Need some help with determining a writing credit there are 3 credits in the film the first is for "From a book by" which would be OMB the third credit is for "Screenplay by" that would be Screenwriter, It's the second credit I'm having trouble with this is for "Adapted By" at the moment the credit is OMB but I'm not sure this is right, I'm assuming this is the first screenplay adapted from the book so maybe should be Writer?

I would use OMB for the "Adapted by" also - in this case I believe the original novel/book was adapted to a screen story or something similar, and then the screenplay was based on this adaptation.

Writer would be wrong - only "Written by" and "Writer" get this credit in DVD Profiler.
