Personally, I think it'd make sense to prefer using the DVD info largely because in the BD combo pack, DVD is the secondary format. I usually buy Blu-rays nowadays and rarely use disc-level profiles, but I wouldn't mind having the DVD info. Would this really affect anything other than case type and cover art? This ^ Also if I buy a combo-set (and also want the DVD profiles) and the DVD-profiles has the DVD cover art, I can just copy the cover art from the BR profiles and paste it to the DVD-profiles. If I buy the DVD-only package, and the profiles has the BR cover art, I'm screwed - no where to find the DVD cover art. So DVD-only makes more sense to me. |

| | Posted: | | | | Ok. Maybe I misunderstood something. I was thinking on individual packaged profiles (without upc) inside the box. But I guess I'm not thinking clearly right now. Too tired. But I don't care. I'm still for the DVD-only option. Better with consistency than lottery. |

If a decision would be made based on format, the equitable thing to do is to go with the format that affects the most users. | | | HDTV: 52" Toshiba Regza 52XV545U AVR: Onkyo TR-707

| | Posted: | | | | It is optional to add disc level profiles other than the main format. If you have a BR/DVD combo the DVD is optional. So by adding the BR cover art to disc level profiles of the DVD's. You have locked out the cover art for DVD where it is not an option. |

| | Posted: | | | | To add a little more to my thinking, when you buy a combo set, you are buying a combination of multiple items packaged into one set. In the case of a blu-ray/DVD combo, you are buying a combination of the blu-ray and DVD releases. Each of those individual releases, if they exist, should take priority as they are the release for that format. The combo should be a merging of the two and should not take priority over the individual sets. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

Not if the discs are in their own cases. And the same can be said for the combo users if they are in their own cases. Either way if they are in their own cases someone is screwed (if they don't have a scanner like I don't). | | | | Pete |

For this reason I am for the DVD images being used on the DVD's in VD/DVD combos where this condition exists. I buy a lot of these sets and it is easy enough to copy the BD images to the DVD. However IMO there is no way to enforce it without a rule change. So we are in the status quo of first come first server until the program is changed so alternate images can be contributed. |

| | Posted: | | | | I am still strongly of the opinion that first come first serve is the best solution for such a situation. At least until Ken comes up with a program change to let everyone have exactly what is in their collection.
It is more then the cover that can be different...
Cover
case type
possibly overview
So just allowing alternate covers wouldn't solve it. The only thing that will solve it is having some way to add profiles other then UPC or Disc ID. | | | | Pete | | | | Last edited: by Addicted2DVD |

First Come First Serve is still the best way until Ken comes up with a solution to enter both, and the poll results show this also. | | | | Corey |

Just like any other release... sometimes they will and sometimes they wont. I don't have many combo TV series yet... maybe 2 or 3... and already have one that has the DVDs in one case, blu-ray in another... held together in a slip cover. | | | | Pete |
