I'm trying to settle on the default fields for the video collection. I figure it will be mostly used for DVDs and maybe videocassettes, but I don't want to limit it too much. Right now, my default fields are:
- Title
- Medium - DVD, VHS, VCD, or DivX
- Year - production or release year
- Format - PAL, NTSC, or SECAM
- Genre
- Region - DVD Region Encoding
- Nationality - country of release
- Rating - G, PG, PG-13, or R
- Cast - a 2-column table for the actors and their roles
- Director
- Producer
- Writer
- Composer
- Studio
- Language Tracks - audio language tracks
- Subtitles - subtitle languages
- Audio Tracks - I need a better title for this - it's for DTS, Dolby, etc.
- Runnning Time - A numerical entry, running time in minutes
- Color - color or b&w
- Other Features - things like music videos, deleted scenes, etc.
- Widescreen - a checkbox
- Director's Cut - a checkbox
- Plot Summary - a textbox
- Personal Rating
- Purchase Date
- Purchase Price
- Gift - a checkbox
- Loaned - a checkbox
- Comments
Of course, the user is free to add, modify or delete fields however they want. The default fields will be the ones that get translated, though, so I want to have a good set. I've looked at several other DVD Collection applications and these seem to be the common set of fields.
