While entering The Day After Tomorrow BD, UPC 024543-466727, from the disk ID 54DEDCB85A937AAD, I found the disc ID is shared with a different title:

Dante's Inferno: An Animated Epic, UPC 013138-31784

I've given up trying to figure out contributions. But if anybody knows how to fix this, be my guest.

What are you being prevented from doing?

Yes, Dante's Inferno (013138-317384) contains a disc ID that is also used by The Day After Tomorrow.  A little unusual.

Were you trying to create a new contribution by disc ID (the ID is not currently in use in that fashion)?

This is the first time that I've heard about 2 discs sharing the same disc id. (I'm not talking about the old disc id used by older versions of profiler.) While 2 different discs may in theory share the same disc id (it is a hash over many features of the disc), this should be extremely rare. Therefore I've added those 2 discs to my wish list. Looking at the disc id data in the profiles we can see that both disc labels are set to DAT which looks like an abbreviation of Day After Tomorrow. While it could be another coincidence that Dante's Inferno not only shares the same disc id but the same label as well (a label which I can't see any logic for Date's Inferno), I simply come the the conclusion that the disc id in the profile of Date's Inferno is wrong and taken by accident from the false disc. This happens easily when the wrong disc is in the drive while working with the profile.

I think this is a reasonable conclusion.

I have the Day After Tomorrow in question and downloaded Dante's Inferno.  I compared the Disc IDs but didn't think to check the labels.

Good call.
Bad movie?  You're soaking in it!
