I've altered the filter to set lower case only if the entire rating description is submitted in upper case. Up-casing of the first letter remains, as does stripping of a leading "For " Thanks! |

| | Posted: | | | | 1)Until a few years ago, UK DVDs often only gave generic responses for the ratings - U - Suitable for all PG - General viewing, but some scenes may be unsuitable for young children 12/15/18 - Suitable only for persons of 12/15/18 years and over I've submitted one like this as that is what is on the cover and have received a no vote saying "The standard ratings descriptions are now built into the program so no need to include these in the space intended for the content advice". Although I can understand what he is saying (and thanks to him for showing me where it is) the tips don't exactly match what is on the box, that was all the info regarding the ratings & the field is called "Rating Details". Should the field be left blank in those cases? 2)Still with UK ratings, some titles give quite detailed info regarding the rating -  The field length isn't long enough to take it all so how would this be entered? Thanks! |

| | Posted: | | | | If there are two versions of a film on a DVD, like for Apocalypse Now: The Complete Dossier which has both the R and Not Rated versions of the film -- we normally show the highest rating (NR in this case). Apocalypse Now: TCD shows details for the R-rated version. So, therefore, should we not leave the detail field blank? | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole)

| | Posted: | | | | In cases where the film rating has no "reason" on the case or in the film, are we supposed to use the generic description of the rating from filmratings.com? For example the generic wording for a PG rating is: Some material may not be suitable for children. Do we want to add that, or just leave the details field blank? | | | | Kevin |

If we don't have the details just leave it blank Correct! It's mostly older (the previous millennium) where details aren't provided. And a movie that rates "R" today is completely unlike what was an "R" 25 years ago. Ratings now are more conservative. Mine is a U.S. point-of-view but things have gotten more conservative over the years so in general assume nothing. [If you let the mouse cursor hover over the rating the appropriate default warning is provided. If no other sources are on the the disc just let that stand, IMO] | | | | Bad movie?

| | Posted: | | | | Look at the current contribution for this: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country: Special Collector's Edition UPC: 097360-677348
Film Rating PG : Parental Guidance Suggested.
This was my primary reason for asking about that in the first place. | | | | Kevin |

| | Posted: | | | | In trying to add rating detail for The General's Daughter, I've found the detail,
"Graphic Images Relating to Sexual Violence Including a Strong Rape Scene, Some Perverse Sexuality, Nudity and Language"
has more characters than the software allows. (bold face shows what fits).
Don't submit anything or submit the portion that fits? |

This was my primary reason for asking about that in the first place. You are right, the detail should be left blank. You get the Parental Guidance Suggested by default just by hovering over the "PG". Adding it is redundant. | | | | Bad movie? You're soaking in it! |

Don't submit anything or submit the portion that fits? Submit what fits at this time. I think viewing the first part, most people will understand mostly what it means. Hopefully we'll get a little more room in there with the next version. | | | | Kevin |

Like TVPG DLS?
Or should we not use the letters and write out what the letters it stands for on TV Series? This way we would have...
TV PG
Suggestive Dialogue, Moderate to Strong Language, Moderate to Strong Sexual Situations If I saw TVPG DLS I wouldn't have a clue what it meant. Lets try and avoid the TLA's.  | | | | Paul |

Ken even made a special exception to his filter to allow for it. But I do think maybe putting in a guide for what the letters mean (somewhere within the program) may be a good idea. | | | | Pete |

It's not much good printing the initials automatically and then having to manually write on the report what they mean. | | | | Paul |
