We are again running out of maximum characters on Rating details field. Last two DVDs I have purchased has had rating details:

Synecdoche New York (2008):
"Draamaelokuvassa teatteriohjaajan jättiläismäisestä draamaproduktiosta, jossa todellinen elämä ja näytelty lopulta sekoittuvat toisiinsa, lievähköjä seksiviitteitä kuvin ja puheissa, itsemurhaviite sekä ajoittain melko ahdistavaa tunnelmaa."

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009):
Vampyyri ja ihmissusihahmojen välisiä taisteluja kuvaavassa fantasiaelokuvassa runsaasti yksityiskohtaisia ja verisiä taistelukohtauksia, joissa myös splatter -piirteitä. Fantasiagenren epärealistisuus vaikuttaa ikärajaan alentavasti.

We also should get rid of the filter that deletes last full stop character.

Wow - that's some rating detail

But I support your request(s). We always seem to run out of space in those free text fields.

Finnish Board of Film Classification uses these long descriptions for explaining why a certain rating is needed for each film. They are full sentences, not just a list of details. Personally I like them more than just plain "strong language", "violence" etc. Finnish DVDs do not carry these rating details on the DVD box. There only the rating and a registration number given by the Board. We have to get the details from Film Classification Board's web site.

These long rating details create a problem in DVDP. When you hover the mouse over the rating info, DVDP shows you the rating details. It would be nice if DVDP shows this information word wrapped on several lines instead on one very long line. Maybe this was already on Collected Feature Requests, if not, Kulju, please add.

Be thankful that you can keep your language's capitalisation

Although I've not had a problem with the field length for a while, I did get quite close with one recently so would support it being increased.

Yes, please. And the same for dividers too - for many, many longer-than-we-currently-have-room-for episode titles!

Actually, the field for SRP doesn't have to be that long as it is now. Or is there a currency which needs that long field?

Don't forget the Zimbabwean Dollar 
In February, 09 you only needed Z$300,000,000,000,000 for US$1.00

Looks like it's already heading that way again, £1GBP is roughly $600ZWD.

I myself haven't come across such long rating details, but as they seem to be there for Finnish profiles, evidenced by Kulju, +1 from me for the longer field (as they still are within "reasonable" length)

After www.vet.fi web-page re-design these looong Rating Details are getting more and more common. Maybe they had a character limit on their previous web layout
