Introduction

As of My Movies for Windows 5.11, it is possible to contribute details about case types on disc profiles. To assist with contributing the correct case type, we have included examples and descriptions below. Mac OS X users currently cannot contribute case type details to the service.

Case types come in many different forms, but can be summarized into the follow types:

  • Box

If you in any situation are unsure in which category your case fits, please ask on our forums before contributing it.
