I wish a Custom Media Type would allow me pick Blu-ray 3D under Dimensions without having to select Blu-ray under Media Type, but alas it does not. Maybe 3.8.1 Ken...nudge, nudge, know what I mean???

It seems that restricted fields for Custom media Type are:

Regions
16x9 Enhanced
NTSC/PAL
Blu-ray 3D

I have no idea why...

Well I have taken some time to reply in this thread as I have been absorbing all that is new in the last 2 updates. With the latest update, the 16x9 Enhanced, Blu-Ray 3D fields have now been enabled for Custom media types. YIPPEE!! HOORAY!! Thank you muchly, DVD Profiler god.

Downside though, and I admit I forgot to mention it at my last request, I would have loved the NTSC/PAL field enabled as well.  I just don't understand why ANY field would be disabled for those of us that want to use the "Custom Media Type" selection.

Perhaps, oh great invisible DVD profiler god, this could be remedied in 3.8.2? Once again I would be eternally grateful.

Not to drag up an old argument, but here goes.

The format settings are left over from the days of watching DVDs on 1.33 NTSC tube TVs.  The term "full frame" is virtually meaningless in Blu-ray. Citizen Kane is not really "full-frame" on a 16:9 screen, it's just a 1.33 movie.

Using full frame to describe 1.78 material on a blu-ray doesn't make a whole lot of sense, either. And I doubt that there are more than a few BD titles that are Pan & Scanned (if any), so that term is archaic.

In short, the distinction between Full Frame/Pan & Scan/Widescreen is only really relevant on DVD.

I suggest disabling/hiding the Pan & Scan/Full Frame/Widescreen selection for Blu-rays (and HD-DVDs). We only really need to select the aspect ratio of the source material. Leave the settings in the data (and on screen) for DVDs only.
