| Posted: | | | | Okay, so I'm about to tackle Wiseguy: The Collector's Edition boxset that doesn't seem to be in the database yet (at least not my UPC).
Regarding features:
I popped in disc one and it has Episode selections, but not Scene selections (meaning you select, say, Episode 1, and it goes right to the start of the show).
Do I check "Scene Selection" in the features anyway since it does have Episode selections available, or do I leave it unchecked as there is no way to select a particular scene?
(I will be going through this disc by disc for the features, so it may change per disc, though I doubt it, but we'll see.) | | | Reviewer, HorrorTalk.com

| Posted: | | | | The way I've done it in the past is not to tick the box, as really what you have on the disc is title selection, not scene selection. I've only ever ticked scene selection when I have an option to select specific scenes within episodes. |

| Posted: | | | | That's my thinking, as well, but wanted to double check as I hadn't run into this yet.

Eopisodes are not scenes access, they are just Episodes. Now if you would like I have the Season One set form the Distributor, i will be happy to send you Cast and crew data for the Discs. | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!! CBE, MBE, MoA and proud of it. Outta here

| Posted: | | | | Quoting TheMadMartian: Quote: I wouldn't consider it a feature Me neither: please let's not add "Episode Selection" to thousands of TV profiles? Mind you: if we're going to allow that, then we're going to have to add that to virtually ALL TV profiles - even the ones that have "Scene Access" too (after all, they've got both "Scene Access" and "Episode Access", right?). Again: please let's not do that! |

| Posted: | | | | If there is more than one episode on a disc, naturally there must be means to select one. It is not a "feature". | | | Markku |

| Posted: | | | | I agree with the rest... not scene selection. And not Other Features either. | | | Pete |

| Posted: | | | | Agreement here; it's not scene selection unless you can select scenes within episodes (which some title allow and some don't, so it makes sense to record this). I don't think Episode Selection is a feature as it would be a total waste given every disc* with episodes on has episode selection so the data is unnecessary.
* - I'm sure someone can find a stupid disc with only 'Play All' option but, to be honest, I'd mark THAT as a special feature before marking Episode Selection as one! | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong |

I actually had one TV set like this, but it annoyed the hell out of me, so I sold it and bought the U.K. equivalent instead. |

Oddly enough, the Wiseguy discs do have the "Play All" option. (The Miami Vice seasons do, as well. No chapter selection, but a "Play All" option.) | | | Reviewer, HorrorTalk.com
