My understanding is the Disc IDs rule covering dual-sided discs is not applicable in a box set situation, because it is not a single title spanning both sides.

The box set rules clearly states that sets containing 2 different films, one on each side of a dual-sided disc, are to be entered as individual Disc ID profiles in line with standard Contribution Rules (hence, Side A for Disc ID).

This looks wrong to me:

Why? If this is a child profile for the "B"-side of a dual-sided disc, then this seems perfectly fine to me.

And this even more so:

That certainly *does* look wrong, indeed.

For a profile to have just a Side B without a Side A would, to me, be lika having a continuation without having a beginning.

Yes, it's continuation, but the beginning really isn't missing, the beginning simply is to be found in the child profile for Side A. That's not much different from child profiles for TV show discs: the child profile for the second disc has, say, a disc description of "Episodes 5-8", and that's a continuation from the previous child profile, for the first disc, which has "Episodes 1-4". There again, there's still a "beginning" and a "continuation", even though they're on different discs, different child profiles. I don't really see how this is different: still a beginning and a continuation, but on different sides of the disc and therefore on different child profiles.

So having a child profile for the A-side of the disc with a Disc ID in the "Side A" section, and a child profile for the B-side of the disc with a Disc ID in the "Side B" section, doesn't strike me as odd at all. Just to be clear: I certainly do see your point, and your logic, but I can also see how others would enter it the way you just showed - there's some logic in there as well. Again, if you're profiling side B of the disc, and our disc section specifically has a field for Side B, then why wouldn't we list it there?

All in all, as is so often the case, it'll be hard to get a unanimous verdict on which method is "right" and which is "wrong".

I've been putting the disc info on the side the disc is on myself. For one thing it more accurately describes the disc info for a child profile box set. Plus it's an indicator of where to find the movie. I don't mind if others put everything on side A, but to me it's more precise to show the side. As others have noted, side A is still covered; it's just that it's covered by whatever happens to be on that side of the disc.
