I agree with SwissFilm. Since it's the "3D" version, that 3D disc takes precedence in the main profile and gets Region A.

The seperate child profile for the 2D disc can they be entered with No Region Coding.

Excuse me, but what?
The OP states that the 3D edition of Titanic is region free. But in the set is also included a region A coded 2D disc.
So the main attraction is region free, but not the accommodating 2D disc.
But you want to flip it around and state in the profile that the 3D disc is region A encoded while the region A is region free...?
That totally makes no sense whatsoever. That's just totally confusing.
If a disc is region free, it should say so. And isn't that why we have parent and child profiles?
IMO it doesn't matter either what it says on the cover, since the cover can be wrong.

Or... Katatonia inadvertently flipped the regions when typing his reply.  Problem solved.
Bad movie?  You're soaking in it!

If you do this, it's my strict opinion that you have to make a parent profile first for all of the discs.

Except parent profiles for multiple copies of the same film are not an option, regardless of your opinion.

Yep, that's exactly what I did tweeter... I accidentally flipped them in my reply.

Calm down Mika, geez talk about overreacting. The original post has been corrected for your pleasure.

I would go with the most restrictive region code, in this case A. I would do the same even if it was just a disc with bonus materials. IMO all discs should be playable in the region of the main profile.

We had a vote about this back in 2008. Big surprise that nothing came out of it though
