When you go to add by UPC... uncheck the box at the bottom that says Download from  Invelos (or something like that). Then you can added it to your collection.

A couple hints on contributing...
- Follow the Contribution Rules Invelos supplied: RULES
- Make sure you properly Document the additions you make. Even for new profiles.

Hello -

Firstly you will want to read the rules for contributions located here

http://www.invelos.com/dvdpro/contributions/Rules.aspx

After that you should fill in your information for that dvd following the rules, you simply highlight the dvd in your local collection and go to... Online -> Contribute DVD Profile

you will then be asked to give notes on your contribution... they should basically state where you got your information from, even if you got it from the disc, you should say that, we don't assume anything.

Thanks for helping out keeping this the best database of its kind... enjoy!

The others are 100% correct...just would like to add the following:

1. Don't let the rules put you off....it's easy once you get the hang of it.

2. If you get stuck ask in the forum for clarification - most people will be happy to help you out.

3. You don't have to submit absolutely everything in your contribution. For example, if you think going through the credits and filling them all in, will take too long (or maybe you don't have a scanner for the cover) just leave them off the first submission and either do them later or maybe someone else will do them.
It's more important that what you do contribute is correct than trying to fill in everything.
It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong
