I'm looking to create a new collection:
Mad Monkey Collection 1: Japanarama (Asian Battle Babes)
EAN: 9789461870346
This set includes 3 films: 2 LDK, Machine Girl, and Chanbara Beauty.
It's a R2 box set.
Problem is, with the profile being no film in particular (Mad Monkey Collection 1), how do I go about creating a box set like that?
Be water my friend.

With child profiles.

1) Enter the parent profile (package with EAN) into your local database.
2) Put each of discs into your DVD-ROM drive and choose "Enter by DiscID" in the "Add to Collection"-dialogue.
3) Open the profile editor of the parent, click on "Box Set" and attach the children to the parent.

After clicking on "OK" you will find a "+" in front of the parent profile. Click on it and the children will become visible.

EDIT: After entering the children by DiscID, please check in DVDProfiler menu "DVD -> Change EAN" if locality and identifier are correct. Identifier should be the DiscID (not EAN, except if the children are packed seperately and have a EAN of their own), locality should be the country where the DVD was originally sold (normally your home-country).
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

Hey Silence_of_Lambs,
Thank you for your answer.
Just to make sure you understood my question completely, the problem is that I don't know how to create a profile from scratch (I can't seem to find an option for that), and the EAN itself is not recognized. So I cannot create a parent profile, because the name of the box itself is not a film, and the versions of the discs that this box includes, aren't known either.

So basically, I have to input everything myself, but don't know where to start.
Am I still making myself clear, or did I make it all too confusing?

You can now create any profile you want:

Ha! Okay, thanks Wigram, I'll try that one out

EDIT: Your combined comments helped me through.
My provider has put me on smallband (yes, we still have download limits here), and it seems even a small upload like a new contribution fails because of a read timeout. I'll continue updating the profile offline, and submit it once I get my broadband back.

Thank you very much for your help Wigram and Silence_of_Lambs
