I was trying to enter American Dreams: Season One into the DB.  It is an outer cover with two digipacks inside.  One has disc 1-4.  The other has 5-7.  How shoudl this be entered?  Alias is the same way, but the cases are entered with the DISC ID ala version 2 and the discs with the new disc ID.  I don't think there's any way to get the old disc ID in anymore.

I could just enter the two packages and list all the disc son the two, or I could eneter all seven discs separately and just enter the cover art as the digipak in which that disc is found.  Or is there a third way?

I agree with Skip on this one, Ace.  Seems the most sensible way to do it.

To be specific this is the part of his second option I was picking up on.

"or I could eneter all seven discs separately and just enter the cover art as the digipak in which that disc is found."

That IS what I would do as it is c0onsistent with the way I handle any TV Series, DISC LEVEL profiles.

I don't want to use individual panels.  The discs are broken up into two digipacks.  I wants to use the front and back of the one thta holds 1-4 for 1-4 and the front and back of the one that hold 5-7 for 5-7.

In terms of your local database, you can have whichever scan you like.
In terms of the online database, it's a bit of a grey area. Some people interpret the front and back of digipaks as covers and use them for child profiles, others don't and use the front and back of the slipcase instead. You can try submitting them to the online database, but be prepared for possible 'no' votes.
Although had the cases been thinpaks or keepcases instead of digipacks, then the scans would definitely be allowed. That does lend weight to your idea of using scans of the front and back of the digipak.

Alias, Family Guy, etc all have scans of the indvidual packaging for the discs.  I don't see how this is any different.

You may have missed my post just above.
Some people interpret digipaks differently in terms of packaging to the others because they normally don't follow the traditional 'front, back, open like a book' style of packaging.
It's difficult to say whether your scans would follow the rules or not. All I can suggest is to submit them and see what the reaction is by the voters.

That's not quite right Skip.

All the rules say is "If a disc, or set of discs, have their own case, use the cover images from that case."

In this situation, the case is a digipak. So if the digipak has a front and back, then the scans are valid.

I don't believe that is the intent of the Rule, but  sadly my friend Ace is a well known pot stirrer.
