Ok here is the long and the short of it. Mutliple Disc IDs are very common, none of us being in the industry, I don't think any of us know exactly why this is, but we can speculate. It could be multiple pressings of the same show (or even multiple disc plants) and so forth. What IS important to each user is that he has HIS DiscID, less so relative to the Online. But, you can log additional Disc Ids, the system captures them all, but only displays the last Contributed.

Here is my suggestion if you choose to Contribute the data. Remmber that your notes are the only permanent record relative to any given title. So I would suggest adding to your notes, something like this.

Adding Additional Disc data Copy old Disc ID # and the one you are adding, that way we have a permanent record of BOTH numbers in the notes and it will not bencessary to resubmit either of those numbers again.

We just had a vote on a similar issue. The result was that it's legit to take the disc 1 ID and change it to just be disc 1.

Poll or not, it is not legit to take the disc 1 ID and change it to just be disc 1.  The TV series rules require a parent profile, while disc level profiles are optional.

@Magmadrag:
The only way to handle this is to create Manual Profiles by Title for all your Discs 1. Such a profile cannot be contributed to or updated from the Invelos database. Moreover you will be unable to include the Disc IDs in these profiles.

True, but then both profiles cannot be contributed to or updated from the central database.

Depends on how disc 1 was first released.  If it is disc one from a season set that was released previous to the complete series release then disc 1 should be only disc 1.

This is what has been done with all the complete series releases I have seen where they have reused discs from the season sets.

The single seasons were there before the first complete box ever came out. I know because I own them both. The season boxes in the complete set have no UPCs which generates the problem.

For US box sets (red-silver Buffy, red Friends) it seems to be custumary to attach the disc profiles directly to the Box profiles without the usage of season profiles - if there's no UPC for the season.

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.

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)?

Actually, I had only just put the disc in the drive when the "Recognized ..." message came up, and when I answered yes to add the DVD, I fell off my chair when that other title came up.

So I thought that it must be wrong and that some kind of contribution would be required to fix it. I didn't realize that this was an acceptable, albeit unusual situation. Definitely gonna stick with plugins. Sorry for wasting your time.
