| | Posted: | | | | 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. | | | DVD Profiler for iOS since: January 9, 2011 (no longer using)

| | Posted: | | | | 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. | | | | Last edited: by ? |

| | Posted: | | | | 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. | | | My DVD's

| | Posted: | | | | 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. | | | | Thorsten | | | | Last edited: by kahless |

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. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | 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. | | | DVD Profiler for iOS since: January 9, 2011 (no longer using)
