Just purchased SeaQuest DSV: Season One, entered it into DVD Profiler, noticed some weirdness with this set. 

This is a slipcase with 4 thinpaks for each of the 4 flipper discs.  Each one of these thinpaks has its own UPC, along with the the UPC for the whole season.  When entered into DVD Profiler, I see the parent and 4 children.  The titles of each of these children are what have me curious.  Each child is titled seaQuest DSV (with a lower case s on seaQuest, where the parent is SeaQuest), the Edition field is where mention of it being Disc One, Two, Three, or Four is made, Sort Title for each child was also seaQuest DSV (lower case s).  No mention is made of each of these children being Disc One (etc.) except for the Edition field.

I tried to find Contribution Notes to see why these were named like this but was wholly unsuccessful (I found discussion after-the-fact but nothing to indicate why these were initially named like this).

I corrected the titles in my local database and will not contribute my changes as I suspect it has something to do with the fact that these children each have their own unique UPC.

Can anyone explain why these children were entered into DVD Profiler that way?  Were these children originally created as individual discs and available for purchase individually?  Why was the only mention to being Disc One (etc.) made in the Edition field?

Weirdness!

Title on each thinpak states SeaQuest DSV: Season One: Discs One, Two, Three, and Four (respectively).

The graphic used for the title of this series, this season, and each of the 4 thinpaks illustrates a lower case s, but I wouldn't think the lower case first letter would carry over to DVD Profiler as the title for this series.  It is only a graphic after all.  If we were to subscribe to using the graphic as the official title for the DVD Profiler database, I imagine a lot of the titles in the database would need to be changed...





I just don't understand why it would have been approved for the DVD Profiler database as it is currently listed (as described in my OP).

Why would each thinpak have its own UPC?  I did a search at Amazon for SeaQuest DSV Season One Disc One and came up with nothing beyond the series and/or season, like the individual discs did not exist in their catalog.  Did these thinpaks originally exist as something else entirely?  Like they were originally created and sold separately?

Hey, before I vote, I was curious why you changed the first "s" to a capital "S"? The scans you posted show that it's lowercase-look at the Q compared to the rest of the title.

Along with what T!M said, a smaller font does not automatically mean lowercase.  The 'E', 'A', 'T' & 'D' are all uppercase letters, just a smaller font.
