I've been trying to establish the correct locality for a number of DVDs that I've received from CDWOW and stumbled across a search facility that tells you the ownership of the EAN/UPC.

Hope you find it useful.

Oooh. That's helpful. With cdwow you really rarely know the locality.

Just tried it with HP3 that I got from them. upc is 7321917284455. It says it belongs to a Swed!

Hmmm.

Those unrated Warner Bros. DVDs are the ones I was trying to sort out as-well.

However, if you type the EAN for a UK Warner Bros. DVD it still comes up as Sweden.

It appears that Warner Bros. in Sweden use barcodes beginning with 73219........ and use 7321900.... for the UK and the R2/5 DVDs from CDWOW start 7321917....  So I'm none the wiser.

They are definitely not UK but I can't find a definitive locale for them.
My best guess is former soviet union because these are R2/5 instead of R2/4 that they are in the rest of Europe.

EAN code has absolutely nothing to do with DVD's locality.
