No it's not> Had both you, Alien and the prior Contributor followed the Rules to begin with this discussion would not be necessary because it never would have happened. But all of you and otbhers chose to completely ignore the Rules and just accept whatever. For once hal just say you screwed up , which you did, BIG TIME.

Until you can show where I did not follow any rules, please stop bringing it up. It's clear that you are a liar and you should stop your pathetic attempts to cover your lies with smokescreens faulting others when it's obvious you are the one to blame here.

That's nice. Here's my version:

- Skip makes a contribution which changes Non Anamorphic (Correct) to Anamorphic (Incorrect)
- A polite topic was opened asking people to check their discs to insure something wasn't being missed
- It was quickly ascertained that Non Anamorphic is correct
- Skip comes in and says Anamorphic is correct and Non Anamorphic is incorrect because the contributer didn't give good notes
- "Good notes" are provided in the thread, so Skip is asked to withdraw his contribution because it contains incorrect data
- Skip refuses and leaves his contribution up
- Contribution is declined
- It is brought up why Skip should be allowed to contribute since he knowingly submitted incorrect data and refused to withdraw it even after clear and proper documentation was posted showing it was incorrect

 

Pretty sure it's called "you reap what you sow."

Your DVDs are in storage? You should not be contributing then because, according to the rules, you should take most data directly from the DVD itself.

If you are contributing then you are in violation of invelos rules.

So, according to you, the proper response to pointing out a violation of rules is "MYOB"?

I pointed out the simple fact that users and Contributors had totally violated the rules.

"MYOB"

I think there are a few different issues gong on here.

It seems to me that Skip's issue is that it was changed (correctly) to Non-anamorphic but done so without documentation.  This isn't the first time a DVD has been labeled incorrectly.  I agree that any change should be documented to some degree, especially one that contradicts the packaging.  I agree with others that you can tell just by looking at it, but that also depends on your setup.  My system is setup that if I put a non-anamorphic widescreen disc in it will be pillar boxed.  But I've seems some TVs/AVR's setup to autozoom so someone who puts in a non-anamorphic disc might think it is actually enhanced because they fail to see the black bars.  I'd also agree getting a program that can tell is the best proof.

The next part is where I am somewhat unlcear to me, maybe Skip can clear it up for me.

Skip made a new contribution trying to get it changed back to enhanced.  Is that correct?  He cited that it was indeed enhanced and provided notes that 2-3 programs identified it as in fact being enhanced.

Many people are quick to call him out for lying, which I think is a bit hasty.

If he did lie then shame on him, if he did knowingly contribute incorrect data to the online database then double shame on him.

But if he actually thought he was fixing an error that is a different story.  The only way this could be is true is if the notes he used were old and he was confused with another submission.  While this scenario is better in terms of not being malicious, it is IMO just as bad, if not worse since from this point forward you will always question whether or not the documentation he provides is something he has actually done or just collected from old notes.

Skip, I think you lost some credibility here either way.  I haven't seen any act of contrition on your part for submitting bad data to the database, which you have been very vocal against.  This fact has nothing to do whether or not they change originally made had enough documentation to your liking, that is another point all together.  You'd be much better serve if you just ate some crow, admit you made a mistake and move on.  Another point is that you seem to have different standards on what you think is acceptable documentation, compared to Invelos.  While I think everyone would prefer the documentation you like to see, it isn't required and until Invelos changes their policy to match yours we have to go with what the rules say.

Unfortunately our skippy can go on season after season after season, no matter what the audience thinks about his show.

Any yes, I agree with Stevegblair that if you have your widescreen TV set up so nothing distorts the picture, non-anamorphic DVDs will have black bars on all four sides

Yes, it's very easy. Only things where you actually need any specified software to do complete profile is to verify Regions, layers, Insert DiscID, maybe aspect ratio in some cases and to do cover scans.
