| | Posted: | | | | I just ordered the set, and the profile has 5 box sets within a boxset (normally not a concern) but each disc is then listed as a seperate entry - not a purchased set with 6 discs per set. From what I can tell the 6 discs per season are not in seperate containers
In adding the Farscape The Complete Series, I added 32 seperate "disc entries" into Profiler.
I was expecting 5-6 at most (1 complete season, 4 seasons, Bonus set).
Should I change this? If I do the resulting seperate 4 seasons would be changed as well.
PDH | | | Thanks.

| | Posted: | | | | NO, we deal with ORIGINAL release data for the Online. Now hopefully ( though I am doubtful) you will discover when you receive it that the Distributor pressed a completely new set of Discs with different Disc IDs from the exsiting data.
Look at I LOve Lucy Complete in my collection as an example. The Parent Profile for the Complete Series is in the Online, but the remainder of the data while you can see it in my collection, some of the information is different from the Actual Online like the Cover Art, because all that Paramount did was repackage what they had already released from Season sets to, in essence a stack of discs.

| | Posted: | | | | In this case the parent box has a UPC and contains all seasons in keeps cases which have a UPC and the archives which also has a unique UPC. Basically each season looks like it will be sold seperatly but is also available in one big box set.
Per the rules for TV series "Individual profiles for each disc may be submitted if desired, but this is not required." So the current setup of:
Parent Box UPC -> Season 1-4 Child profiles by UPC -> Disc ID Profile children for each season
Is allowed under the rules since the disc level profiles are child profiles of the season cases which have a unique UPC.

| | Posted: | | | | Looks much like the complete Twilight Zone box set, too. | | | If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.

Tom So if is not required, is it a first one to post a Parent Profile determines how it will be structured? Kinda seems arbitrary, prone to changes like I was proposing. I guess I am wondering why (except for the extra work & time) I haven't see this more often. I have 500+ (and probably added removed 200 more) DVDs/BluRays and this is the first time I've seen this setup. Hence my question here... Thanks. PDH | | | Thanks.

| | Posted: | | | | If you want to remove the individual disc profiles locally, you can, but do not remove them from the main db. I do have to thank A&E as they made this set easy to profile...the box has a UPC as does each individual season case...so we end up with a Parent Profile by UPC, Season Profiles by UPC and individual disc profiles by disc ID.
As a side note, I am currently adding the cast lists for these profiles. Season one is done, as is the first disc of season two. Watching the second disc tonight, so that profile should be up on Tuesday. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

No, whether or not there are individual disc level profiles, the parent will always be structured the exact same way. Since this is a complete series set, the parent will be blank and each season profile will contain full cast and crew. The individual disc profiles are what is optional. Quote:

Hence my question here... Being asked if you want to download the child profiles is a fairly new feature. Prior to it's addition to the program, the only way you knew if there were disc level profiles, is if you manually checked. So, if you didn't use disc level profiles, you never knew they were there. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

----- 2 Disc Level Profiles This is indeed what came down, I just was wondering why the disc level profiles were separate not part of the Season Profiles. That is how the others I have received were created. And as stated in the rules (see tkinnen's post) its is not required to do this so I could see people changing the season profiles as the discs have the same cover art. | | | Thanks.
