If this is a single sided disc it's not a box set so your point isn't relevant, as it's entered as a single profile and the highest rating listed applies.
As for true box sets I've never seen one which has more than one rating on the box, there might be different ratings on the individual cases/discs, but it's what's on the box that counts. Should there be a true box set that lists multiple ratings on the outside, then you could argue either way to use the NR or highest rating rule.
I can see the argument for doing it each way, arguably using the highest rating is more useful as it gives people an idea of what they're getting. NR is fairly useless as it covers anything the distributor can't be bothered with submitting to the MPAA, so it could be full on nudity, violence and gore or it could be a couple of extra innocent scenes in a kid friendly movie. You and I are in pretty much perfect agreement in this issue.  This is not a box set, it's a single profile, and the highest rating listed applies. Which is what I have submitted. |

So, there's a contribution up that has two movies on one disc but with two different MPAA ratings. One is PG the other is PG13. Currently the rating in the system is NR [...] Yeah, it's "PG-13" all right. We gain absolutely nothing by listing this as "NR" - which it simply isn't. |

While it would be nice to be agle to list the proper ratings with each film, we don't currently have a way to do that. So it must be listed at PG-13. | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

| | Posted: | | | | Agreed. A disc with two movies on a single side is NOT a box set, and the rules are pretty clear that such a case should be entered as a single profile, using episode dividers to separate the two movies' cast and crew. Per the rules, the highest applicable rating should be used.
Whether or not certain rules originated from posts by "a certain user" is totally irrelevant for the discussion at hand. |

| | Posted: | | | | Fair enough, seems most want it to be PG-13 so I'll withdraw my no vote.
However, there are several profiles that need to be updated, though I won't submit any of them and lock 'em locally. | | | | Last edited: by The Movieman |

It's not what people want, it's what the rules specify. No more, no less. Which rule? The one quoted is for alternate cuts of the same movie, not with two different movies. So the rules don't cover this which is typical. Anyway, done with this. It's been settled apparently. | | | | Last edited: by The Movieman |

Anyway, done with this. It's been settled apparently. The sentence about alternate cuts is just an example, as should be evident by the "e.g." at the beginning of the sentence. Had they used "i.e." at the beginning of the sentence it would have meant that that was the only thing they meant, but "e.g." means it's an example of something that it should be used for, not the only allowed thing. | | | | Last edited: by cartman76 |

| | Posted: | | | | Agreed the point of an example being given is to allow us to understand the thinking behind it so we can apply it to other similar scenarios, not to be the only way we can apply it. | | | | IVS Registered: January 2, 2002 |

The fact that the rules only give one example doesn't mean they don't cover this. The fact remains, there are two ratings shown and the rules tell us to use the highest one. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
