So if a way could be found of storing both titles and overviews on the same profile, it'd be much better than the current situation I think.

Way back when this was first being decided it had been my practice to include both overviews when they were present on the cover. That changed obviously after the new rules came down (again this is years ago), but if they were to allow it again I would have no problem with this. The title is trickier as there is no good place to put two different titles in the program as it is currently configured. I don't think using the original title field is a viable choice. I also don't see Ken putting in an extra title field for us crazy "officially" bilingual Canucks.

no problem for writing the bilangual synopsis from the back cover since our country was always officially bilingual the last time I've checked.

Except of course it is against the rules as they are currently written.

Back to the matter at hand, maybe this needs to move to the feature-request forum...if we can get enough Quebec-based Canadians on board to agree to replacing the Quebec rating with the Canada-wide one in profiler for French profiles. Then we would not be excluding the 1.5 million or so French-Canadians who live outside of Quebec.(

From a French Canadian perspective (moi), the way DVD Profiler has been designed "Bravo!".. Although I buy many discs in Quebec and Ontario (I am in Ottawa) this is what I usually do: If the title is French, I will make it entirely in french and contribute it to Canada (Quebec). IF the title is in English, I contribute it to Canada simple as that!

I know I am not the only one doing this because as i was transferring my database from Collectorz to Profiler, I have found many contribution already typed up correctly in French 

The only fit I have is TV and FILM rating.. seems that whoever makes the rating on those movies/tv series chose whatever they want grrrr 

In the defence of Canada, seems that our film rating system is tougher than in the US.. How many time I have seen movies bought in the US having "Not Rated" printed whilst in Canada they were 18 or even R ... go figure haha ;-)

So, I may have been the unwitting cause of some of this angst, being the smart-a** who spoke up when Ken was first asking about rating systems.

For RoC, there are actually three rating systems. There is a rating system for films, there is a rating system for Television, and sadly there is a rating system for videos. By videos, I mean (they mean) DVDs (among other things).The rating system for videos is about the same as the one for films, but with a slightly different set of logos. The problems arise when looking at television shows on DVD. The stickers used are, the ratings for videos, which are *not* at all the same as the ratings for television shows, but rather the same as for films.

The ratings stricture in the rules is in the "Film" section, which implies to me that the intent is to capture the rating of the content. It instructs us to use the rating on the cover, likely on the reasonable assumption that the rating on the cover will reflect the rating of the content.  I *believe* that the rating sticker represents the rating of all of the content, and not just the feature (so swearing in an extra could change the rating. *i think*). If the Canada locale were to use the rating sticker, then there should only be one rating system - "Video".

I am somewhat at a loss for a suggestion on how best to address this. In my local, I am ignoring the stickers when it is a TV show, but that is less than satisfactory ...

North,

Prob is that each provinces, in Canada, are independent regarding their decisions regarding 'culture'. There is indeed, as mentioned earlier, a rating for 'Film', 'TV' and 'Video' for Canada.. and the Quebec rating system. DVD Profiler actually have what is needed to rate properly a movie or TV series, however, sometimes the DVD printer seems to be horsing between rating standard... What  I do, is what I mentioned earlier, is I select the rating first then what ever Rating system used, ie: video, film or tv.
