| | Posted: | | | | tried to add "Mademoiselle / Theodore Rex" to my collection but found that the UPC is already in the database with different movies "The Amy FisherStory / The Swap" but with the cover of "Prizz's Honor / The Little Shop of Horrors". The code on the scan is the same as on the cover of my movies.
I thought that the UPC code is unique. How is this handled?
If it is a misprint how do you find the correct code?
code: 8-711197-210913 |

| | Posted: | | | | Hello, this sometimes happens with bootlegged DVDs. Maybe either the one you are trying to add or the one in the database is a bootleg  So far I never heard about 2 exactly same UPCs with official DVDs. greetz Donnie | | | | www.tvmaze.com |

| | Posted: | | | | I've seen these - they're certainly not bootlegs. They're just from a rather "low-end" distributor here in The Netherlands, and they indeed have a tendency to re-use the same UPC's over and over again. There's nothing you can do about it: it's "first one in wins". You can only try to contribute your profile by disc ID. |

| | Posted: | | | | I've also seen it happen with legitimate releases. I've got a US release from a "low-end" distributor to use T!M's term that is already in the database from the same distributor but for a different title. As he says it's first come, first served. |

| | Posted: | | | | Me2, I have a DVD; EAN 7321940 018096 (Phantom Below), which I had to add using disc ID. The old profile with the same EAN (21 Gram) could be verified using the cover scans, so I just had accept it. | | | | Last edited: by Gemini76 |

| | Posted: | | | | R4 Umbrella release of Deadly Blessing had to be added by Disc I.D. because it's UPC 3000000063293 shows the title to be another Umbrella release, Strange Report: Disc 5. Umbrella which is a very reputable company had/has/did have a tendency to release multiple titles with the same UPC.  | | | In the end; Winning is the only safety.
