| | Posted: | | | | Since 3.6, we can now check DVD and Blu-Ray together. However the "Media Type" condition does not show "DVD and Blu-Ray" in the drop down list.
Is there a way to check both are set, or do we have to wait for an update from Ken?
Thanks |

While Ken's method is correct, I'd reverse it and make the Blu-ray the primary listing, with a mention that a DVD is part of the release as well. Why? Because the main release is normally Blu-ray (based on the cover art). But, as mentioned in other threads, opening up checking DVD and Blu-ray has opened up a whole can of worms with regard to report generation. For example, the DVD will have different region codes than the Blu-ray disc. Pretty much all report programs have a single location for the region codes. Also, only one location for the DVD/Blu-ray logo. You can't create two report pages from the single profile. The rule doesn't force profiles for Blu-ray/DVD combo releases to be like releases for TVShows (parent/child). Nothing stops you from submitting such a configuration, but it isn't required. I have to fix the report I contributed because the DVD region codes are on top of the Blu-ray region codes. I get the Blu-ray logo with DVD region codes - ouch! There is a textual area on my report that has garbled text because both the DVD and Blu-ray conditional text shows through - ouch! There are other possible issues as well. | | | Mr Video Productions

| | Posted: | | | | Well, I forgot to subscribe to my own topic and I missed the answer over a month ago.
Thanks to both, I will play with the panels and see what I can get. |

| | Posted: | | | | So is there a reason why BLU-ray/DVD is not an option in the filters?
I'm tempted to go into all of my profiles and manually switch them to Blu-ray so I can print a report with all of my Blu-ray discs Including the ones that come with a DVD copy as well.
Or is there an easier way to do this? |

| | Posted: | | | | The check marks in the filter are three-way.
The gray default is essentially an ignore.
Click once to make the check mark dark and the field becomes required.
Click again and the check mark is gone - the field becomes a "not".
To filter for all Blu-ray (including Combos), click to make the Blu-ray check dark and leave the others alone. | | | | Registered: February 10, 2002 |
