I recently bought a Chinese DVD from eBay with 2 movies (The Matrix and Shanghai Noon) on 1 DVD (single layer, double sided).

What I don't know for sure is how to contribute this one to the Profiler database?
Do I have to set this one as a boxset (i.e. with child profiles) or can I enter this one as 1 contribution?

I've tried to find anything regarding to this on the forum before I posted this question, but couldn't seem to find a thing about it...

The case has a UPC code (0 2519-2 0531-2 6) which isn't recognized within the database nor is the disc itself.

What I find on the WWW is not positive:
UPC: 025192053126 looks like a bootleg. So you would not enter this in the online DB.
For your purpose you could enter it manualy as a Boxset and treat each side as a separate disc
Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were not submitted. Please include the sources for your changes in the contribution notes, especially for cast and crew additions.

It's most definitely a bootleg.
Don't contribute it to the online database but keep it local.

You could add it as a boxset (that's what it is) by UPC and add the movies by Disc-ID in order to create 2 profiles for those.
You would thus create 3 profiles.

I would contribute this as one entry, no boxset. You can use dividers to separate cast and crew from the different films.

Edit:
If this is verified as a bootleg, don't contribute. You should contact the ebay seller.

Actually in general cases (not this case as it does look like a bootleg and don't belong in the database) any dvd with a movie on each side is a boxset... even says so in the boxset rules...

Quote:
Box Sets" Containing More Than One Film

The term "Box Set" is used to define any release that includes more than one film. The main examples are:

    * Sets where each film is packaged individually, and held together in a package of some kind.
    * Sets where each film is on a separate disc, but not individually packaged. This includes gatefold Digipaks and 2-Disc sets in normal DVD cases.
    * Sets containing 2 films, one on each side of Dual-Sided DVD.


See the one I put in bold.

No problems... I believe it is an easy one to forget.

Thanks all for replying..
Well, yes... I completely forgot to mention this one could be a bootleg and I already had that idea when I ordered it from the Chinese eBay guy, but the case looked nice just for my collection. (as I already have the Dutch versions).
I won't even consider to put this one up in my personal collection, let alone I would put this one up @ the online database.

And yes, I also checked for the (false) UPC via Google and only found one hit regarding SPECIES METAL TIN Asian DTS.

I won't bother you again with these bootlegs. ;-)

Edit: text slightly changed by request.
