I recently picked up the below DVD from my local Walmart's $5 bin. I was trying to enter it into the database, but I had questions. First, should the title be in all caps (like displayed on the cover) or in proper case? Also, should the 8 Movie Collection part also be included somewhere? I tried to look up a release date for it, but I could find no listing for this title on Amazon, Walmart.com, or even the media company's website. I eventually found a listing for it on VideoETA.com, but it lists a Sept 18, 2018 release date. What do I use as the release date...Sept 18, when I bought it, or an earlier date (I know of other people who bought it a week before I did)?

Beyond that, what's the best way to enter a set like this? There are 2 discs in the keepcase. 1 disc has the 4 titles listed on the left of the rear cover, the other disc has the 4 titles listed on the right. Oddly, both discs have UPC codes printed on them (just like the rear cover), but neither UPC is in the database either. I'm assuming I need to ignore those 2 UPCs, or can I use them to set up disc-level profiles with 4 films each?

Thoughts?

How I'd do it.

1. Title= Meg-A-Shark: 8 Movie Collection
2. Release Date. Since it's already out at Walmart I'm going to assume that they have an exclusive rights to early release. For now I'd just leave it blank.
3. Since each disc has 4 films you'll need to add alternate profiles for the majority of them.

Using Disc ID entry.
So Disc 1 would be:
Movie 1=Non Alternate (Assuming it's not already in use, if it is then use an alternate profile).
Movie 2=Alternate #1
Movie 3=Alternate #2
Movie 4=Alternate #3
repeat for Disc 2.

What CubbyUps said. I would add a parent for the case and the discs would be the children.

Agree with CubbyUps
If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

Thanks everyone! Hopefully I'll get the time to pull this together this weekend (or sometime soon!).
