What is written correctly in one nation might not be correct in another - color vs. colour for example. I think the answer is evident if we have a zone1 US or a zone2 UK edition. In all countries teachers can say if there is a spelling mistake or not. Since DVDs are by region/locality, I do not find much value in your argument. | | | | Images from movies |

| | Posted: | | | | So far I always copy the typos , tho it makes me shiver. I also suggest that the rules should get a small change here, things that are clearly wrong, for example Christian Bayle instead of Christian Bale, we should be allowed to correct that. just my 2 cents  Donnie | | | | www.tvmaze.com |

Since DVDs are by region/locality, I do not find much value in your argument. That is a good point. I was only using this an example. DarklyNoon gives a better example, and one that "makes me shiver" too. If an actor's name is spelled wrong, I don't believe the region or locality would alter their name. But...I could be wrong again! If the rules change I will be very happy but until then I will to missspell de oberview az wrote!  |

| | Posted: | | | | Just my personal opinion.... but I personally just feel our collection program should match what we are actually collecting. So I believe if there is a typo in the overview... it should show for that in the overview of the program as well. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | Well... we differ there... As the name of the program shows this is a DVD Collection program. I am collecting DVDs. So it does make a difference to me personally. | | | | Pete |

It is a very poor program to collect WII DVDs, navigation system DVDs, data DVDs, but it works fine to collect movies on blu-rays, and even on VHS, with custom collections. So, the name of the program... | | | | Images from movies |

| | Posted: | | | | I will just post here what I just posted in the other thread... Funny... not according to Invelos. Check out the main page... http://www.invelos.com/ What does it say there? DVD Collection Software for the DVD and Blu-ray enthusiast. (Right at the very top of the browser). Matter of fact the main page for the program does not even mention movies. Just because YOU see it strictly as a movie collection software does not mean everyone else does too... and does not mean that is what was meant by Invelos for that matter. All the collection programs (which is what this is per Invelos' main page) I ever used documented everything accurate to what it was collecting... errors and all. As I believe it should. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | Personally I collect DVDs. Many times the actual movie is a bonus to me. The Nightmare Before Christmas Ultimate Collector's DVD Set is a perfect example. I've never even taken the movie out of the box!   (truth be told I've never actually seen the movie  but had to have the set) While there are no doubt those who are interested in the movies on the DVDs there are also those of us who are interested in the special packaging, collectible busts, memorabilia, etc. If I were just interested in the movies I wouldn't have this:  or even this  (I gotta admit - the watch is pretty cool) I know I'm going to buy this one as well:  I may never watch it but I love the Bender head! It will look great next to my Stewie head from the Family Guy set  The software no doubt attracts all types of collectors. Some are movie buffs, some are just collectors who, when they see a number on a spine, must have the entire collection! It's one reason we see so many heated debates IMO. What's important (or even critical) to some of us doesn't even matter to others.  |

| | Posted: | | | | I am in the same boat as Rick. Thanks for posting the Bender head, I will have to go and find it now...wait...what Stewie head? | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

Nice. The overview is printed on the teeth ??? Seriouly, I understand that people may be interested in that type of object, but if someone offered me such a thing, I would quickly put the disc in a standard keep case. As for my movies, I watched them all in the few days following the purchase. | | | | Images from movies |

| | Posted: | | | | That's the one. Got it on a Deal of the Day for $80.00(ish).
It's "freakin sweet" actually. I was impressed with it when it arrived. Nicer than I thought it would be. It's huge! a LOT bigger then I expected. That's probably what makes it so cool. |
