I think "language (audio format)" works fairly well but I'm open to improvements to that or other fields people think should exist.

I like it! Though I notice on the latest update of the Princess Mononoke (US DVD) page the new template isn't parsing the 'price' or 'rating' fields correctly - it's repeating the contents of the 'catalog' field into those fields.

Fixed the duplicate rows problem.

Thank you Sir! So now my Q is, I can just add in these new fields into already existing page 'Infobox Video' templates in order to make use of these new fields?

--Eishagishi (talk) 21:11, 13 April 2013 (CDT)

Yup! Since they're all tied to the same template the pages immediately inherit the new options. I'll be adding at least the "price" field to the book/soundtrack templates, "rating" doesn't make much sense (I think).

Again, thank you Sir!
