| | Posted: | | | | A simple question about profiling Digibooks: Which case type should be used? So far all the Digibooks in my collection have the case type "Other" in the profile. But when trying to change the case type for the Blu-ray profile of "Star Wars: The Clone Wars: The Complete Season One" (UPC 883929094561) I got two "No" votes saying they'd prefer "Digipak". In think we can all agree the best solution would be an addition of "Digibook" in the list of case types, but until Ken does this, we should have a standard for profiling these types of packaging. In case you don't know what Digibooks are, here are two examples:   | | | | Michael |

| | Posted: | | | | I have no issue using Digipak for this type of case. It looks like a Digipak with the booklet glued to the packaging. But by the way the poll is going, I'll be outvoted for sure  | | | View my collection at http://www.chriskepolis.be/home/dvd.htm

| | Posted: | | | | That looks different then any digibook I ever seen. I am used to the ones used for the Smallville seasons sets. For ones like Smallville I would use digipak... but the one above looks more like custom | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | I use digipak for my personal db but custom when contributing, saves me the agony. And I never vote on those changes... | | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 |

| | Posted: | | | | it's clearly not a Digipak, the only possibility right now is CUSTOM. Pete the ones you are referring to are indeed Digipaks. Digibooks have not yet been added by Ken, but i would suspect that they will soon enough as their use increases.
But fior right now there not even a question, Custom. BTW, what is this case type Other, there is and never has been such an option. The option is Custom, until Digibooks are added.

That's exactly how I see it. But since I got a couple of "No" for my change to "Custom", I wanted to make sure by this poll. | | | | Michael |

| | Posted: | | | | It looks to me like a digipak that has a book glued to it. Still a digipak. | | | | "This movie has warped my fragile little mind." | | | | Last edited: by gardibolt |

That is something I can't comment on... as I never seen a case like this before... and looking at the pictures provided all I see is what looks like hard cover books and DVDs... not way to see how the discs are housed for me to make any other opinion then custom. | | | | Pete |

I guess you haven't switched to Blu-ray, yet - otherwise you should know these cases.  Anyway, here you can find some additional shots for the title in question. | | | | Michael |

| | Posted: | | | | nope... I too poor!  OK... I can see how some people would want these to be added as digipaks now... but in my opinion the addition of the book changes it a bit too much... and I would call this custom until the time a digibook can be added to the program. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | The big problem as I see it, Pete, is that nobody ever wants to make use of Custom and wait for the program to catch up any more than they are willing to accept Other under Audio if ther particular language isn't there. In short nobody is ever going to be completely happy. I believe warner started this latest silly packaging game when they released released Bonnie & Clyde on BD. for now you are right is a simply a CUSTOM cover until Ken decides to add the Digibook. The only question i ahve is....what are they going to do to us next. Skip  | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!
