Quoting Berak from this thread:
Quote:
There are several errors in the Norwegian rating descriptions (it seems the descriptions have been taken from Cinema-ratings which do not apply for DVD's).

Ratings should be looking like this;

A = Tillatt for alle  (not "tilaten for alle")
7 år = 7 år  (not "barn ned til 4 år i følgje med føresette")
11 år = 11 år  (not "barn ned til 8 år i følgje med føresette")
15 år = 15 år  (not "unge ned til 12 år i følgje med føresette")
18 år = 18 år  (not "absolutt nedre grense")



I am posting this again here in the Feature Requests forum, as this really should be fixed in the next version of DVDProfiler. Like Berak states, the current ratings and their descriptions in Profiler are the Norwegian cinema ratings, NOT the DVD ratings.

The DVD ratings are simply:

A = Tillatt for alle
7 år = Aldersgrense 7 år
11 år = Aldersgrense 11 år
15 år = Aldersgrense 15 år
18 år = Aldersgrense 18 år

The current ratings comments in Profiler are meaningless and incorrect, as they imply that the movies can be watched by people who are younger than the rating age. This is correct for theatrical showings, when accompanied by an adult -  but for home video/DVD it is illegal to sell or rent a DVD to anyone below the rating age:

Filmlovens § 2 fastsetter at det ikke kan omsettes - det vil si selges eller leies ut - video til noen som er yngre enn aldersgrensen på videoen.


Translation: Norwegian Film Law states that a video/DVD cannot be distributed - i.e. sold or rented - to anyone who is younger of age than the rating age on the video/DVD.

Here you can see (in the "Lenker" column to the right) the correct ratings:
