| | Posted: | | | | Good evening, Sirs.
When contributing a Box Set, should the Country of Origin always be the one
of the earliest feature release in the set?
As it is specified for the Production Year?

| | Posted: | | | | I guess I would leave the CoO out of the boxset-profile altogether, if there are individual releases with different CoOs in it. I'd include it for those individual releases only.
But I certainly wouldn't vote against a contribution with the CoO being that of the earliest production year. | | | Mika

| | Posted: | | | | As for box sets, I personally leave it blank. But like Draxen I would not vote against one being entered. Rory  | | | DVD Profiler for iOS as of 3/5/2013

| | Posted: | | | | I agree with Draxen and Rory.
For the boxset profile only use the data that all childprofiles have in common. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | I agree... I would also leave it blank in the parent profile. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | Another one who leaves it blank and prefers it that way.
IIRC the poll on this preferred leaving it blank but with a 'quite large minority' saying only put it in if all the contents have the same CoO.
FWIW I've seen a few like this added recently that *I* wouldn't have put in there but I didn't (as some have said already) vote No because it's not actually against the Rules | | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong |

| | Posted: | | | | I only put it in if all the contents are from the same CoO (Star Wars 1-4) being an example. Else I too will leave it blank. Perhaps an addition to the Box Set Rules would be in order. Box Sets NO CoO to be added. Add the CoO to the Child Profiles Only. If its set out, it can't be argued against...well that's debatable.

| | Posted: | | | | Thank you, Sirs.
May I append another question regarding Box Sets, please?
According to the Contribution Rules "Subtitles, Audio & Disc Features
are not included on the box set profile".
What is the reason that of all Video Formats are not excluded?

| | Posted: | | | | Because there is an entry required to Video field, or at least used to be, I haven't checked in a long time. It was or is a shortcoming, just don't enter ANY specific data relative to AR. The Contribution should telly you whether or not you still have to eneter something in the video field. In a perfect world we would not enter any video data for boxsets, but sometimes the world isn't perfect.

| | Posted: | | | | Like Skip says, the program used to auto-reject/disallow submissions without a Video Format so we had to put one in even though it would make more sense not to.
However it is (was?) not necessary to add an aspect ratio so that field should always be left blank and only the P&S/FF/WS/16:9 Enchanced boxes should be used (more than one if the contents have some FF and some WS, for example) | | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong |

You' ve got to decide at least between NTSC and PAL. If there is not even one Box Set out there containing NTSC and PAL - content, it would be plausible to not exclude the whole Video Formats section in the rules. Quote:

Aspect Ratio never, but P&S/FF/WS/16:9-data always ?! That is inconsequent, and it would be more inconsequent to not enter multiple AudioTracks/Subtitles then as well. | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played.
