How to correctly profile a set where the movie comes in a gift set? Usually with swag.

What I'm asking about is a set where the movie comes in the standard case with it's own upc# in a larger package with it's own upc# too.

Such as Shrek the Third set that came with a beanie baby.



What goes in the profile that represents the larger packaging with the beanie baby? Do we treat it as a box set and leave most of it blank or do we include cast, crew and other data. Then add the upc# for the keep case as box set data?

Same thing with the first Ted that came with a bottle opener. The movie came inside the larger packaging within the standard case.


Do we only profile the larger packaging and include everything in that and ignore the standard case that the movie came inside in or what?

Not sure if this is correct per rules, but I do a parent profile for the swag UPC and just put the standard BD or dvd as a child profile. Works for me, and I've seen sets confirmed this way (it's how i got the idea).

So no cast/crew in the parent, right?

I don't see how the box set rule could apply to a single movie feature.

The rules contradict themselves. They define a box set as a set containing more than one movie, but they also tell us - in the section on blu-ray combo sets - to add the optional dvd child profile to the main blu-ray profile in that profile's box set contents.

There's no box set here. It's one movie in both examples. Cast and crew in the parent (the UPC containing the bottle opener in the Ted example). Bottle opener in Other Features.
My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT.
FACT: Imdb is WRONG 70% of the time! Misspelled cast, incomplete cast, wrong cast/crew roles. So for those who want DVD Profiler to be "as perfect as Imdb", good luck with that.
Stop adding UNIT crew! They're invalid credits. Stop it!
