Because they have no UPC then they have to be entered by Disc ID.

As you say you don't have a bluray drive (who does!) then the only way you can create them is by using a manual profile and entering all the information yourself. However you cannot contribute it to the database.

Unfortunately titles like this will just have to wait until someone who owns it gets a BD drive for their PC. Then they can submit it.

So unfortunately there is no way to share profiles like this, we just have to create themselves.

Ugh..was afraid you were gonna say that!  I'll wait and do that some night when I can't sleep..heh

Here is a workaround:

Since you can't play them in your PC DVD rom at this point anyway,, forgot about Disc ID.,, .
Now take the three SpiderMan regular movies that are in regular DVD format and put them/ transfer the UPC codes  into your data base as all 'children'  underneath the box set of the Triolgy.. Now edit each of those three movies by unticking the DVD Box and clicking on the BluRay tab, .

Now you have the best of all worlds., You may want to fine tune each of the entries, but at least you now have all the important factors in place Except for one and that is UPC  or Disc ID.. Scan or capture the new Cover art for each of the children, then  Lock them off so they can't be changed by default in the future.

That's not entirely true.  It's quite possible to share manually entered profiles.  Not as easy as regular profiles, but it can be done.

I've found the easiest way is to backup your database, create a new database, restore the profiles you want to share to the new database, backup that database, then send it to the person you wish to share with.  They can then restore that to their main database.

You are correct, it can be done however it's even easier than what you say 

Flag the profiles you want to backup. Then go to File > Backup Database  > Check the "Back up flagged entries only" box > OK

You now have a backup of just the flagged entries you can send to someone.  Not sure when this function was added but it sure is a nice one.


It should be noted that when you restore it just make sure you check the "Restore Specific Profiles" option. 

GRRRRRRRR!!!! You just hadda do that to me didn't you, Smee. Thanks....I think.         At least the price isn't terrible.

Gee, I bet that means an upgrade to my video card too<gulp>

<slaps> Doc, Go wash your mouth out. I don't have plans for a new system for a while. I am trying to figure out exactly what will require upgrading.            Fingers crossed.

Fortunately my local dealer is out of stock on LG....for now.
