| | Posted: | | | | If you have a region 1 DVD that has both American and Canadian ratings printed on the cover should you contribute it to both regions or is this just unnecessary duplication of data. |

| | Posted: | | | | Since such a title should have Profile for US Locality and one or more for Canadian Localities (English or Quebec) then the answer would be dependent on locality. In your case, being in the UK, Nick, I would accept whatever is already there. After all you are in Region 2 UK

| | Posted: | | | | I find that most my movies has both ratings (US & Canadian)... pretty much normal from what I have noticed. So like Skip said... where I am in the US I would us the US profile... if I was in Canada I would use/make the Canadian profile. And as Skip said... if I was elsewhere I would use whatever is there. If both there I would pick the most complete looking profile.  | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | I always use the US locality for titles with a single release across North America instead of the Canada ones, even though I am Canadian. I think it is a waste of space to have duplicate profiles in the db simply because of a difference in rating & srp. I only use the Canada or Canada (Quebec) localites for titles that are clearly meant only for here (a Canadian Rating only, or Bilingual/French-only covers). But that is just me... |

You could use where the company was based to decide if USA or Canada for dvds bought via Internet. | | | | Paul |

There are many online (and bricks+mortar) stores selling imported DVDs. I've seen (especially Asian) movies listed as all sorts of localities in the database. It is however, an option for differentiating when there is uncertainty I suppose. Searching other stores may also prove useful. | | | | Adelaide Movie Buffs (info on special screenings, contests, bargains, etc. relevant to Adelaideans... and contests/bargains for other Aussies too!) |
