| Posted: | | | | I own a few movies reprinted by magazines, with the same UPC for the entire collection, followed by a five-digit number for each DVD. Actually they are sold separately, not as a box set. For instance 9 771129086381 40007> (Goodfellas, Italian edition) 9 771129086381 40013> (GI Jane, Italian edition)
Should I contribute them? By disc id?
For that UPC, 9 771129086381 , DVDP has in database the first item of the collection, 9 771129086381 40001 (American Beauty). | | | -- Enry | | | Last edited: by White Pongo, Jr. |

| Posted: | | | | That's an awkward one - I have to admit I find that most magazine DVDs are simply the original retail discs without the cover. You may find that if you add by disc ID it will find the profile of the original release anyway. But if they're not already in there, then sure I can't see why you can't submit using the ID to the online database. |

Problem is, there is a whole bunch of different titles sharing the same UPC! That's where the disc id comes in. So far, except where the disc content is exactly the same, the current disc ids we use are unique. It's not ideal, but it's the system we have. | | | IVS Registered: January 2, 2002 |
