Don't you agree that a DVD is a video and calling it a movie is an abuse of language?
You can watch a movie on DVD but DVD doesn't equal movie. You can watch a movie in theater but theather doesn't equal movie even though we say "going to the movies".
The video is the physical object and the movie is the content. Same with a book and a novel, a CD and a song.
DVD is a video format, same as BLU-RAY or VHS. In other words, DVD, BLU-RAY and VHS are all videos, only with different formats.
Don't you rent a DVD from a Video rental shop?

"A video rental shop/store is a physical retail business that rents home videos"
I loaded two DVD's as owned to test what I should do and to use the program before I put too many titles in. Both did not filter on the MPAA. The other one was Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, barcode 9325336102626bargeo wrote:Anyway, MPAA rating does not appear to work for me. I tried selecting 'G' in the filters, but Aladdin won't show.

As I said, the MPAA rating is an attribute of the movies, not the videos. It's displayed below the movie title, before the movie genres.
About Aladdin, it's weird that the rating is missing, I think you've found a bug, thank you very much!

Hey! I trusted your word but after checking the barcode I found out that this DVD is already in the database.
