I have a release of public domain films.  Some of the films are obviously from prints that were cut for TV - and are lacking the film credits.  The credits have been trimmed off. 

I have located a streaming copy with the credits intact on the internet. 

At least for my local I'm going to copy the credits from the more complete streaming video.

Should I submit the credits this way?  Or should I submit them marked as 'uncredited' because some dummy at Passport Video decided to use these prints instead of the more complete ones with the credits?

I had a simlar problem.
Perhaps you want to read the opinions:

From the poll the opinions differ on this theme.

The thing is that we create profiles on disc-level and not on film-level.
So for your disc the people that do not appear in the credits (of this specific disc) are in fact uncredited and have to be treated that way.

I agree... this is a release of the movie without credits, so it should be handled according to the rules as uncredited cast

Me 2, but we will lose nearly all crew credits. For some rare cases it would be good to have an "uncerdited" option for those, too.

Personallly I think the uncredited crew should be expanded to allow for people who won awards, such as Oscars, Emmys, Grammy's etc. But the data has to come from those awards official sites or a database run by them.

For example the song writers for Born Free won an Oscar for that song, but aren't credited in the film credits itself. But can be found on the Oscars searchable database website.

Not according to Ken, as he has publicly stated that they actually can be listed from an external-but-official source (and I'd say a copy of the same film with the credits intact qualifies as an official source).

This, of course, leads to the strange result, that the "uncredited" cast hast to be marked that way, while the, otherwise disallowed, uncredited crew will not be distinguishable from the credited. ...     
But since it's an official statement by Ken, I will not argue about it.

That is indeed a strange aspect of that ruling - it would have made much more sense to not tick (uncredited) for the cast either. I've never understood this discrepancy, but hey: as long as we get the film's actual cast and crew in the profile, where they rightfully belong, I'll take it.
