| | Posted: | | | | It is Disc not Disk.
All my DVDs profiles in title and on the DVD are disc not disk.
I've been using disc not disk for many decades, has somebody past a law I didn't hear about.
IN checking the updates to the TV series "ER" they have disk in the titles. | | | We don't need stinkin' IMDB's errors, we make our own.

| | Posted: | | | | I noticed one French disc has disk on the cover, maybe it a national spelling thing,
although I did work for Bull a French company once, but not in France.
And I did find one typo a difference between the Original title and Sort title,
Philip Marlowe Private Eye:.
Maybe I just had a slipped disk. | | | We don't need stinkin' IMDB's errors, we make our own.

| | Posted: | | | | If I recall correctly, disc is English, disk is US-english. Same as colour vs color. Which is right... they both are!

Don't understand? Maybe DVDProfilerWiki.org does! |

| | Posted: | | | | In Dutch a disk refers to magnetical media such as a fixed disk (harde schijf) or a floppy (diskette), a disc refers to optical media. | | | Martin Zuidervliet

| | Posted: | | | | In german there's no original word close to "disc". The translation would be "Scheibe". But we are also using "disc" in context of "2-Disc-Edition" and I've only seen it written wit a 'c'. Quoting Daddy DVD: Quote:

Fritt vilt: 2-disk spesialutgave
Fritt vilt is a Norwegian title, and you see even the Norwegian capitalization has been used in the title. And it's called disk in Norway  |

| | Posted: | | | | As said before there are a few R1s out there that read "Disk" on the actual cover, like "Inland Empire" but that's an exception for R1 DVDs.

| | Posted: | | | | Yeah... I have seen it here and there myself on R1 titles. Not very often and I can't think of an example off hand. But it does happen. So I just go by the case/disc... copying it exactly as on the case/disc. | | | | Pete |
