I just want to point something out and ask peoples opinions about box sets and how some people are breaking them down to each and every disc.  They buy lets say a Family Guy Season and instead of just entering it as a seasons collection, they enter disc 1, disc 2, disc 3, etc…etc.  Are they doing this just to make the collection “look” bigger then it actually is, or are they detailing the seasons discs because it’s necessary for them to find episodes available on the separate discs?  Personally I think its silly, but that’s just my opinion (for what it’s worth).  I don’t mean to start and argument about it.  I just wonder why some people feel it’s necessary.  You look at their collections saying “wow” they have 2,000 (or whatever) DVD’s; that must have taken them a long time.  Then you look again and they actually have about half that because they are fudging the numbers.  I have a few bonus discs listed separately like "The Making of 300 Exclusive Bonus DVD" from Best Buy, "The Godfather DVD Collection Bonus Materials", "Indiana Jones: Bonus Material" that came in the box set, but I think people go overboard with the breakdowns here.  Is it just me?  If this is so, then I’m sorry for bringing up the subject.  But I was just interested in hearing from other DVD Profiler users on the subject.

I break it down because "The Batman Collection" actually doesn't tell me anything. What's in it? Batman 1-2? Batman 1-4? Batman 1-5?

Every movie has it's own profile even if two movies are on the same disc (happened with the Addams Family / Values).

TV shows are entered in the form they are packed (usually full or half seasons). I don't break it down to episodes.

I don't number or count discs within a box set. But for many reasons I prefer to have the info from the individual discs available to me.

I do it because I want to know what is on each disc episode-wise.  I do not count each disc, however, I count only master profiles (single movie profiles are master profiles, btw), so a TV boxset only counts for one profile just like any movie profile.

That is exactly why I do it... and also number it the same way.

Call me crazy, but I treat box sets of films and TV series differently.

Box set with several movies:
    Separate profile for each title - number each title/child profile - no number to parent profile

Box set with TV series:
    Separate profile for each disc - only number the parent profile - no number to child profiles

Why?  I want to know how many different "programs" I have, so a box set like "Sam Peckinpah's The Legendary Westerns" counts as 5 (since it contains 5 films) but a TV series like "Grey's Anatomy: Season One" counts as 1 (since it's a coplete season).

That is how I do it as well.

That makes total sense to me.  That's a great way to do it.
