| | Posted: | | | | At the moment I'm looking at a number of DVDs of BBC television series.
For a number of those BBC DVD is entered as one of the studios because the BBC logo with the word DVD behind it is on the packaging.
I've tried to find information on the internet, but have been unable to find BBC DVD as an actual company, only BBC, BBC Worldwide, BBC Video, BBC America, etc.
Also, the term BBC DVD is not in the copyright section.
So my question is, is there a company called BBC DVD and if this is not the case should it be included in the studios field? |

| | Posted: | | | | BBC DVD is not a company name. The companies used by the BBC are either 'BBC Worldwide' or more recently '2 entertain Video'. The product may be a 'BBC DVD' but that's not the company that released or made the DVD.
Oh, and if it's for Studios it should just be 'BBC' or 'BBC Television'. | | | | Last edited: by GreyHulk |

| | Posted: | | | | This affects others as well, for example 'ITV DVD' and 'Channel 4 DVD' too
I'm very much inclined to agree that it's treated the same as 'Disney DVD' |
