I have some Sports DVD`s,
that have no UPC printed on the Cover and are not recognized.
audi quattro à la une


and
Audi Pikes Peak - Race to the Clouds

Original from the Audi AG for the Dealers to show in the Stores, but it`s official available to the Public.

Possible to contribute and when, how,
or can i only add then locally to my Profiler without Contribute?


Didn`t find any hints for this in the FAQ, or i was overlooking this. Sorry
regards
michael

What happens if it's a boxed set with more than one disc? What disc should I use?

All of them.  Each disc should have it's own unique DiscID and presumably will have different content.

Not quite right, it's a bit more complicated than that.
If it's a boxed set of films, then the disc ID of the 1st disc is used to represent the parent profile and because you won't be allowed a child profile with the same ID, you'll have to add the info for the 1st disc to this profile as well. Not ideal, but all we can do currently. The rest of the discs can be added as child profiles using their own ID as normal.
If it's a boxed set of a TV series, then creating child profiles is optional, so you use the disc ID of the first disc to represent the entire contents of the boxed set. If you like, you can also add the other discs as child profiles, but this is not compulsory.

I have contributed the following titles without UPCs on their covers and they were all declined, I even included the disc ids, why do titles without UPC codes at the cover get constantly declined? Isn't the disc id valid as a replacement for the UPC code. Those DVDs are not bootlegs because they don't have an UPC code.

Conan the Barbarian: Special Edition
Get Shorty: DTS (Hong Kong edition)
Casino Royale: DTS (Hong Kong edition)

I own many great Edko Flims Hong Kong releases that don't have UPC codes on their back but they are not copies either.

And my special Korean edition 3 disc

Hellboy: Director's Cut
8-803252-009997

got declined too, this one has an UPC code on the back of the box set. Also declined, hmm, I don't get it
