| | Posted: | | | | Hello,
where do I find the rule set regarding Edit Profile -> Discs -> Disc Information -> Description,
such as the default descriptions?
Thanks. | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played. [Ken Cole, DVD Profiler Architect] |

"Use the default descriptions wherever possible".
Where is the compilation of these 'default descriptions'? | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played. [Ken Cole, DVD Profiler Architect] |

Where is the compilation of these 'default descriptions'? There is no "compilation" of default descriptions. The 2 default descriptions are coded in the program itself in the Add Disc screen. The default for Disc 1 is "Main Feature". The default for Disc 2 is "Bonus Materials". The only time you would need to deviate from the defaults is to add (Widescreen) & (Pan & Scan) if the disc includes both versions of the film on sides A & B. Or when doing TV sets to include Episode descriptions for each disc, i.e., Episodes 1-6. | | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |

| | Posted: | | | | Before you get all wrapped around the axle. Simply use the default PERIOD, if you wish, there are some deviations as outlined above. If you wish to deviate from the Rules, on anything, you are free to do so but this becomes a matter of personal choice and is NOT contributable.

I've also seen some other stuff, for instance "Main Feature: Special Edition" and "Bonus Original Theatrical (1977)" in a Star Wars profile containing the new and the original versions of the movie on two discs. I don't know if that would be the correct way to contribute it, anyway that's what I found in the database. | | | | -- Enry | | | | Last edited: by White Pongo, Jr. |

| | Posted: | | | | no its not, if you follow the rules: Disc IDs Add disc information for each disc using a DVD-ROM drive. Use the default descriptions wherever possible; do not change "Main Feature" to the film’s title. Use one description per disc. If a disc is double-sided, there is only one description for that disc. Do not enter each side as a separate disc. If a movie is on both sides of a disc in Widescreen and Pan & Scan or Full Frame versions, identify this by entering the Side A description as "Main Feature (Widescreen)" and the Side B description as "Main Feature (Pan & Scan)" or "Main Feature (Full Frame)", or the reverse if that is the order on the disc sides. If a film spans 2 discs, add (Part 1) and (Part 2) to the “Main Feature” description. If your Disc ID differs from the Disc ID in the main database, you may change it and re-contribute it if you are doing a wider contribution, but don't make a specific contribution for this reason. All Disc IDs will be stored in the main database for a future development of DVD Profiler. | | | | Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were not submitted. Please include the sources for your changes in the contribution notes, especially for cast and crew additions. | | | | Last edited: by ? |

| | Posted: | | | | OK, hope my question fits here:
The profiles for the French Blu-rays of CONAN LE BARBARE and CONAN LE DESTRUCRTEUR both contain "Film et supplements" as disc descriptions. I changed that back into "Main Feature" because in my opinion the default description is completely sufficient in these cases. Now negative votes for my contributions start coming in saying "Film et supplements" to be the correct description for the French Blu-rays.

| | Posted: | | | | If it's a single disc release in which the disc is containing the Main Feature and Bonus Material the correct descriptor would be "Main Feature" only. Even for French releases.
EDIT: The only exception I can think of for this would be: A multi disc set of a TV-Show in which one or more discs are containing Main Feature(s) as well as Bonus Materials that are not directly Episode related.
Means: If the Bonus is an Audio Commentary, I wouldn't add "Bonus Materials", if it was a "Making Of", I would. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

Who is right? Them or me? You must know, that french people love their own language. They refuse to talk or write or read or listen to other languages. They hate to use english words. | | | | Si on n'a pas ce qu'on aime, on doit aimer, ce qu'on a ! |

Thank you. Than I am correct. You are. But... it also points out that in this respect the program is English biased. For instance, the 'other features' free text entry is often phrased in the language of the locality, which isn't strange given most people who'd own that disk. And the 'overview' is supposed to be only in the language of the locality, even if the dvd has a multi-langual back cover. So, I think there is a case for allowing the disk description to be in the language of the locality. Aaprt from the translation, IMO current rules should remain in effect. PLEASE NOTE this would still mean that for the disks Thodde is referring to, the description should be 'film', not 'film et supplements'. Nice new topic for the 'contribution rules' forum? I am not participating there, so is there somebody who could launch this issue there? | | | Eric

Well, I don't think you can generalise that so easily. For instance, the French translated 'roundabout' into something like 'point ronde' (or something similar), but only fanatics at their Academy want the French to call it now a 'giratoire'. AFAIK, most French are not won over to the new word. According to my sources (  ), 'week-end', 'business', 'cool', 'hamburger' etc. are well integrated into modern French. Although they use a different type of bread for their 'sandwich' The morale: yes, they like their own language, but who doesn't? As for refusing to talk English: do mind that until the last decennia foreign languages weren't given in school -- much like Germany, or the UK, or... for that matter. That's why the Dutch tend to excel in foreign languages, though Dutch people usually overestimate how much they mastered English, German or French  | | | Eric
