Hi to all

In a contribution I made somebody voted no because running time wrong, check the disc. Now my question, how to check this. I have NO blu-ray drive in my PC, can only see the film on TV in the upper floor. Must I see the film with a clock to see how long it lasts or what? I made surely over 100 contributions until today without checking the running time. If there would be an easy way I would do it, but I don't see how.

Hi

OK, there is just my experience if you contribute not the full film details with all informations it stays like this forever in the database as nobody contributes the missing part. With blockbusters no problem, but with films not so known, I find so many in the database incomplete and that nerves me also as a user when I enter a film and it is only half of it here. I find, a contribution has to be complete or not, but if nobody does contributions DVD Profiler is not half the worth of what it is now. For a normal user it is important he gets as much informations as possible and this is unfortunatley often not the case. I had about 100 DVD, each had the front image but no backcover and the films were in the database mostly 3 years and longer and still not complete. So I began for the profit of all doing the contribution of all those backcovers and so on. When a film is declined just because a voter knows the real good running time, why not give a yes so all is for others in the database and then correct the running time himself.

When I give a NO vote I immediately make a better or correcting contribution. Only NO but doing nothing is not the solution to have a good and complete database. Vote no, but then do it better immediately, ok?

BTW: The title is a German release: Die Legende der Wächter 3D: Blu-ray 3D + Blu-ray Edition and I have in there 93 minutes also it should be 97 minutes.

yes IMDB lists it as 97 minutes USA / IMAX  101 min ..

and I'm curious to know .. the silk screen dvd(BD)  lists the runnig time at 97 min  and the cover art rear shows 97 minutes .. how did you get 93 min  without a PC program attached .. ??? 

thanks ...

In general:
If no runtime is currently entered in the profile, you are free to use the one from the cover.
But if a runtime is already entered, you should only change it if you verified the actual runtime on the disc.

This is exactly how I see it.

The running time is runtime of the disc itself. Might this niclude open/close credits, yes and I believe it should. But that is not what we use. if the disc itself says the runtime is 93 minutes, notice  I said the disc itself, not the back cover or ANY other source PER THE RULES.. Then 93 minutes is the runtime per the Rules, if you make a different determination based upon some standard of your own then you are wrng, you could enter 97 locally and not contribute it. The Rules do not permit you to sit with a stopwatch and determine the runtime by your or my standards and different filmmakers do have differing opinions over what they consider runtime. +
Don't impose your opinion or your standard over the data that WE use and do not impose your own standards when the Rules do not provide for YOUR standard, even though some of us might agree.
