| | Posted: | | | | Can anybody please explaine why Alien Qudrilogy is supposed to be a digipack. Now i have been rejected for lord of the rings, becasuse it is a digipack. And the reason was that the only ones who can be box set is those with more movies in it. And now i have been rejected because you say alien quadrilogy is digipack, when it have 4 movies in it. Why? I don't get it.
Can somebody please explain what conditions there must be for it to be a box set??? |

There are countless reasons for a profile to be denied and only IVS can tell you why a contribution was denied. | | | Dan W

| | Posted: | | | | | aren't i on IVS forum? Where else could i get my answers? Is it not best to discuss this matters so everybody understands what is what? But hey, if it's not allowed to ask questions then i will shut up. And maybe i get it wrong again. I think it's better to ask instead of coming with faulty contributions. |

| | Posted: | | | | The problem is IVS almost never responds. It is up to us users to help each other out (in most cases)((don't banninate me Jesse  ))
As far as your contributions go, there are many contributions that get declined by IVS for no apparent reason  You can't take it personal.
If you have questions you should feel free to post them in the forum. And yes, it is good that everyone understands what is what. Sometimes, as I said, there is no reason that a contribution is declined though. If it happens and there is nothing wrong with the contribution you should submit it again.
Usually you will get some good feedback from the YES or NO votes you receive. | | | | Rick |

| | Posted: | | | | | Yeah, but there is different opinons on what is what. So that means if someone let's say 1 person vote no my contribution is declined. Even if my contributon is right and the person who is voting have got it wrong. |

| | Posted: | | | | if that is the case I suggest coming here for assistance. If someone is voting NO against the rules let us know what the UPC and Title is and watch the yes votes pile up  (as long as you're sure it's correct that is  ) | | | | Rick |

You are mixing the terms. Not your fault. Your confusion is caused by the fact that IVS has chosen the same term, 'Box Set', to refer to a case type and a profile type. The term, however, are not interchangeable.
Case type 'Box Set' has nothing to do with how many films it contains. 'Box Set', as far as case types go, is what is depicted in the images on the first page.
Sets with multiple films have a profile type of 'Box Set'. These can be packaged in any form...digipack...keepcase...whatever.
Hope that helps...if it confused you more feel free to ask for a better explanation. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | I guess pompel9's confusion is, which I share to an extent, that the image on page one for "Box Set" shows a slip case (with Keep Cases in it). Now, Alien Quadrilogy is a Slip Case as well, therefore could be considered a "Box Set" for the Case Type. The only difference to the image is, it contains a Digipak and not Keep Cases.
So, the question is, is a Slip Case=Box Set defined by it's content? Is a Slip case only Box Set, if it contains Keep Cases? If it contains Digipaks we ignore the Slip Case and profile the content (Digipak)?
I am aware that this is tricky, as we also do that similar with Slip Covers, where we also profile the content, the Keep Case, and not the Slip Case itself. | | |  |

If I'm not mistaken, that's exactly the way it's done.
Of course, the whole problem could be solved by
1. dropping the case type "box set" completely
2. add the case type "sleeve"
3. include the box set information elsewhere in the profile (check box or something similar)
I personally keep my fingers crossed for 1. - 3. to be realized some future Monday | | |  | | | | Last edited: by Darxon |

| | Posted: | | | | I'm glad too see that i'm not the only one who have a problem with this.The best would have been if someone of the moderators of this site helps to get the confusion out of the way. Make the contributions rules a little more simple, so everybody can read them right whitout any interpitation. But thats just my thougt on it.
And so everybody understands, this is not a attack from me to criticise The moderators of DVD Profiler. Just my contribution to make it a little more simple for everybody.
By the way Darxon i liked your proposals. Hope they get's implemented in DVD Profiler. | | | | Last edited: by pompel9 |

This forum is NOT moderated. Now if you read the Rules about Covers you will discover that there is a link in there that brings you to where...this thread. You asked a question in this thread and you got an answer from whom...the person that wrote the thread. So i think you got the answer you were looking for...mpderator or not. Don't you?

Sorry, while I know Dan was just trying to keep it simple, it didn't quite resolve the question regarding Alien Quadrilogy, as I illustrated.

Well, yeah, it's the way it's done. But it seems a bit inconsistent, somehow, so I was hoping for some enlightenment (Skip always points out, that inconsistency is a bad thing).
I would thing the Alien Quad is a Box Set (case type) and the children are Digipaks.

I am not sure I follow 100%.
If we drop "Box Set", would we not profile the casing of the container of several Keep Cases anymore?
What do you mean by "sleeve"? If you meant "Slip Case" we'd be back where we started. If you mean Slip Cover, I am not sure I'd want that added, as I'd rather profile the Keep Case (of course, that's my personal preference). A Sleeve case type is something else (looks like an envelope, I believe). | | | |
