Should not the cast and crew credits for a profile with multiple films be separated by a divider per film, not merged together?

Are you talking about a boxset as defined by the Rules. Or are you talking about a multi-film, single-sided disc.

The BD I bought, I had a coupon from Deep Discount, Capote/In Cold Blood is a two disc set.
Yes, I know I'm double dippping, but the transfer has been rated pretty good and in the case of In Cold Blood, I know the area quite well and was actually visiting friends in the are about about time it happened.

I would have created the profile as a box set with each film as a child profile. But when I down loaded the exiting profile both films were in one profile which I don't have any big problem with, but the cast land crew list for the films were merge as a single lists with no indication as to who belonged to what film.

My friend, I ask again. Is this a double-sided disc with a film on each side (boxset), or is a dual-film single-sided release. If it is single-sided I would setup the Profile using a divider for aech film. This was not adequately addressed in the rules because at that time, single-sided miulti-film "sets" were relatively rare. But over the years and with the advent of BD they are becoming increasingly common and an issue. The only way to properly handle them under the present system is via dividers.

It should be profiled as a box set. There should be no cast and crew in the parent profile.

Only when there are more than one film per disc and side can you use dividers to enter the cast/crew.

It is two discs, one film per disc. Regardless, if more than one film per profile the cast and crew data should be separated by dividers. As it was done, IMHO it was wrong.

I agrre with KinoNiki, that is how i do them. I loves box sets I have over 2,200 of them. And many more that need a fix, left over from before we had box sets.

I was just trying get some peoples attention as to how a set like this should how be done.

I have found the the two disc in the online db have set my profile as a box set with the two films as children.

When I get the order I will have to check the everything. But as always move things from my ordered list to my owned list by type in the UPC if it isn't the same I'll find out.
As well as the child profiles, I move them by inserting the disc in the PC and if they are the same or not I'll find out. I don'y blind tranfer things as thre are many profiles for the same title and can easily get the wrong profile.

Guess what. Deep Discount didn't have in stock after all and and since it is a discontinued item, canceled the order. Hey, I wonder if my coupon is still good. I thought i could pick up a couple of good titles cheap. So this has all been academic.

You are correct.  For a profile of two films, on a single side of a disc, you treat them like a TV series using dividers for each film.
