Greetings:

Occasionally, I will purchase a TV set that isn't listed as a box set with child profiles.  (For example, today I picked up The Simpson season 17 on Blu on the final season of Parks and Rec.  Neither of which had child profiles.)  I almost immediately add the child profiles, because I track when I watch them.  I rarely, however, get to go back and fill in even the most basic of information (usually because I have more to watch or laundry to do or food to cook or some other nonsense).

How little information is too little to submit for a disc?  Should I just submit what I have?

I think you need a UPC or disc id, a title, and a release date.  Possibly some video information.  Very little is required for a new contribution.

As far as I can remember, Production Year is needed too, while release date isn't.

In this case I copy all relevant data from the parent profile and change the title and set the runtime to zero. This is sufficient.

However little info is usually good, but I had a TV season set I was working on and contributed the first half of cast and crew, with a note that I was doing so in hopes of not losing the info due to my computer dying and erasing stuff. That was denied with a note saying denied for being incomplete. Thankfully I was able to finish the season audit before my comp quit completely.

I'm going to follow AiAustria's lead and copy the most basic information, which is kind of easy.  (I took a second to look at the software.  How about that?)

Bigdaddy ... I happened upon this nice little feature yesterday:  http://www.invelos.com/Forums.aspx?task=viewtopic&topicID=807816

Maybe you could use that as sort of a save as you go type deal?

Sweet, I'll try to remember that when this new comp. starts failing. Thankfully I now have trusty comp. for the near future.

I've got lots of DiscID/Child Profiles to upload.  Get ready.
