I am rather glad to see a new feature for slipcovers.  However, I do have one issue, in at least 2 of the corrections, my movies that they are adding slip covers to, do not have slipcovers.  Most likely because I bought them later when their price became more desirable.  For instance I bought Van Helsing for $3.99, it didn't come with a slipcover.  To answer your next question it cam from Best Buy, no it is not a bootleg.  Next, I am seeing the database turn into the same COO fiasco we had a few months ago where every database post was COO.  I could careless what the country of origin of the film company which made my movie.  I care about where the story takes place.  I know I am not going to  be popular with this post.  All I ask is please do not post every single film you have with a slipcover because some of us do not have them.  A few more of my films in the category are X2 and The King of New York.

You are NOT required to accept every change that comes down the pike.  If you don't like something in an update, you can set it the way you do like it in your local and lock it down.  I know its a pain in the arse, but there isn't much else you can do - or any of us either.

what's a slip cover?

what's a slip cover?

It's when a (usually) Keep Case has a cardboard (occasionally plastic) cover which 'slips' over the main case... it's been defined in the Rules for ages under the section about cover scans:

If a DVD is packaged in a keep case, within a slipcase of some kind, scan the Cover Images from the outer slipcase. If, however, the Slipcase is reflective, and the inner cover art is identical, use the Keep Case art to scan, as it will give a better quality image.

but now, in the 3.1 beta version there is a checkbox to indicate if the (intial) release has one... FWIW I think it's very useful for informing users when the cover scan in the database should be from the slipcase not the keep case so we don't get so many 'corrections' from people who buy a later (non-slipcase) release and dn't realise it's wrong to submit the later release.

Oh, and Unicus makes a good point... I'm trying to ensure that unless I got a title on release (or have seen it in the shop on release) and can verify it's definitely the initial release that has the slipcover I'm voting neutral.

I throw them away. Scarface had a cardboard cover the keep case slip into toss it after I rip it.

I keep them only if they are different from the case cover. But personally I think that it's just a waste of paper, at least I dump them in the recycling bac.

Any time there is an addition of new fields into the program there will be a mass contribtion of profiles to accommodate the new data. Get used to it.

If your DVD without a slipcover is a re-release with the same UPC as the original release with a slipcover, you will just have to vote neutral or ignore the contribution altogether. Once again, get used to it.

Only problem here is the new addition is part of a Beta release not an official production version. I think this is ridiculous. All these changes should only be contributed when this version comes out of beta. I of course presume these changes WON'T show up in near term profile updates as I don't have the beta version and don't plan on installing it.

Nobody has addressed this issue. Ken, have I missed something here? Shouldn't these guys wait on contributions? This is bad process in my estimation.

Ken has already stated that it is ok to start submitting with the beta... said so in the Beta forum. As 8ballMax asked... how else are we to test the new addition if we can't use and submit the new feature while it is in beta?
