Aaaah, okay, gotcha.
It seems like it would make sense to allow dual upcs in the same locality, and when you typed it in, if the UPC is shared, you pick which movie you wanted, even if they were in the same locality. I would like this too. Although it doesn't really matter, it annoys me that I can't have the UPC for my DVD in the database. If the UPC is on the cover I want to be able to enter it. |

The UPC and the Disc ID are our Keys. To do what you would like would take a complete restructuring of the database top to bottom. End result...don't hold your breath. That is a lot of work. That is one thing that i suspect would NEVER be done no matter how many people ask for it. Just have to learn to live with it

I know that UPC's are supposed to be unique but there seems to be a problem with a movie that I bought at the weekend.
I bought a copy of Lucio Fulci's The House By The Cemetary. When I got home I was going to enter it into DVD Profiler.
However, when I enter the UPC, 5031932000061, it comes up as The Marseilles Connection.
The question here is what I do? I've double and triple checked my UPC so I know it wasn't a case of fat fingers.
Should/can I enter a second movie with the same UPC as the first one?
Thanks in advance, Mike Exactly the same was mentioned in this thread: http://dvdprofiler.com/Forums.aspx?task=viewtopic&topicID=303682&messageID=722801 |

| | Posted: | | | | BTW Alien I guess that you don't know what Keys are. But this problem has been around for about 10 years, it wsa discovered shortly after the release of the Original version. It would have been easier to fix back then, yet it has never been fixed. So, don't let it gnaw at you, I don't want to see you get an ulcer. But, understand that it is not likely to change, just learn how handle it and there are ways in which it can be dealt with quite easily. | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!
