Because the cover although in print can still be wrong.

The ONLY place to get the credits is from the credit run at the beginning (old style movies 50's early 60') or from the end of the film when the list of who, what, where & when.

And don't just say that that is where you got them from because if somebody else does an audit on one of your submissions at a later date and the credits are found to be wrong, it will be noted by the screeners for future reference and you may well find your contributions again being declined.

So best to remember "The Only Source For The Credits IS The Credits"

It doesn't matter if the film credits Maybe Faulty once they are in the film credits and released they are there for all time and wont change unless the film is withdrawn and subsequently re-edited.

A DVD cover can change ever couple of weeks if the distributor so desires. Try re-reading the Rules. They do specify that the cast and crew credits are to be taken from the DVD Film credits and nowhere else.

You will also note that for things like the overview from the rear cover Has to include (if present) any spelling mistakes.

As you say if we have a title in the DB that has no cast or crew assigned then the person who submitted either didn't own the title at the time (may have been Pre-Release information) or is just lazy and can't be bothered to use the end credits from the DVD.

It is not I who makes the rules but Invelos themselves and if they say cast and crew credits from the beginning / end credits then since it's Invelos's program and website then that's what we as Invelos users have to adhere too.

If you don't like their rules keep all your information local and don't contribute it, after all if things got nasty and went to litigation it won't be you in court but Invelos.

Locking of individual profiles is quite easy:
DVDProfiler menu: "DVD -> Locks" for a single DVD. Or, for more than one, flag the profiles you want to lock and use the menu "Collection -> Flagged -> Locks"

Steve, thanks for you answers, with helped a bit ( even though i honestly can't imagine invelos in court because of datas in the database which are printed on the dvd package, if at all only the distributor, who printed and released the dvd would need a lawyer while invelos would only need to update the datas).

But anyway, thanks.

Do you know a way to protect local datas against updates (like "locking" the datas)?

I know i can check the updates before downloading / overwriting, but with 1500+ dvds you get a bit lost about which datas you wanted to keep. and when you get an update with 50-100 dvds, you don't want to check every change (as long as you are not bored to death).

A good way to chech what updates are coming, is to vote on contributions, there you see which of your DVDs are up for an update

cheers
Donnie
