I'm sorry if I am bringing up an old topic, but search seems to be down at the moment.  Have we reached a concensus on how to mark Blu-ray regions?  They are A, B, and C with A covering the Americas and East Asia (excluding China).  What I recall from Ken is that we were to mark these using DVD region code until the program could be modified to have appropriate Blu-ray regions.

I submitted a corrected profile to one Blu-ray title which included changing the region from "No region coding" to "Region 1" .  The disc is marked Region A.  A member disagreed stating that Region 1 is not the same as Region A, but what is the alternative?  You can't mark this region 2 (since Europe is not included) and it's certainly not region free.  What is the current concensus?

same here...

I'll change my no vote, but, this needs to be addressed in the rules stating that A = 1, B = 2 and C = 3. I never saw anyone stating it was to be done this way. Can you point me in the right direction?

I don't think it's quite that. 
Region A = Americas (formerly R1, R4), Japan (R2), HK and Korea (R3)
Region B = Europe except Russia (R2)
Region C = China (R6), India (R2), Russia (R2), central and south Asia (R3)

I think it's pretty safe to use R1 for Region A and R2 for Region B.  I'm not so sure about using R3 for Region C, but fortunately there are any Region C Blu-ray yet.

I think Ken said it in a PM or as a reply to a post.  If the search function worked a little better, it would be possible to bring that up.

Therefore I would recommend to use:
1,4 = A
2 = B
3,5,6 = C

I realise that this mapping is not correct for all the world (specially Africa and Australia). But IMO it's the best we can do until regions are correctly implemented for Blu-ray.

We need it the other way around.  We need a concensus on what to mark as DVD region for Blu-ray region.
If it is marked region A,C, enter 1,3,4,5,6 into profiler.

If Blu-ray is marked

Region A, then mark DVD Region 1
Region B, then mark DVD Region 2
Region C, then mark DVD Region 3
Region A,B,C, then mark DVD all region

Or is that what you meant?

Yes, I meant:
If it is marked region A, enter 1,4 into profiler.
If it is marked region B, enter 2 into profiler.
If it is marked region C, enter 3,5,6 into profiler.
If it is marked region A,B, enter 1,2,4 into profiler.
If it is marked region A,C, enter 1,3,4,5,6 into profiler.
If it is marked region B,C, enter 2,3,5,6 into profiler.
If it is marked region A,B,C, enter 1,2,3,4,5,6 into profiler. Actually in this case mark the disc as "All" (region 0).

That's a lot of marking.  Can we come up with a simpler solution?  That 1,2, and 3 look more and more appealing.
