Taking credits from subtitles is absolutely valid, and whomever told you that was not valid is incorrect.  I've done it many, many times and submitted it and never had issues.  You're taking the credits from the actual film credits, just translated into your language.

However, I would not use "credited as" unless they have a different common name via the CLT.  That may be what you are doing and I am misunderstanding your phrasing there.

The film in question is "I'm a Cyborg, But That's Ok," which is a Park Chan-wook film.

So, the original credits would give his name as 박찬욱

His family name is Park, his personal name is Chan-wook.

If the subtitled credits give his name as "Chan-wook Park" that is can be read as incorrect, since it is translocating the names for Western naming conventions.  However, it can be argued that listing it this way is correct, since this conveys the information of which name is family and which is personal to the Western viewing audience.

There is no rule about how to handle Asian names in Profiler.  And checking the CLT tells us that he is listed both ways (Park Chan-wook and Chan-wook Park) in profiles of the same film.  Personally, I would list him as Park Chan-wook.

I'm using him as an example, but this would apply to anyone credited in the film.

If, of course, the name that is being given in the subtitles is different than just a romanized and/or translocated version of the name, then that would make use of the credited as tool.

Just my take on things, obviously.

But I've been told that Ken has stated that First, Middle and Last Name is to be treated positional, not cultural, e.g. what comes first goes into the First Name field, etc.

So if the credit is Park Chan-wook we enter it Park//Chan-wok; if it is Chan-wook Park we enter it Chan-wook//Park, and let the CLT determine which is the common name.

I agree that it should be treated as positional.  That would eliminate a lot of issues.  However, I would argue that if the actual credit reads 박찬욱 (Park Chan-wook) but the subtitles give it as Chan-wook Park, it should still be entered as Park Chan-wook.  If Asian cast or crew work in American or European films and their names are translocated in those credits (like Park's film Stoker, which I don't have so can't check how his name is credited there) then enter it as given on screen.  After all, Profiler rules have always been to enter credits as given - though we are translating the credit into English, we should still attempt to preserve it as close to the actual on-screen credit as possible.

credit : FRANCOIS BERLEAND = François Berléand
Invelos credit : Francois Berleand , which is totally different from "credits as given"

No, that is decidedly not different: that's an exact representation of that on-screen credit. Quoting Ken Cole:

Quote:
Since "é" has a corresponding "É", simple capital conversion is all that's required.  If the character used in the all-caps name is "É", convert it to "é" as needed to create mixed case.  If the character used in all-caps is "E", convert it to "e" as needed to create mixed case.

You can keep saying that it feels wrong for you, but infinitely repeating that doesn't actually make it wrong for DVD Profiler purposes. As always, you can do whatever you like in your local database, but for the online database, É=é and E=e. And yes, that's an accurate interpretation of the on-screen credit. It may not be *your* preferred interpretation, but it's DVD Profiler's interpretation, and that's all that matters here.

But you are probably so clever that you know things about French language that French people do not know...

It's not about me, or my interpretation, or what I'd like, just like it's not about you, your interpretation, or what you'd like. If Invelos says that, when we're talking about entering cast/crew into the DVD Profiler database, we're to convert É to é  E to e, then that's the only thing that matters with regards to Invelos's database. It's really no more difficult than that: neither mine, your or anyone else's alledged "expertise" makes any difference.
