I'm fine with that data being in the Other Features area. Not for it taking a valuable slot in the Features. I'd prefer that area to stay open for more major features that apply to all localities. Pretty much how I feel. I probably wouldn't put it in Other Features myself.... but don't mind it being there. And also don't feel it is often enough to need a check box spot. Rather see something that would be across all localities for those spots. One I personally been wanting to see is play all for collection of episodes, shorts and such. | | | | Pete |

Perhaps I'm movie illiterate, but what exactly is a 'wendecover' feature? What does it do? I've never heard of that word   Go back and read page 1. It's all explained very nicely. Pictures and everything! | | | Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.

| | Posted: | | | | It is not a feature on the disc... it just means the cover art is reversible. The image (either slightly different or completely different) is on both sides and you can choose which side of the cover art to use.
In the case of these (mostly in Germany) the main difference is lack of big ugly rating block on front cover. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | Pictures didn't show up on my end  , but thanks for explaining. I learned something new today. As for the question at hand, personally I'd prefer to keep it as other features. I think there are other, internationally used features that have priority over this, like adding an icon for 3D Blu-rays etc | | | Blu-ray collection

| | Posted: | | | | The picture is in DJ Doena's post, right below mine on page 1. As you can see there, there's a large ugly green square on the bottom left of the Sherlock Holmes picture, which a "Wendecover" helps to avoid. |

But there is no "Wendecover" for Sherlock Holmes, most releases don't have one. The picture just shows the normal rating logo, like on every DVD/B-rD of the german locality. Every location has rating logos on the cover, and they may change over time. I strongly believe that our images should display the original product, and not other artwork from wherever it may come. | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played.

Pictures didn't show up on my end ... Some other example: Outer side:  Inner side:  (Btw, one of those that are argueable if allowed to contribute, because there are also some other changes. But I hope as example of what it is, still acceptable  ) | | | | Last edited: by VirusPil |

Inner side:
(Btw, one of those that are argueable if allowed to contribute, because there are also some other changes. But I hope as example of what it is, still acceptable) Definitely against the rules, but the other differences aside: this one even seems to have an UPC on the back side of the cover (most haven't), does an other artwork without any rating logo really reflect the reality?

...Definitely against the rules,... ? Agree. Quote:
... but the other differences aside: this one even seems to have an UPC on the back side of the cover (most haven't), ... Even if small, there is also a difference in the back cover, so the outer back cover has to be used. Which I always also understood to do when the UPC is missing. |

| | Posted: | | | | Not to open another can of worms since I know it's a hotly debated topic, but this would seem perfect to add to the alternate cover discussion...along with re-releases and multi-artwork covers for the same release. Then the user could chose which version they'd want.
But that wouldn't be covered in features. | | | | Lori |
