| | Posted: | | | | Now a days i primarily purchase Blu-rays, and only the odd DVD.
I also create a fair number of new, pre-release profiles. The programs default Media Type is DVD. I sometime forget this and submit new profiles as DVD when i meant Blu-ray, requiring me to then update the submission after approved to correct this.
It would be useful if i, the user, could select a default Media Type of DVD or Blu-ray. | | | | Bad movie? You're soaking in it! |

Why should he quit doing pre-release profiles? Not that it matters as the same problem exists when doing new, on day of release, profiles...or am I missing something? Just another option. There is always more than 1 option. I'm not a big fan of pre-release. Just did one that had all 3 (P&S, FF and widescreen) ticked. It was just widescreen. And orig title was 4: John Cena.(wrong) |

Why should he quit doing pre-release profiles? Pre-releases are the most inferior. I've seen too many profiles where at release date everything has been proven wrong (despite a fistful of approved contributions by the very same fellow user) or where all that was left was an abandoned profile because even the UPC wasn't right. | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played.

| | Posted: | | | | From my experience, these "bad apples" have been few and far between, at least in Region 1. I appreciate the work users do in taking the time to add pre-releases to the database. I use the "Add Upcoming" feature a lot to add titles that I may be interested in to my wish list. | | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |

I have seen the same thing on new release profiles...not that it matters, until Invelos decides they are not allowed, this is a moot point and has nothing to do with the original request. Whether it is a pre-release or an actual day of release profile, the ability to select a default media type would be a nice addition. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

Maybe it's Invelos' point of view that at first glance it looks better to have something than nothing, but that's not my standpoint. | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played.
