| | Posted: | | | | Greetings all.
Forgive me if this leads to an obvious answer which I have not as yet discovered. Living in Blighty, our Region 2 DVD's are issued some time after those of you, blessed to live in a Region 1 world, have had access to them. As a result, I have often noticed that whilst a Region 2 DVD has not been 'contributed', the Region 1 version has.
Attempting a shortcut, I recently took a Canadian post of the Rolling Stones 'Shine A Light' and edited it (changed the region, changed to PAL, new cover scan etc) and submitted it as a Region 2 post - and mentioned I'd done so in the comments box. It was rejected because the EAN on the cover scan didnt match the EAN on the original (Canadian) post. Fair enough, but I can't see how to change the EAN in the 'edit profile' pop up.
Stikes me that, at the end of the day, the movie has has the same actors, crew, overview etc etc (it's the same movie) what's the point in making us who live in a Region 2 world have to start from scratch to contribute when someone has probably done most of the hard work of data entry (albeit with an odd bit of 'new world' spelling) already? Or... have I just not figured how to do that yet? | | | | Gonna jump...gonna jump... |

| | Posted: | | | | first, check out the contribution forums for questions like this, your more likely to get a quicker answer (and probably more of them). Also check there for info on "cloning" profiles also, make sure you read the rules before you contribute (and any questions feel free to ask over in the contribution forums) however to answer your question, to change the upc, and you also need to change the locality) select the dvd menu option and then the change upc/ean (or locality) option -Agrare |

| | Posted: | | | | will do. I've changed the EAN (thanks for the advice) but does my 'edited' Canadian version replace the Canadian version or join it? | | | | Gonna jump...gonna jump... |

| | Posted: | | | | Once EAN or Locality is changed, a contribution will be a new entry in the database. |

| | Posted: | | | | @ tcremote: Here's a guide on how to do what you attempted to do. It's called cloning. Please make sure to verify the cast and crew listed matches your own disc. Sometimes these vary across different regions and/or movie cuts. |
