Hi,

when I use the filter setting "Formats, Media Type HD DVD" I can only see my HD DVDs that are HD DVD only. The HD DVD combo releases are filtered out (i.e. Superman Returns, Unleashed and Miami Vice and many others).

This is not what I would expect, because these HD DVD combo releases are true HD DVDs, too, and therefore should also apply to the Media Type setting HD DVD filter selection.

A HD DVD combo has the HD DVD content on one side and the DVD content of the same movie on the other side (so called flippers).

Can you please provide us with a fix for this issue?

Thank you :-)

Probably because they are not HD 'only', and the DVD side is the primary side program wise.

Hmm, could be that this happens if the filter checks for the DVD = true first. Maybe the filter should first try to filter the HD DVD = true flags :-). I guess this could easily be fixed in a future release (hopefully :-).

I have similar issues if I want to filter out all non-16:9 widescreen movies by deselecting all but the Widescreen video format. All of my HD DVDs in the list, too :-).

When using/checking the HD DVD Format filter, I get all HD DVD's and HD DVD Combo discs. (All 16 Combo discs I own show up with my other HD DVD's.)

Make sure you have both the DVD and HD DVD "Media type" boxes checked when your editing your Combo disc profiles.  Only the HD DVD filter box needs to be checked to filter them.

Edit:  Also, if you want to show or make a list of just your HD DVD Combo discs, check both the DVD and HD DVD boxes in the filter.
