I have submitted a new scan for the above UPC. I'm getting all no's mostly saying that it isn't the original cover scan. Can somebody elaborate, are you trying to say that it's the wrong scan for the that UPC or are you saying that I have a rerelease version that was marketed under the same UPC. I thought that the UPC changed when a movie was rereleased. Many thanks. Not complaining just looking for info.

I don't have that particular DVD, but it is quite common for companies to re-release DVDs with different covers using the same UPC.
Most of the time you can tell by comparing the copyright year of the packaging on the back cover (if you can read it).

I bought the DVD the day it was released, and the cover that I have - the original cover to the DVD - is not the one that you submitted. The current cover in the database is the official released cover for R1.

Don't have that DVD so don't know.

Perhaps a good idea would be to check the year of the package design on the case against the DVD release date.

If they are the same, then likely it's the original cover, if there is years between them then it's more likely a re-release cover.

I have this DVD. and what you submitted was the re-release after they dropped the slipcover.

The original release is one with the slip cover and as per the rules you must use the original release and must use the slipcover image.

Cover Image Rules:
Quote:
Before submitting new scans of cover art, make sure your new covers are of significantly higher quality than the existing online images, and meet the following criteria:

    * The covers must match the profile exactly, including the UPC and locality.
    * Image size must be at least as large as the existing online covers. If you don't have a premium registration, you will be unable to verify this. Therefore, submit only images you have personally scanned at 100 DPI or higher.
    * If you scan images for your personal database at a quality that are higher than 100 DPI, you may still submit them. If accepted, they will automatically be downsized for inclusion in the main database.
    * Image quality must be at least on par with the existing online covers. Covers that are larger than existing images but are of inferior clarity will not be accepted.
    * Images must not contain extra watermarks, autographs, or site links.
    * Images must be of the front and back only. Do not include the spine in either the front or back image.
    * Make sure neither front nor back is of lesser quality than the existing scans.
    * If a DVD is packaged in a keep case, within a slipcase of some kind, scan the Cover Images from the outer slipcase. If, however, the Slipcase is reflective, and the inner cover art is identical, use the Keep Case art to scan, as it will give a better quality image.
    * If a title is re-released with the same UPC, but different cover images do not contribute the new images. This includes cases where a DVD was initially released in a slipcase, which was later removed. As explained in the introduction you may use your personal images in your local database, but they will not show online.
    * Do not contribute generic "Coming Soon" images. If the back image is not yet available (as in a pre-release), use the front images in both places.


See the rules I bolded.

I understand... and didn't think you were questioning the rules. That is just me... I always tend to back up what I say when the answer comes to something that is stated in the rules.... that way there is no misunderstandings on what I am say. I apologize if it sounded offensive or sounded like I was blaming you in any way.

Addicted2DVD can you answer this for me please, I just purchased Shooter and downloaded the profile but the background for the collection listing is in green when all the others are in white. Is it because it's a new title? Thanks in advance and no worries.

yeah... new release titles (I think current and last week titles?) are highlighted in green in your list. There is an option to turn that indicator off if you wish just right click a title and uncheck highlight new releases

For anyone who does not remember you can customize the color and the duration time period defining new releases in  -->Tools --> Options
