| | Posted: | | | | As the subject says, is Arrow Academy a media company or an edition? Arrows website calls it a label, one of four; Arrow Video, Arrowdrome, Arrow Academy and Nordic Noir.
To me, this suggests that it should be treated as a media company, the same way that Scream Factory is considered a media company under Shout! Factory. But I have seen Arrow Academy used as an edition (and as a media company). | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

| | Posted: | | | | The Criterion Collection is used as both an edition and a media company so there is no definitive answer.

| | Posted: | | | | From the rules on Media Companies (my bolding):
"Enter in the following order:
. Publisher (Content) - Usually found as a logo on the bottom of the back cover or in the credit block, often containing the words "home video" or "home entertainment. Secondary publishers (eg. The Criterion Collection's Eclipse label) may also be listed."
and
"Some companies (using similar but different names) may serve more than one function. List such companies only once, using the name from the logo. List secondary publishers even if the name is similar. If you are unsure of the function performed, do not list the company."
I would treat it as what the rules call a "secondary publisher", much like the Eclipse label mentioned in the rules (they even use the word "label").
And if "Arrow Academy" is some sort of collection, in that case it can be entered in the Edition field as well. | | | | Last edited: by dee1959jay |
