| | Posted: | | | | I own a few (usually magazine) DVDs with 18-digit EANs: a normal 13-digit EAN shared with other titles of the same collection, plus 5 trailing digits unique to that individual DVD.
I'd like that DVDP3 could handle those long EANs. | | | | -- Enry |

| | Posted: | | | | In Germany periodical publications such as weekly magazines have a standard EAN and an additional barcorde which contains the issue like this. Maybe Finland uses something similar. | | | Karsten

| | Posted: | | | | There is an optional 5-digit EAN supplement used for DVDs that are bundled with newspapers, magazines, books. Here is a barcode from another DVD cover, same magazine, different issue:  | | | | -- Enry |

Skip Of course that's what I'm doing. But now I am requesting a feature, so that DVDP could handle those codebars with a 5-digit supplement and allow multiple profiles. | | | | -- Enry | | | | Last edited: by White Pongo, Jr. |

| | Posted: | | | | Like Steve says you have figured out the answer, use the Disc-ID, forget it and move on toi the next item. Sheesh. That is one of the reasons we have Disc ID. In short, it's not needed.

| | Posted: | | | | From my experience DVDs that come with magazines and newspapers often do not always have a unique Disc ID as well the not having the unique 13 digit UPC, so disc-id is not a solution.
I have some cases in my collection that do not match the online title due to duplicate UPCs and Disc IDs (not aways with the same title in each case), so I can't contribute, and get no updates. Similarly I have a couple of manual profiles as there are duplicates of both ID and UPC in my collection.
Seems like this would be useful functionality, and would not harm anything. | | | Andy

It already does... Edit: But you cannot add it by UPC/EAN. I know you can add any unrecognized DVDs by disc ID, but I would like to add them by codebar number. (Thanks for the explanatory PM anyway!)  Quote:
