Swissfilm, as far as running time is concerned I think it's pretty straightforward:
- if it's a new contribution, you can take the running time from the back cover
- if someone has checked that against the actual running time on the disc, then you are required to keep that running time in the online
- if you want to check the exact running time, you can use your standalone BD player for that

I think your question had a technical side to it, as it seems you can't check the running time at a glance with your player. I don't know which model you have but I think a lot of them have menu/display option where you can see the remaining time vs total playtime of a disc or something similar. Just read it off from there and you'll be fine. It might be necessary to check your manual to see how to activate that. But in general, there's no need of a BD drive in your PC to check that (unlike for example the disc ID)

Hi to all

Many thanks for all the feedback. So for new contributions it is easy and if changing/updating a contribution I will read the history do know if somebody wrote taken from disc. As I soon need a new PC I will then buy one with a blu-ray drive to get things easier :-).

Thanks,

Fritz

The 93 min running time is probably the one with PAL-Speedup, which the DVD release would have, but which is not the case with Blu-ray releases.


Almost definitely... and what's worse quite a lot of distributors don't understand this either and copy the rear cover infor from the DVD onto the BluRay case!

I am not sure if that is not on purpose. Maybe they want to avoid confusing the Average Joe who could think that the Blu-ray has a longer cut.
