Personally, I'd be all for adding a new section in DVD Profiler with check boxes for Codecs, possibly within the Video Format section of the program.

MPEG-2
MPEG-4 AVC
MPEG-4 MVC
VC-1

Yes, yes, yes.

File level was not subject of discussion. I bet you can read out every "3D" disc content on your "2D" Blu-ray drive.

I don't see why that's relevant. You can read the files of a DVD-Audio, or a DivX movie or an Xbox game on a DVD drive. That doesn't mean we consider them to be the same medium.

Now that's irrelevant, because we only contribute "DVD Video, HD-DVD Video, and Blu-ray Video" discs (verbatim from The Rules). So back on topic, can you read out a Blu-ray media with a DVD drive?

And another 7-page thread full of relevance.

To sum it up somewhat:
- In the OP you can find a proposal for an addition to the program
- Some users see it as an improvement
- Others don't

Whether the proposal from the OP gets implemented or not is not up to the users of this forum, but up to Invelos.

I suggest everyone now goes back to something of more importance.
... How about making some improvements to the database?

You mean instead of posting in this topic? Thank you for the suggestion, Kathy, and your insightful self-referential message.

I would like to see a logo next to the region coding too for 3D capable titles. And I would like to have a search option for this, too (same goes for region codes, I can so far only search either BDs with region A or B or C but not with combinations of the three region codes).

You can. Just create a Custom Media Type and add a Blu-ray 3D logo. You can also filter by Media Type.

I guess I look at it as a different format and not media type.

For example, about a decade ago was DIVX (Circuit City rental format). DIVX DVDs were only playable on DIXV players, but could play regular DVDs. Thus regular DVD players couldn't play them even though they were DVD discs.

The same thing as Blu-Ray 3-D.
Sure it's a Blu-Ray, but I just tried playing Transformers: Dark of the Moon 3D Blu-Ray and on my regular Blu-Ray player all I got was a message stating that I need a 3D player and 3D TV to watch it.

So the 3D BR is completely useless to me at this moment and isn't compatible at all with regular BR players.

So yes, I agree that 3D should be added to either features or Media depending on the actual 3D process used as well as compatibility issues.

It is so simple. I just need to find all my 3D Blu-rays I have with one click in my collection. Not make a 3D collection or such things, I have one collection and will find with one click all my 3D, thats simple, not? And that's the request all the normal users have.

I don't care if it is the same media or not with all those discussions, this does not interest the enduser DVD Profiler is living from beause they pay for it, I just need this above. Until now I write 3D in each title I have and then I can search 3D and get them all. But this is not the solution, as there are always tries to remove in certain contributions the 3D. So I have to lock it locally.

How it is done is not important, but we must be able to search 3D films in the database, localy and online and find them. Online searching is a pain sometimes, when you see a lot of films with the same title and you search for the 3D version. Why must this be so compliate?

In the interim, until the next update, I have one word for all these discussions. "Tags". They really work.
