I don't think this is a sufficient solution to the problem. On the
artist's page, the 'album' listing reads "Albums", "Singles", "EPs",
etc. It currently says nothing about 'videos'. And this is not a matter
of the physical medium, but a matter of content. An 'album' might be a
CD, a casssette, a vinyl disc, ... while a 'video' might be on VHS, DVD,
Beta, BluRay disc, ... But the content is audio only in the case of an
'album', but audio and video in the case of 'videos'.
As far as I understood DonRedman's comment, we need an album attribute
like "video" before we go on inserting music DVDs. As long as we don't
have such an attribute we could either stop adding DVDs (but I'm too
much a realist to believe this would happen), or change the album
titles, maybe
"[Video] Title"
or
"Video: Title".
Sure, such a name change would be against consistent guidelines, but
this should be only a temporary solution, and once we have the
appropriate album attribute, we can easily find all the video entries
and change their titles and attributes.

I can't help but read your email as just trying to undo/revisit those
same decisions. How is formatting them as "Video: Title" really
different from formatting them as "Title (DVD)"?
