| | Posted: | | | | We will need to define these for the rules. At first blush, would say > 10% B&W AND > 10% Color = mixed. Sepia and other single-tinted films are classified as B&W. | | | | Invelos Software, Inc. Representative |

I can see this new color option becoming like genres--everyone will want to set theirs up the way they like it and lock it down locally. It's too subjective. I personally consider The Wizard of Oz to be a color film and I know that's not going to wind up in the database like that. --------------- |

| | Posted: | | | | Going by what Ken said I don't think I will have to do much locally as it seems to be pretty much in line with my thoughts. The Wizard of Oz has always been mixed in my opinion. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | I wasn't saying anything against what you said. I was just saying going by what Ken had said... that it don't look like I will have to change much locally myself. | | | | Pete |

I realize that splitscreen isn't technically Anaglyph, hence the hint. These need to be grouped somewhere and splitscreen is too rare to merit it's own field.
All broadcast 3D TV, at least on Comcast and Fios, is splitscreen, but I have never seen a DVD/Blu-ray that is splitscreen. Are there such discs? Yes, though it isn't common. Here's one (somewhat NSFW) example. There are also some field-sequential DVDs. See here. | | | | Last edited: by Ace_of_Sevens |

The defaults are 2D and Color. However, the DVD->Paste (and Collection->Flagged->Paste) have checkboxes for Color Format and Dimensions, so these are quick to set.
The options for dimensions are (checkboxes): 2D, 2D Anaglyph, and 3D Blu-ray. The 2D Anaglyph has the following hint: "Blue/red glasses or similar, or splitscreen"
The options for color are (drop-down): Color, Black & White, Colorized, and Mixed.
I realize that splitscreen isn't technically Anaglyph, hence the hint. These need to be grouped somewhere and splitscreen is too rare to merit it's own field. Uh-oh, what about releases which have more than one color option (version of the film)? e.g. Color and Black & White or Black & White and Colorized. | | | | Last edited: by rdodolak |

| | Posted: | | | | I said the same thing... Quoting Addicted2DVD: Quote:
I would also had preferred the color options to be check boxes instead of a drop-down. I have several sets where there is both black & White and color in the set. And before you say it... yes... have it in the child profile. But I have some where there is a film in B&W and another in color on the same disc. A lot of those multi-movie sets from Mill Creek Ent... like Horror Classics: 100 Movie Pack. I have more then one set where this is the case. I am hoping Ken will reconsider and make these check boxes instead. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | Unless of course, Ken has something planned for multiple versions/films on one disc that would make this a "non-problem".
** Fingers crossed ** |
