Agree with Danae Cassandra on this. Don't read to much into it, GSyren.

we can either use DVD Profiler offline to just keep managing our local databases

Unfortunately, no. DVDP requires Invelos to add new titles. Try it. Cut your internet connection and try to add new titles. I stumbled upon this fact then Invelos was down a few months ago.


OK, I have DVDProfiler installed on a spare computer, with just 30 profiles in the local database that I use for test purposes.

As suggested, I cut my internet connection and tried to add new titles.

I am able to add new profiles to the collection by using the "Add by UPC" function within the program, I just make sure I uncheck the "Download profile from Invelos" checkbox.

This is a hard one to decide!

Spine wins. "The Thing: 3 Movie Collection" in the Title field.


You are almost correct.
I agree the title could be taken from the spine.
However, the title would be "The Thing 3-Movie Collection"
See the example on http:/www.invelos.com/dvdpro/contributions/Rules.aspx?display=boxsets

The example on that page is "Alien Quadrilogy" not "Alien: Quadrilogy"

However, the page says "The title for a Box Set should be the title listed on the front cover, for example Alien Quadrilogy".

Therefore: I believe Addicted2DVD is almost correct.

I disagree on the way that the cover is per rules it should be...

Title: The Thing / The Thing from Another World / The Thing
Edition: 3-Movie Collection

Then child profiles for each individual title.


But, I don't think "3-Movie Collection" is an edition.

And to me it is very confusing that "The Thing" is listed twice in this suggested title "The Thing / The Thing from Another World / The Thing".

Personally, I think in this case we should go with what the spine says "The Thing 3-Movie Collection" in the Title field.

In my local collection I would enter it as "The Thing 3-Movie Collection: The Thing (1985) / The Thing from Another World / The Thing (2011)" all in the Title Field and lock my profile.
