BTW, north, I have no problem with Hal disagreeing with me, I have a problem with his snotty attitude. As I demonstrated he COULD have disagreed WITHOUT being disagreeable, but Hal is incapable of that. As he has repeatedly demonstrated.

Skip

As I stated earlier, and as anyone who read my post would see, I was not disagreeing with you.  I was talking to RHo.

But just keep on spewing your venom, Skip.

If you keep repeating it often enough, someone might actually start to believe it (besides you, that is).

Perhaps I should have called him an ass instead? 

Would the posters please stay on topic as I have a whole bunch of CoO contributions to vote on and I want to do this correctly. Thank you. 

One thing that you can check for is the copyright notice at the end of the film. It will often list a COO as part of the wording.

Yes, if the main production company is correctly documented to be Eon and Eon is correctly documented to be UK based, the CoO is UK. Funding and distribution has no relevance to the country of origin as used by DVD profiler.

I just love these "statements of fact"!

Since the CoO field is not even referred to in the Rules, exactly how is it that you know "Funding and distribution has no relevance to country of origin as used by DVD profiler"?

The fact that Gerri has publicly stated that the CoO for LOTR is the U.S would tend to undermine your supposed "fact".

You are correct, the CoO is not mentioned in the rules. This should be changed by Invelos.
And you are also correct that Gerri has given us the definition of the CoO field as the country "where the production companies are based" (see this post).
It is reported in this post that she later corrected the misunderstanding about WingNut being NZ based and not US based. Unfortunately Gerri has done this by PM and not in the forum. While I do not doubt northbloke about this PM, we can't check it ourselves.

sometimes its a real nut to crack because that there can be "a shi*load" of companies involved.

And Pdf the copyright notice does not always work because when it comes to this on the LotR movies the copyright is held by new line cinema. One of the things that made me shure that it should be usa not nz. Hovever I have come to terms with where MAIN production company is located.

There are many other films that get strange CoO resident evil is german, resident evil apocalypse will be Uk alltough im not shure as there is two prod companies(plus screengems) and im not shure wich one is the main one.
And this is just from the top of my head. Oh and all uwe boll movies (or close to) will be german.

I do belive that we all concluded in that post with multiple CoO in alphabetical order was the only way we all would get totally happy, hopefully.

If production companies from more than one country are involved substantially in the production, I would recommend to leave the field empty until a better solution is implemented. Finding out which is the "main" prod. company can be difficult or not possible in some international co-productions.

A minimal implementation would simply be the addition of "International" to the country of origin list. A more satisfying solution would of course be the possibility to list all involved countries alphabetically.

Yup agree totally with you

I'd like an 'Other', I think as suggested in the feature requests, to cover the likes of Iraq, Iran etc etc

Or a list of all countries. I can't understand why Ken has "linked" the country of origin list together with the locality list (which is harder to get the required info for all countries).
