Okay, apologies in advance if I've got any of this wrong.  I've just posted a new profile for an unlisted DVD, being the Australian special edition of A Clockwork Orange.  Scans and general info have been included, but no cast or crew info as yet.  I hope this "partial profile" is okay, I haven't seen anything in the forums to say otherwise, but if only profiles with full cast and crew etc are acceptable then I will need to update it or withdraw it.  Of course cast and crew will be the same as for other versions of Clockwork Orange already on DVD Profiler , but I am unclear on the etiquette involved in using details already posted by other members. 

I'd be pleased to receive any direction on these issues.

Regards
Greg

Thanks for that advice.  Quick follow up if I may -  how do I edit the contribution I've just made.  I can see an error I made in putting region info in the production field, and would like to amend - does this require a replacement contribution from my DVD profiler to overwrite the first one, or can the contribution be edited using the site database somehow?  It doesn't seem that the links on My Profiler online allow me back in to edit the contribution I've just made.

Actually you don't even have to withdraw it, make whatever change you need to make, re-contribute and the new Contribution will obliterate the old one.

Thanks for all the help, re-contribution done.

Thanks for that Skip, I didn't know that.

You might want to withdraw that. I just did a quick update of the profile to include most of the missing information.

Great job, thanks.  Yes I've withdrawn my own partial update.  Next time I will wait until I've done the full details for a dvd before posting, I was perhaps just a bit keen to make some contribution, having become a Profiler convert just in the last few weeks and then encountered my first non-listed UPC with a xmas present. Cheers!

No problem.

If you encounter a DVD that is not in the database in the future, you might want to look at using another profile that is already existing in the database as a basis for a new contribution. Just search by title across all regions and dowload the most complete one. You can use the Change UPC and Change Locality options from the DVD Menu in Profiler to create the new profile. Check and make any necessary changes for SRP, Video Format, Overview etc then submit citing the profile that you based it on as the basis for your submission.

Just be sure to check against the actual film, I just did one lastnight that had been done recently using an existing Profile and guess what...whatever Profile was used was not correct and I had to redo the entire  Profile.
