Phil:

It sounds to me like you are describing a situation where a film might have been released both individually and as part of a Boxset...yes?

All you have to do Phil is download the Profile and assign it to the appropriate Boxset. I change my SRP LOCALLY to 0.00 because after all it is part of Boxset and as such that title has NO SRP nor purchase price, that info is part of the boxset data, but that's it. I doubt you have to do anything else. Note: i said LOCALLY.

Thanks, sorry but I have another question.

I have a box set that has a bonus disc, that I am certain if it belongs solely to that box set but the DiscID shows up in an 2-Disc Australian release of the final movie in the set. This is a UK three movie four DVD box set.
Do I add it to the main profile or make a new profile for it?

remember we don't add Bonus Discs as an individual disc unless it can meet this rule.

Quote:
If a Box Set contains discs of Bonus Material for individual films, do not create separate profiles for these discs. Add the information to the individual film’s profile as normal for a single film 2-Disc set. If there is a disc of Bonus Material for all films included in the Box-set, create a separate profile for this disc.

If that discID is comming up for another release then this isn't the first time that disc has been used in a release.

Question would be is the 2-Disc Australian release coming profiled using that DiscID or is it profiled by UPC?

If it is by UPC then you would create a new profile using the DiscID of the Bonus Disc as long as it could justified under the rules.

If the profile comes up as being profiled by that DiscID your going to have to use that profile for the BoxSet you got.  Again only profile individually if this part of the rule applies "If there is a disc of Bonus Material for all films included in the Box-set, create a separate profile for this disc."

Sounds like that original ID would have an Australian locality, which means - as long as the bonus disc covers all the movies in the boxset - you can use the ID again with a UK locality to create a new profile.
If the Australian disc and UK disc have the same contents, then all you need to do is download that profile and change the locality to create a new one.

OK, I know the boxset you're on about.
In this situation that disc does not get it's own profile. Instead you add it as a 2nd disc in the "Extinction" profile.
So if you're profiling the whole set you should end up with:
1 parent profile for the boxset with 3 child profiles as follows
2 single-disc child profiles for the first 2 films
1 two-disc profile for the last film

Hope that makes sense!

Yes - if the discs inside don't have a UPC of their own, don't just attach the existing UPC profiles just because they contain the same disc. Create new profiles using the disc ID and attach the bonus disc to that profile.

Edit: sorry, I just noticed you asked that in the first post and no one answered.

edit 2: just checking - you're aware that you can download the UPC profile then change it to a disc ID profile? No need to start again from scratch. Just check that the info matches the DVD you have.
