I do check all the box too...

Quoting Berak:

If the disc is "Region Free" (1,2,3,4,5,6) you leave it as Region 0.

Here's what the rules say;


Regions 
List the Region(s) shown on the cover, unless you can verify there is a discrepancy between that and the region coding on the disc.

List DVDs encoded for at least Regions 1-6 as "All." Regions 7-8 are ignored for the purposes of DVD Profiler.
RCE discs report region information incorrectly when analyzed. If RCE is present, use the box information.
When adding regions not listed on the cover, include your verification method (including of RCE presence) in your contribution notes.

This was the confusing bit of the rule for me if the DVD is Regions 1 to 6 then that is "All" regions if you leave them blank then that would be "No" regions    what is the difference between multi and region 0 or is there no difference.

If a disc is coded (1,2,3,4,5,6) you simply do not check any of the boxes in the program, therefore it's "All Region" or "Region 0"

Regions 7 and 8 aren't valid here.

Additionally, read here for region explanations.

I'm finding these past few weeks that Dances With Wolves is being ping ponged back and forth on this. The first week contributions all approve yes to Multi,, the next week it is back again to be marked 1 thru 6...

I think it's because the way of marking R0 has changed, coupled with the wording of the rules.

2.4/5 used to have an 'all' radio button, as well as the 1-6, now we have to not tick anything to show R0. It may help if the rules were updated to reflect do not tick any regions or list as R0.

The removal of the 'all' radio button threw me the first time I did an R0 contribution in 3.

So Personally I would sooner select/tick boxes 1 thru 6 than hope the next user would recognise the profile as being Region Free, unless this is an opertunity to require an addition to the Regions area of DVDP to include a Regions Free Tick Box.

If you select more than 2 regions it displays M locally (hovering over shows the actual regions ticked) but this could be any combination, not necessarily all or 0.

If you create a new profile without selecting a region it leaves the box empty, no 0, no M and no region code.

It's only once you select a region, then remove it that the icon shows the correct 0. So to me the answer is that if no region is selected it defaults to show 0 (including new profiles), otherwise it retains the behavior of displaying the chosen regions if only two are selected or M if 1 through 6.

Edit

Just for the avoidance of doubt 0 is the logo that is used on DVD covers to indicate a disc is free of region coding or all regions.

A disc can have regions 1-6 flagged, or it can be flagged as region 0.

A disc cannot be flagged as region 0. "Region 0", "R0", "All Regions", "No Regions" are just verbal shortcuts to say that a disc is enabled for all regions. And the rules explicitly state that R1-6 enabled is sufficient to mean "all" for the purpose of DVD Profiler.

Quote:
If the disc is flagged with each region (1-6) checked individually, then that should be how it is entered into the database. That's what's accurate.

See above. With your logic, it would be "accurate" to enter an RCE disc as enabled for all regions, because that's how most of them are flagged.

Wrong! If you check DVD with some specialized software like Nero Info Tools or AnyDVD or another software the characteristic of DVD we can have 2 cases :
- a DVD with all regions (1 2 3 4 5 6)
- or a DVD with region free.
The software indicates these with 2 different manners.
