I'll try to cover as much as possible what was my idea for these changes.
Long text, sorry for typos.
Removal
FULL FRAME checkbox.
1) Currently this refers only to 1.33:1 aspect ratio. Which makes it useless because 1.33:1 AR by its own shows the same info.
2) In technical terms it refers to Academy ratio (1.375:1) which is an aspect ratio of a frame of 35mm film standardized by the AMPAS as standard film aspect ratio in 1932. We are listing only specifications from home video releases. There is no need to list specifications from old cinematography technologies.
Removal
WIDESCREEN checkbox.
1) Currently this refers only to aspect ratios wider than 1.33:1. Which makes it useless because correct AR by its own shows the same info. If there is need to show Widescreen text along with aspect ratios 1.66:1 and wider, this should be quite simple and short line of code in program.
2) This might be an issue if AR is not set. But my question is => why in the world haven't you edited your profiles with AR info??? If you don't know what is film's aspect ratio what you are watching, on 16:9 screen if video fills whole screen area it is most likelly 1.78:1. You can edit this to your profiles by copy/paste flagged function in very easy way. Just don't contribute those if you aren't sure if they aren't correct. Wikipedia tells more about
aspect ratio.
Adding
Windowboxed checkbox.
1) As already pointed in discussion there is number of releases where is black bars in every side of picture.
2) This needs good rule when to use is because there is lots of release in "grey area" if this can be used or not. Example black side bars caused by poor mastering. I think that if there is only few pixels of black in the sides, this doesn't count as windowboxed. But if there is same amount of black in the sides as in top/bottom, this should be counted as windowboxed.
Remain
PAN & SCAN checkbox.
1) This is method when widescreen aspect ratio is cropped to fill 4:3 or 16:9 screen with video with out any black bars.
2) Even in HD era, unfortunately, some distributors are releasing 2.40:1 films cropped to 1.78:1 ratio.
3) One option is to rename this to "Cropped" but I think that "Pan & Scan" good enough and we all know what it is.
Changing 16:9 Enhanced to
ANAMORPHIC checkbox.
1) Anamorphic is more technical and official term to tell what is happening. 16:9 Enhanced and similar are more like marketing things to tell if video is anamorphic.
2) This must be selectable as its own.
3) Not sure if this should be greyed out on Blu-ray/HD-DVD or not.
Changing
DIMENSIONS under Video Format.
1) Logical place to 3D and 2D settings are in video formats.
2) Even title is removed from Formats, maybe this should still remain in copy/paste as its own. Maybe rename to "3D/2D setting" or something.
Checkbox
2D available only if 3D is set.
1) Adding 2D checkbox to every single release is totally useless information.
2) It makes much more sense to it if it is available only if 3D checkbox is first set. Now it shows if same release includes also 2D version or is it 3D only release.
Changing
COLOR to checkboxes.
1) Already pointed in discussion that there are releases which needs more than one option.
Adding another
ASPECT RATIO field.
1) Idea behind this was relases which have multiple aspect ratios. Like Dark Night where most of the film is 2.35:1 (or was it 2.40:1) but there are also some sequences shown in 1.78:1 AR.
2) Maybe this can be used also to those really old two sided DVD where in other side of disc has different AR version of the film. IMO, this shouldn't be used like that => side A has the version to be used. Side B is either "only" an bonus feature or maybe it should be added as child profile.
Not familiar with filters but an example, 1.78:1 AR is slightly different in DVD and Blu-ray/HD-DVD. I think that you can quite easilly make different filters for all media types it that is an issue. I can't see this as an issue at all. If visible video AR is 1.78:1, it is still the same no matter if video is HD material on Blu-ray or on DVD (anamorphic or not).
Finally, if we have
Pan & Scan,
Windowboxed,
Anamophic and
Aspect Ratio (maybe twice) fields. There isn't any situations what can't be covered with those. With these it can be determined also which screen-icon to be used.
