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.
Create individual profiles for each movie in these Box Sets. Use individual UPCs
if they are available or use Disc ID (read on a DVD-ROM) if not. Create each of
these individual profiles in line with the standard Contribution Rules with one
exception - Cover Images. If a film is individually packaged, use the cover
images from that packaging.
Child profiles which share cover images of the parent should use the same case type options, including slip cover checkbox, as the parent
Discs with more than one movie on a single side should be entered as one profile per movie. Use a disc ID profile, and as many disc ID alternate profiles as required.
If a Box Set contains discs of Bonus Material for individual films, do not
create separate profiles for these discs. Add the information to the individual
film’s profile as normal for a single film 2-Disc set. If there is a disc of
Bonus Material for all films included in the Box-set, create a separate profile
for this disc.
For the main Box-set profile, add the individual profiles via "Box set" button.
The following Clarifications to the standard Rules need to be used:
| Section |
Clarification / Adjustment to Rules |
| Title |
The title for a Box Set should be the title listed on the front
cover, for example Alien Quadrilogy |
| Production Year |
Production Year for a Box Set should be the year of the earliest
feature release in the set. |
| Running Time |
Use the combined running time of all the films in the Box Set; do
not include running time of any extra features. |
| Rating |
If the Box Set has a rating, use it in the profile. If it does
not, use NR as the rating. Exception: If any disc in the set is rated Adult,
list the set as Adult |
| Disc IDs |
Do not include any Disc IDs on the main profile - these are
listed on each of the individual profiles. |
| Easter Eggs |
Do not include any Easter Eggs on the main profile - Easter
Eggs will be handled within the individual profiles. |
| Credits |
Do not use credits for the box set - Credits will be listed on the
individual profiles. For additional information on handling of TV Series type
releases see the TV series section. |
| Overview |
If the box set cover contains a listing of contents with brief
descriptions of each, enter it directly into the Overview field. If there
is no overview on the cover, an overview from an included booklet may be
substituted. Otherwise, enter an itemized listing of the contents
only, without descriptions. |
In addition to the above, the following are not included on the box set profile: Subtitles,
Audio & Disc Features. List them with the individual profiles.
Sets containing the same film on multiple media types (such as a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack) are to be entered as a normal profile for the main
media type (Blu-ray in this example), with all included media types checked. A combo which includes HD media (HD-DVD, Blu-ray) as well as DVD should use
the details from the HD media in the main profile.
However, you may add an additional profile by Disc ID for the DVD content and add this profile to the Box Set contents for the Blu-ray profile.
