| Posted: | | | | I have a disc that is the later version of one that is in the database. All the data about the DVD (except the UPC) is the same. I downloaded the record that existed in the DB. Should I just modify the UPC Code, or should I use all the information and manually enter a new DVD? If need to manually enter a DVD, can I copy all data instead of manually entering it? |

Be careful, Studios don't change, rights may change but just because Turner owns Gone With the Wind does NOT mean they had ANYTHING to do with the film beyond ownership. Distribution companies can change from time to time. For example, This Island Earth was originally released by (distributed by) Image Entertainment under license to Universal, once that license expired the tittle went OOP, and was later released by Universal Studios Home Entertainment.

Theatrical Release studio 2). Production Company 3). DVD Distribution studio That would mean in Skip's example, the last studio would change to Universal Studios Home Entertainment if you happened to own that version. But the first two don't change. If I could provide my own example, Attack of the Clones (a recently debated DVD), is listed as such : 1). 20th Century Fox 2). Lucasfilm Ltd. 3). 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment If some other studio were to buy the rights to release a new version of the DVD (fat chance), only line 3 would change. DD. |

| Posted: | | | | Let me get a bit more detailed. This movie is Guinevere. In the db the upc is 826294501234. My UPC is 82694500015. We got it when it was at a $5 sale. All features of the DVD are the same. The difference is that the studio in the db is Simitar. The studio, by credits, is Lietuvos Kino Studios. I would assume, due to its presence in credits, that this is the production studios. Though I am uncertain. |

If it's at the end of the credits then you're looking at the production company. :-) I believe Simitar would be the distributor. I know it's a faux pas but... IMDB Company Credits for Guinevere seems to suggest the same thing. If the disc is released by Simitar then leave 'em on and put Lietuvos Kino Studios at the top. |

| Posted: | | | | What about the UPC difference? can I associate a second UPC to one record? Or do I need to insert a brand new record to ensure the UPC look up function would work for this item? |

| Posted: | | | | Sure can. In DVD Profiler go to DVD Menu > Change UPC then enter the new UPC. Check that all other details are the same and contribute the new profile. In your contribution notes you should state that the basis of the contribution is the UPC # that you cloned that has been previously contributed and approved. |

It may be a locality issue., You don't have your location listed soI don't know if you are USA, Canada or even UK .,, but the disc may be a locality issue copy . Canada is famous for these. The disc ID and all features are exactly the same as another upc issued disc BUT the locality may be wrong. Is there any flags of origin on the rear cover.. Maybe some French Text ?? | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

Ok I must admit you made me go back to my record on this one ( I had not checked the disc ID ), but all features, subtitle tracks, audio tracks, Cast, Crew, and Cover Scans were exactly the same. Anywho, the one in the db did not have a disc ID, so my looking back was moot. When I am done I will have to submit an update to the record. Telecine, I was afraid that changing the upc would actually overwrite the invelos db, not just add the new upc to the 'possible upcs' list. If it just adds then I have no problem 'changing' the upc. |

| Posted: | | | | Yeah... once you change the UPC it becomes a whole new profile... it will not overwrite the existing profile in the main online database. | | | Pete |

The UPC that ends in 00015 is listed in Invleos under USA locality with disc ID ' 77546D2A4907B3E4 [GUINEVERE] ' .,, and the upc code is listed on the rear cover scan as one you mislisted as 82694500015. So it already in data base under disc ID download that version and change the UPC to 826294500015. your 11 digit upc didn't come up as there was one digit short - The 2 in the middle.. | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird.
