "Box Set" is always used to define any release that includes more than one film. So if I have just one DVD with one film in a Keep Case inside of such "Slip Case", where only one DVD fits in, I actually considered it to be a "Slip Cover (Sleeve)", although it is open only at one side, unlike the following picture, where it seems to be open on both sides/ends:



    So, a DVD with one film in a single Keep Case inside of a single Slip Cover (open only on one side), should I enter it in DVD Profiler as Keep Case or as Box Set? 
    So long,

    It's a Keep Case, not a Boxset and we obviously at the moment have neither Slip Case(Boxset) nor Slip Cover options.
