Please excuse my ignorance as I am a first time 3.0 user. Used to use 2.4 all the time. Well, after much ballyhoo i was able to download or upload my collection to 3.0. then i uploaded online collection. i also refreshed all titles which took some time. it said a certain # were flagged and not uploaded, but all seem to be there as i have 902 listed and that is what i should have.

so some of the more recent titles like the "Superbad" DE from Target do not show any info or picture. a few others that i've noticed as well.

are these not contributed and that is why i cannot view or what do i need to do? thanks.

The ones without images are probably the ones that were flagged.

Goto Collection --> flags --> load set
open the Unconverted UPCs.lst

DVDProfiler now uses the full UPC (we no longer drop the first digit). Some of UPC's do not get converted correctly. Edit the UPC's for the movies in the previous list. Once the UPC is correct you can download the profile and images for those DVD's.

is there a way to get the full upc without pulling every dvd which i cannot do anyway?

cvermeylen is correct. Looking at Hot Fuzz in your collection it hasn't been able to automatically convert the UPC so it's showing up as only 10 digits, when it needs to be 11.

If you correct it using the missing digit from the cover it should find it if it's in the database.

Well, you could go to this site, and enter your (shortened, 10-digit) UPC and see if it can find your DVD. If it can, it displays the full 12-digit UPC. It appears to be only R1, though ...

Another option is to look at the back cover image.

That's too simple.
Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.
Create fake parent profiles to organize your collection.

I would usually hit the online stores like deepdiscount or dvdexpress... they list the upc... then I can just copy and paste... don't have to type the number in at all.

Good method as well. Unfortunately I experienced that some online stores provided the wrong ean/upc. I think it's better to check the cover in either case.

The method i suggested is useful when you haven't got access to the covers, like when that user posted a long list of unconverted UPCs the other day ...
