Hey, we are Germans, trying to make things difficult is what we are there for.    

I think it's not a problem of us Germans ...
... I think here in the forums we are all making it difficult.

......, more than 76% do not even have a flip cover. And the number is growing.


At this point I think you are wrong.

He might be correct in times to come.
More and more releases simply put an FSK-sticker onto the shrinkwrap.
It's law-conform and doesn't ruin the artwork.


Like Doena said, it's not law-conform, but i've seen a nice idea, to buff the law:
A DVD was sold in a paper-sheet with the rating logo and got as "Bonus" a free Steelbook without rating logo.

In that case we have to take the scans of the paper-sheet. Front and back!

Then, what if the back of the inside cover isn't missing the EAN/UPC?

Which part of "If the back of the inside cover is missing the EAN/UPC, take the back of the outside cover." is so hard to understand?

With "back of the inside cover" he meant the rear side, so the back of the actual cover.

To start with, you forgot the part about "What kind of images on the rear side qualify as cover".

You try to make it difficult but its not.

Then go to the Contribution Rules Committee with your:

--
Cover Images

Take the inside cover if available. If the back of the inside cover is missing the EAN/UPC, take the back of the outside cover."
--

And see what happens.

Jep, I think you are right, but in database is the scan of the steelbook/starmetalpak.

Because this way you'd get incorrect data.

All those "ridiculous rules" are simply existing to ensure correct data. "Correct" in this case meaning that the data in the database is supposed to mirror the data that exists on the DVD.

By using the scans of the two different sides of the "flip-cover" you get a custom scan that doesn't mirror any actual release of this DVD.

You are either unable to make yourself clear and/or understanding a very simple english sentence or you are purposely trolling.

As weio repeatedly stated, it's perfectly simple:

Coverscan
Normal procedure: You scan the outside cover, you omit the spine thus cutting the scan into a front and a back section.[1]
Exception: If the front portion of the cover is ruined by a rating logo and the cover is a wendecover and the cover is identical with the exemption of the rating logo[2], you scan the inside, omit the spine thus cutting the scan into a front and a back section.
And regarding to the "identical": if the inside back doesn't carry UPC/EAN and rating logo you take the outside back.

If this is to complicated I'm perfectly willing to produce a simple pencil drawing to explain the fairly obvious. 

cya, Mithi

[1] front being the nice picture, back being the whole letters and stuff
[2] Yes, all 3 conditions have to be met

It's the english language. I'm communicating with you through Google Translator:

I read the translation of a post, and google-translate the answer back into english.

However, a new rule is purely hypothetical. Half of the users want to keep the actual covers, the other half is at odds about what they want.

It seems the Google translator has immensely improved since I last used it.

Or to say it with the words of a very famous book:
Thou shalt not lie
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

Obviously crucial details are proverbially lost in translation. You really ought to seek advice from members of the community that speak your language.
