| | Posted: | | | | While going through my boxsets I came upon an anomaly.
The US Bluray for House of Wax (1953), UPC 883929-350964, has House of Wax (3D) as a parent profile and Mystery of the Wax Museum as a child.
This is structured like a combo box, but it's not a combo. It's two movies on a single disc. The fact that one is 3D and the other is 2D does not make it a combo.
This should either be profiled as a regular boxset with two movies, or - probably more correct- as one movie with the other listed under Other Features (which is also is, by the way) since it is not mentioned on the front cover and only listed under Special Features on the back.
Am I correct? | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

| | Posted: | | | | It is set up correctly, per the Bonus Feature Film part of the contribution rules.
Bonus Feature Films The term "Bonus Feature Film" is used to define any feature film that is included as part of the bonus material for a single release. These are not the same as Double Features or Anthology Collections which are a collection of films grouped together which require the "Box Set" contribution rules. Do not confuse "Bonus Feature Films" with "Any video documentary material regarding the film, or those associated with it." Those are Featurettes. Some examples of Bonus Feature Films are:
Previous movie versions, example "Ben-Hur: Four-Disc Collector's Edition" which includes the 1925 version.
Companion movie bonuses, example "Season of the Witch" which includes "There's Always Vanilla" from the same director.
Create the profile for the main feature in line with the standard Contribution Rules with the title of the Bonus Feature Film added to the Other Features field. Create a child profile for the "Bonus Feature Film" using its individual UPC if available or use Disc ID (read on a DVD-ROM) if not available. If the Disc ID is already in use, create an alternate version Disc ID. When creating a child profile, do not remove the "Bonus Feature Film" Disc ID from the main profile. When profiling the "Bonus Feature Film", only profile the data associated with that film. Any features associated with the Main Feature belong to the Main Feature profile. Add the additional profile to the Main Profile as a child profile via the Box Set button. Cover Images: Use the cover image from the Main Feature profile's packaging. Exception: If the "Bonus Feature Film" is individually packaged, use the cover images from that packaging. | | | | Registered: February 10, 2002 |

"Box Sets" Containing More Than One Film The term "Box Set" is used to define any release that includes more than one film. The main examples are: Sets where each film is packaged individually, and held together in a package of some kind. Sets where each film is on a separate disc, but not individually packaged. This includes gatefold Digipaks and 2-Disc sets in normal DVD cases. Sets containing 2 films, one on each side of Dual-Sided DVD. | | | | Last edited: by zappman |

| | Posted: | | | | And bonus feature films is an exception per the rules. It is only a box set of the additional film(s) is not considered a bonus feature. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | Ugh! I hate how Ken has messed up the database structure! You would think that if a profile is flagged as boxset parent, it actually is a boxset parent with the properties you would expect that a true boxset parent has. But no! It can be part of a combo box, where the parent is actually a feature film. And now I learn that it can also be a feature film with one or more bonus films. For querying and statistical analysis this is a bloody nightmare!  | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.
