DVD + Blu-Ray

Is there a way (other than in the title or comments) to show how many discs in a combo pack are DVD and how many are Blu-Ray? I could add another media type, but that isn't exactly what I want.

It has been suggested to add that information in the "volumes" field.

If you're asking how to say something like '2 DVDs and 1 Blu-ray,' there isn't a designated field that's necessarily what you want for information like that. LT's information fields have really always been structured for books, and for better or for worse, they aren't and probably will never be altered to better support other 'media types.'

I would put this information in either the publishing summary, or the physical description, maybe both. You could theoretically also use the page numbers for this, as long as you remember which 'page' entry was which (maybe first number for Blu-ray since it's first alphabetically?)

At the end of the day, there's no 'correct' way to do this, because LT is really more set up for books than it is other media.
