| | Posted: | | | | As to the age, I will be using 17. It seems the most common case is a film which received an R rating being released in an Unrated form, so 17 would seem appropriate for the majority.
A future release may add local control for this, but for now a default is needed.
Note that by setting this at age 17, they are not hidden or restricted in any way by default - it only allows users to set the watchers' age restrictions and have these titles fall into a reasonable place. | | | | Invelos Software, Inc. Representative |

I understand the default, I am just amused that Dora will now get a 17 rating.  I think yu are misunderstanding. There will be a "NR" rating and an "Unrated" NR having no age Unrated at 17 |

| | Posted: | | | | But that doesn't communicate anything, pete, that's the point. So I presume in reality Unrated =17+ and NR=17 and under. That's all well and good, but way too broad. I am not sure it resolves the issue of mixed data which i explored earlier. Pitch Black Unrated Edition, also contains the MPAA Rating of R and Not Rated as well. So iis Pitch Black Unrated or is it NR, ALL the data is present. The only difference is the Edition, so now the Edition is a part of the Rating?, that kind of reminds of the possessive argument. This a part of the reason I think the program is becoming far more complex that necessary, we are looking for answers where we shouldn't be, thus mixing in this case Edition Field with Rating field.  | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | We will just have to disagree Skip... because I personally see Unrated as more then just an edition. | | | | Pete |

NR having no age
Unrated at 17
but a megaviolent direct to video release which is not rated will get the same rating as Dóra.
Right. Like the upcoming Death Race 2 which is Direct to Video. 1. Not all Direct to Video releases are unrated. I have many direct to video releases that went through the MPAA before they released it. 2. Ken said he may be adding something to a future release for this. I personally think Ken took the right first step for all this. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | I have a feeling we will see issues which even I haven't though of. We will see. But it's Ken's call, I just hope that it's clear and doesn't add another level of confusion. | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

Yes, to clarify, NR will remain age "1". It's too early to know for sure, Ken but that could still leave Dora with same Rating as Death Race 2, aieeee! I guess it's a step in the right direction maybe, but I still see a lot of issues and lot of lack of clarity. It's up to you, Ken. | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | That is the problem Donnie... a lot of us didn't feel it was a "winning team"... grouping everything in NR didn't work for a lot of us. | | | | Pete |

In all honesty, while i understand what you are saying, I don't think you find this to be any sortn positive improvement...time will tell. Barney=Dora=Captain Kangaroo=Pitch Black=Death Race 2 conceivably, that doesn't sound informative to me. But i will keep my fingers crossed
