As to the OP, it isn't something I would use, but I have no objections.

You don't want to use the real country but "other"

No, I simply don't care about this particular field.  Knowing where the primary production company is located just isn't that important to me so, as I said, it isn't something I would use.

Sound to me like saying sure I can enter the exact screen ratio but I prefer to use only full frame and widescreen with no ratio...

Yet another field I don't care about.  As long as the film is presented "OAR", I honestly don't care what that ratio is.

Isn't the goal of DVDP to be the most exact it can be?

That may be the goal, but that doesn't mean I have to be interested in every bit of minutia we are able to enter.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

OK I thought you were fine with entering only "other" in place of a country, make more sense if you don't use it at all

It was in general, I don't use everything also. By exemple I don't enter the rating details at all for me the rating only is more than enough...

How do you tell if it's OAR if you don't know what ratio it is?

No worries, I know I am not always as clear as I want to be.

The only thing that matters to me is that, if it was originally presented in a widescreen format, it is presented the same way on the disc.  Knowing the actual aspect ratio doesn't help as I am not going to look up the theatrical aspect ratio and compare.  That being the case, the numbers, for me, are useless bits of data.

Then you don't know if it's OAR or not.

As this is a minor detail, that doesn't really change anything, it seems to me that you are arguing for the sake of arguing.

What, exactly, does that have to do with my post?  And, since we are being technical, this is not a topic.  This is a post, in response to another post, within a thread, that has a subject/topic.
