Credited in the end titles, after the original end credits (The Bridge on the River Kwai).
Are they to be included or removed?

This is a mixed bag, at the moment, if it is done it has to be done via dividers, personally speaking I would probably be inclined to keep that data locally for now.

Since they worked on this release, and we have dividers, I would include them.

Actually [most of] the Restoration crew is already in the profile, but with no dividers, so I was wondering whether:
a) add a divider "The Restoration" and shif Restorarion Crew data below.
b) remove Restoration Crew altogether.
c) leave it as it is.
From your replies, I guess a) is probably best in this case.

I'd like to see restoration credits applied for certain films, especially films that have totally been restored to the point of - If the work wasn't done the film wouldn't  exist in its present form.
Take the 175 min 1954 film of A Star Is Born with Judy Garland., Ronald Haver and his own crew spent years resurrecting the missing footage and installing stills to play along lost audio. as well as newly recovered stereo elements for the audio .
The opening credits of the film gives Haver this acknowledgement and glad accolades for the restoration bestowed to this film, other wise the film may have been lost forever. Therefore with that in mind  I feel Ronald Haver should be included in the credits below a Restoration divider in the credits area,,  The end credits mention his name and others who worked on the film.
but to what title do we give Haver?  Director?    Producer?  either one would fit the occupation that Ronald Haver's special Craft  worked wonders for this Restored classic..

Ideas??

Problem with Ronald Haver is he is credited as "Restoration coordinated for Warner Bros, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences".  Since we don't have open crew credits there isn't really any DVD Profiler credit we can use.

This is not to say he didn't make a significant contribution, just the online DB has no associated credit as for "Restoration coordinated for Warner Bros, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences".

Exactly,, and thanks for that Tracer..    ..,. what I was wondering was if he should be credited as director. As he did the same job as a director would and that would be coordinating the team, bringing together the  materials for the editor to work with , with himself at his side. Calling the shots on whether or not the stills would work with the missing audio etc ..

Haver does NOT get credited, we have no provision for him. Any such inclusion would have to be local, Terry. You can't list him for Contribution for TWO reasons (1) his particular credit does not match Profiler in ANY way and (2) you can't create a make-believe credit in order to credit him. The ONLY posssibility I would see for ever being able to list him would be if Ken ever decides to give us Open Crew <gulping hard>. His is the only credit such as described that I can think of and i don't see or support thge idea of adding a special listing just for ONE credit.

I agree.., it's a tough one.. 
Looking at my version of MY FAIR LADY I see that James C Katz -Producer and Robert Litt -Sound Rerecording Mixer got credit for Restoration notes ,  But poor Robert A Harris got no credit or mention at all.  Harris was the Main Man involved., but since there is no affordable credit to list his name he gets squat. 
But wanted to throw this out to get this feedback,  . As it is an area that might be looked at further one day down the road, because as more and more films will be subject to major and minor  restorations , these films subject to DVD release should reflect the hard work that these gentlemen and their peers should be acknowledged properly.

Just to stir the pot, the crew data is supposed to include main unit only.  Members of a restoration team might be considered a separate post-production unit.

It might, but as some DVDs specifically are made because of these restorations we also could consider them as an important part of the crew.

I think a divider would highlight the restoration crew's importance more than mixing them with the original crew.  The divider would show their importance by distinguishing them.
Bad movie?  You're soaking in it!
