| | Posted: | | | | In some of my DVD's its accepted to use "Widescreen Collection" (the Paramount ones). When a DVD is part of a series of DVD's with that same subscript it is accepted as an edition. I don't know if the same is true for this one but it doesn't look that way to me.
Not that i'm saying it's based on any rule; it's just something I notice and it may or may not clarify the situation to you :-) | | | My DVD's

| | Posted: | | | | I don't own this DVD, but if it was the case and I had to vote you just had to enter "Widescreen Presentation" and you get my "yes". I didn't vote on the poll since the option without the "A" is not there. |

| | Posted: | | | | Just look at the poll result, but I have to disagree with the voter. Widescreen is an edition this is what the rules say about this :
"The Edition field is for distinguishing between DVDs, and for indicating special versions and collections (for example The Criterion Collection, Widescreen, Full-Screen Edition). It's usually safe to use one of the built-in selections if appropriate. If you are using a non-standard description, take it from the DVD box, and ensure it will help distinguish between different releases of the same title." |

Are you suggesting that there is another release to distinguish the two? Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | No Skip, since I don't own the DVD. But, if the first criteria for using the edition field was for distinguish between release no Criterion or paramount or SWV release will use this field. But I don't want to turn this to a 10 page argument since this is not really a big deal for me. |

Skip Nuff said... But I would only use Widescreen (and the like) in the Edition field when the wording clearly indicates a 'collection' or 'edition', such as Paramount's "Widescreen Collection". In this case, I would be inclined towards no Edition but it surely sits in a gray zone. | | | | Last edited: by hevanw |

| | Posted: | | | | I voted for "A Widescreen Presentation" but if you decided not to put one at all I wouldn't mind that either. You don't have to put an edition if you don't want to. |
