For the benefit of non-German users I'm quoting this from Wikipedia, the FSK is the German ratings authority (like the British BBFC, or the US's MPAA):

Quote:
If a movie does not comply with FSK basic principles (eg glorification of violence), a rating can be denied. A movie which is not rated by FSK is checked for possible violation against applicable law by a jurist agency (Juristen-Kommission, JK) of the Spitzenorganisation der Filmwirtschaft (SPIO). The JK compiles certificates for the reviewed movies. Approved movies get the label "SPIO/JK geprüft". This label is rectangular, black and white, with "SPIO/JK geprüft" printed on. The movie must be handled like a movie rated with "Keine Jugendfreigabe".

That to me sounds like a rating. Just because it's not a rating by the FSK doesn't mean it can't be included in Profiler.

Although it would be nice if "Adult" was renamed "R18" for all UK locality DVDs (and NR be renamed "Exempt").. hint, hint Ken.. 

the trouble with that idea is that I want to be able to select Adult dvds (no matter which region/locality) just by selecting Adult rating. If you start renaming this to R18 then thats correct for UK but not USA.

That's been a requirement on Non Rated media here in the UK since the 1984 Video contents act.

Just found the correct wording for the above.

Video Recordings Act 1984

One more time: Here is the final list of ratings for Finnish DVDs. Now the parentheses are deleted from the classified ratings. Square brackets indicate un-classified ratings.

Quoting Ken Cole:

Quote:
NR and Adult are automatically included as available options and are not listed for each locality.

OMG I don't know why I didn't know this - that's why they are not in localities.dod! Sounds like 3.5 and future releases will not rely on localities.dod? What do I need to do in oder to get the Ratings into my plugin(s)?

Quoting Telecine:

Quote:
For Australia:

The current ratings are:

G General
PG Parental guidance recommended
M Recommended for mature audiences
MA 15+ Not suitable for people under 15. Under 15s must be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian
R 18+ Restricted to 18 and over
X 18+ Restricted to 18 and over

Link

There is also 'E' Exempt from classification, mainly for educational films or television, and small limited release.

As the current British Ratings are very inconsistent at the moment and Forget_the_Rest asked to change these here
and here, I'm repeating my preference in this topic to see if anyone is taken notice and agrees.
