Ok, so current rule is:

Quote:
Use the Rating shown on the DVD cover. When there is no rating indicated or no rated version of the film on the disc, use the NR rating.

What you're proposing is we need to add an exception, something like?

Quote:
Exception: if the DVD cover advertises itself as an "Unrated", "Extreme" etc. edition, use NR even if a rated version is also available on the DVD.

Does this cover all bases?

Your exception was negating the second line of the rules... so I believe what I put above would work better.

?Edit: I just reread what you said... the actual rule now says to use the rated version not nr.

I ma getting more and more the opinion that we either do not understand each other or that we are talking about two totally different things here.

I think this thread and this poll is about how to deal with disks that have two versions of the same film, an UNRATED and a RATED one.

It does absolutely not matter if the cover says Unrated Edition Special Edition, Director's Cut or whatsoever.

It is plain and simple about that the vast majority here (if I look at the postings and the poll result) wants to enter Unrated / Not rated for a disk that contains a rated version as well.

And that is exactly what we have been doing since this program existed.
Who anyways came up with the idea to change this and why ?

It is clearly obvious as the Martian said, that people buy those editions for the longer / not censored / unrated / not rated version and not for the other version that is on that disk (can be R-rated / PG rated or anything else)

So why would anyone want to enter PG / R-Rated / PG-13 or something like this, if there is also an UNRATED / NOT RATED version on the disk ???

This really slips my mind.

Ok Donnie, using my X-Men example.

It's a PG-13 film (as noted on the back of the cover), however there is an option to play the film with deleted scenes added via branching. This version of the film is technically unrated, it was never submitted to the MPAA. It's not advertised as Unrated, it's not advertised as a Director's Cut. What rating would you give the profile?

Lets see if I can try again to make it how we are wanting it...

Use the Rating shown on the DVD cover. If the cover has a rating, but also says there is an unrated version anywhere on the case, use NR (Unrated if/when we get that).

I prefer the original what I worded it too. I was just trying to put it as plain and simple top understand as possible.

The problem with that is it may just be a simple rating icon... it could have say a PG-13 icon and next to it an NR icon. One icon per version of the movie. In such cases we still want the Unrated to be used.
