| Posted: | | | | Recently I decided to add child profiles to the Lethal Weapon blu-ray box set I own, and now I have a few questions.
The box set consists of an HD keep case in a slip cover, with the keep case holding all discs. At the moment the parent profile has HD keep case as Case Type with the slip cover checkbox ticked.
Is the Case Type information correct for the parent profile? How should I enter the Case Type information for the child profiles? Do we consider the slip cover only part of the parent profile or of the children profiles as well? |

| Posted: | | | | The slip cover only goes with the parent profile, the case type for the child profiles is HD keep case only. If you were to tick the slip cover box for the child profiles you'd be suggesting each disc has its own individual slip cover. |

| Posted: | | | | I always thought that the child profiles got the same case type as the parent unless they were individually packaged differently. If you had a boxset of 3 movies in a single keepcase, in a slip cover, wouldn't you still use the images from the slip cover for the child profiles. I would. If so, shouldn't the slip cover be included in the case type since that's where the images come from? | | | Hal | | | Last edited: by hal9g |

| Posted: | | | | I never really thought much about it... but I always have done it the way northbloke said. Now I am questioning it though... so not really sure. So I will be watching this thread. | | | Pete |

| Posted: | | | | I always did it the way hal did... A lot to ask but it should've been addressed in the rules a long time ago. | | | Last edited: by The Movieman |

| Posted: | | | | Quoting northbloke: Quote: Not according to Ken in the slip cover image thread. Yeah... that thread says to just use the inside case for child profiles... and Ken did say the post was right... so that is good enough for me. | | | Pete |

| Posted: | | | | Adds a little bit to the workload (have to scan the inner covers otherwise it'll look off with the banner in regards to Blu-rays) but OK. *shrug*
Edit: But I still stand by that it should be included in the rules. I know a lot of these come from Ken in threads, but contributors shouldn't have to hunt that info down on forum threads either. | | | Last edited: by The Movieman |

| Posted: | | | | I always go with the case type that best matches the cover scans, and for a single case with slip cover that has to be a scan of the slip cover by the rules. To have one type of case for the case type field and another for the scans just doesn't make any sense. | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 |

| Posted: | | | | Quoting northbloke: Quote: Here. Ken's confirmation is on page 2. Thanks. Guess the only place it is directly addressed is in the description of Alien Quadrilogy, where it says not to check the "slip cover" for the child profiles. Mention of "slip cover" is simply omitted for others that fall into this category. Not sure how I missed that way back then (maybe because it was being changed as we went), but if I had caught it at the time, I'd have argued that point. Especially for something like Quadrilogy where the only images available are from the slip cover. If you leave off the slip cover from the child profile, then you have no place to take the cover images from. It seems to me that the case type for children should only be different from the parent if the children are packaged individually....in other words, only when we use slip case; never when we use slip cover. Something else that I'll have to keep local! | | | Hal |

| Posted: | | | | Quoting northbloke: Quote: Why do you say that? I see nothing in the rules that says the case type has to refer to the source of the scans. I am guessing, and I could be wrong, that it is the first cover image rule. "The covers must match the profile exactly, including the UPC and locality." If the profile doesn't indicate that there is a slip cover, then a scan of the slip cover doesn't match it exactly...then again, I could be over thinking it. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
