The parent of the boxset of the TV series is a Digipak with the Slip Cover checked.

Now, what does each child profile receive?

Digipak only?

Digipak with Slip Cover checked?

Thanks, Jim

This is one digipak in a slip cover.

The series in question is "Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Season Four".

Seasons 1-3, the children have Digipak with no slip cover checked.

Smallville has the same thing, the children have Digipak with no slip cover checked.

I have no position. my Green Helmeted friend, but I am curious as to what backs up your statement. I can't find anything that supports it...perhaps Ken has made a comment I missed.

The child profiles do have a case. They're in the Digipak. That has a slip cover so IMHO the box should be checked.

Not really. If you have a digipak with three movies, you have one case and three movies. The case belongs to the parent profile. The movies does not have a case of their own.

We use this logic for cover scans, per the rules, so it should apply to case type as well.  To do otherwise just seems illogical to me.

With DVDProfiler being designed the way it is, and as long as the rules encourage the creation of fake profiles, I agree that this is the way to handle the issue.

However, I think the proper solution is to admit that the current design of the profiles are fundamentally flawed, and that it needs to be redesigned in a way that will remove the need for creating a new profile for a disc that was previously released as an individual title. There should never be any need for multiple profiles for any individual Disc ID in the database.

But... before I go into a full rant here, I acknowledge that this is a topic that really belongs in the feature request forum, and I'll probably write a proper suggestion there one day. I guess I just wanted to remind everybody about the fact that these fake child profiles is just a dirty hack to work around limitations or design flaws of the database.

I have no idea where you are getting this from.  I have quite a few sets where the initial release is exactly what the original poster described...multiple discs inside a single case inside a slipcover.  Most current TV sets that I own are like this and the discs have never been released as individual titles.

Agreed Martian.

Otherwise I too am confused or maybe i am not by the comment.
