| | Posted: | | | | I'm considering doing an update for a 4-disc set which contains 24 episodes from a long-running series. It's not a season set, but rather a "best of" set. How should I list the discs in the Disc Info area? I've looked at a few other "best of" sets and don't really see a consensus. The episodes are not numbered in the set. Each has a title and an air date. All 4 discs have episodes on them. The rules for TV say: Quote:
Label each of the discs containing episodes of the series. If there is a separate disc of extras with no episodes, use the standard "Bonus Materials" description. Option 1 Disc 1 Disc 2 Disc 3 Disc 4 Option 2 Episodes 1 Episodes 2 Episodes 3 Episodes 4 Option 3 Episodes 1-6 Episodes 7-12 Episodes 13-18 Episodes 19-24 Option 4 Episodes (Part 1) Episodes (Part 2) Episodes (Part 3) Episodes (Part 4) | | | ...James

| | Posted: | | | | It would all depend on what the disc says. I have the Blu-ray disc of Heroes season two. Each disc states: Heroes: Season 2: disc One, Heroes: season 2: disc Two, Heroes: season 2: disc Three, Heroes: season 2: disc Four. |

It would all depend on what the disc says. I have the Blu-ray disc of Heroes season two. Each disc states: Heroes: Season 2: disc One, Heroes: season 2: disc Two, Heroes: season 2: disc Three, Heroes: season 2: disc Four. And then you would put "Disc One", "Disc Two" and so on? How does that comply with the rules' instruction to "label each of the discs containing episodes of the series"? How have you done that by simply putting "Disc One"? James' example is a tad different because it's a "best of" set, but for 'Heroes: Season 2', I really don't feel this is allowed. Certainly for a regular 'Heroes' season set, "Episodes x-y" would be the way to go - that's simply what the rules tell us to do. IMHO, there really is never (even for these "best of" sets) any point in just stating the disc number: that is already provided in the "#" column of the "Discs" section. There's really no need to repeat it, while there's more interesting information left to track, like that the discs contains "Episodes 13-18". So option #3 it is. | | | | Last edited: by T!M |

| | Posted: | | | | "Disc One" is what we put in the title of the profile, but not into the disc description (in the discs section).
I'D simply number them as we do with any other season disc. | | | Karsten

How would you give Heroes Season 2 an Episode number? Each disc does not state what episodes are on them. The back of the slip case gives only the title of the episodes and if you don't know how many episodes are in season 1 you could be using the wrong episode numbers. In this case I would go by what each disc states. This is how I have it:
Heroes: Season2
Heroes: Disc One
Four Months Later
Lizards
Kindred
The Kindness of Strangers
Heroes: Disc Two
Fight or Flight
The Line
Out of Time
Four Months Ago
Heroes: DiscThree
Cautionary Tales
Truth & Consequences
Heroes: Disc Four

| | Posted: | | | | The rules tells you what to do if there is no episode numbers... you number them yourself counting the episodes in the set. I could be wrong here... but I think some people are confused about what is being talked about here. We are talking about in the disc tab... not in the Title, overview or cast & Crew... See where I circled in red...  That shows How it should be done... even for Best of releases | | | | Pete |
