then you also eliminate most other "collection" names.

But surely the rule could be worded to allow those? "Collection Names" are absolutely fine by me, but needlessly repeating the video format, which already is available elsewhere in the profile and as such, serves no purpose whatsoever, especially given the fact that there usually is no non-widescreen version available, remains highly irritating for most of us. Again: we already have a field for the video format. Unsurprisingly, it's not the one called "Edition"...

In this case, nothing was written on the cover.

For Paramount, when the film is Academy ratio, they use "Paramount Collection". Is that a collection or a video format? They also have "Full Screen Collection". To me, these are collection names.

"Widescreen Collection" and "Full Screen Collection" aren't collection names to me: they're indications of the video format. That's interesting information indeed, but we already have a field for that. As for "Paramount Collection", well, I might even surrender to that one as far as my local database is concerned, but it's still rather pointless, IMHO. Again it's unneeded duplicating of information that's already elsewhere in the profile (the "media companies" field, in this case). As a rule of thumb, rather than trying to fill the edition field at all costs, I try to use it only for stuff that isn't repeated elsewhere in the profile.

when I see "Widescreen Collection", that narrows down the choice for me for which preliminary profile to select. I know that profile has been audited per the rules rather than one of the other stray UPCs that might be out there. That makes it the best starting profile to add to my collection.

  Apart from anything else, I have to say that just doesn't fly. I've honestly found that most users don't use the pointless "Widescreen Collection", especially not outside R1, and so it's presence, or the lack thereof, really doesn't tell you anything. I've literally seen hundreds of absolutely perfect, fully-audited Paramount DVD-profiles without that silly banner as an edition. I'm sure you'll get to keep your "Widescreen Collection", but I would hope (and expect it is, really) that it's based one something more substantial than this, which really is the biggest non-argument I've ever seen. 'Cause it's just not true.

Well if the Edition part of a title should come from what is printed on the front cover I would suggest that people should look at the front cover of this particular title.

The word "DTS" is clearly labeled in the "Bottom Left hand Corner", and as stated before their is a version here in the UK, abliet it may not be in the Invelos DB yet, a non DTS version used in the rental market.

Or does that NOT count?

Sorry hal...I think you'd better go see an optician (like myself) as nobody else seems able to see it, perhaps we're blind or something...else a psychiatrist for seeing things.
