As title.

I bought a box set of three Bear Grylls DVD's, and the slipcase and the three amaray cases inside are all the same EAN Number:
5060162452241

When I typed it in to add the set, DVD Profiler came up with:
Born Survivor: Bear Grylls: Bear Eats
http://www.invelos.com/ProfileLinks.aspx?id=5060162452241.4

The cover for the one that is already on dvdp and looks correct, though the EAN is the same as the set I'm trying to add or contribute.

Do I edit the profile already online or how do I go around being able to contribute this set and the contents?

Also the EAN is on the bottom of the box set rather than the back, which I believe is required. What would be the best way to show that the slipcase matches the contents?

Cheers

Unfortunately there is no way I know of to get the parent profile in since there is already a correct profile using that UPC. But in the case of the individual discs you can add those using the disc ID. Putting the disc in your  DVD Rom and adding it that way.  As for the parent as far as I can tell you would have to make a manual profile for it (which can't be contributed)... add by title and untick download from Invelos.

Edit:
To answer your question. No do not update what is already there. You would be messing up the profile on the people that have that original disc.

The problem here is that that disc already there is meant to be part of the set, so it's not enabling anyone to get the set put on there at all.

Each of the three titles in the set share the same EAN as the slipcase, so it's as if whoever put that one up bought it second hand not knowing that it is part of a set of three.... if you see what I mean.

Oh! What is there now is one of the discs that is in the set? In that case you should be able to change what is there now to the parent profile... and add each disc by disc id.

You just want to make sure you are perfectly clear in your notes on what you are doing. And be sure to put in your notes that the disc there now is being added by disc ID.

Yes mate, that's correct (image below)

Whoever done that profile only added the one disc from the set rather than the set which is three discs:



I got them scanned at 600dpi so I'll update the profile then and put in the right images etc....

Thanks for the help.

Oh, they usually want  the barcode in the image. Does it matter that it is not on the rear of the case at all?
(there is no bar code on the back at all, it's just the rear image as the bar code is on the bottom on the bottom)

That is common with box sets. It won't matter that the UPC is not on the back image in these cases. If you want to be on the safe side you can just add a little note stating the UPC is on the bottom of the box set so not in the image. Though you shouldn't even need to do that much.

Ok cheers for the help, time to get to work.

Got some missing images I'm going to contribute too.

So glad after all these years using dvdp I'm going to be able to start contributing properly myself

edit: I must admit, I'm gritting my teeth a bit as I strip the plastic wrap off of the sets and films that have it on, but it's all for a good cause and I rarely take them off the shelf anyway as I rip them for my media player then all the discs just sit there happy never being used.... I still enjoy sitting there looking at them with a nostalgic feel to myself

And it is appreciated. 

One piece of advice I would give... if you get any no votes do not take them personal. They aren't meant that way. They only mean to let you know of any mistakes that are made. As all profiles must follow the Rules for the online database.

That is understood.

I once corrected a title, then read the contribution rules and realised I made a mistake. Obviously that one was rejected.

I have contributed a couple of images in the past, and a profile I think (not that I can see them on my contribution page for some reason), they were accepted.

I did leave out details that I wasn't sure of, but I'm sure that someone will be able to contribute them to the profile, and that's half the fun of dvdp and a huge upside to have such a good, cast community.

Thank you 

Well, Bear Grylls is recieved.... along with a load of other contributions of missing front and back scans scanned at 600dpi. Some have been approved already 

Hopefully the rest do to, and it helps out some fellow collector's.

Well,  the Bear Grylls set was declined with no indication as to why.

Here is what I put:

The online contribution was only for one disc in this three disc set.

The set is a three disc set and the EAN on the slipcase (which I have scanned at 600dpi) and the three discs that it contains are exactly the same.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v200/nero041001/IMG_0313.jpg

I have contribute the scans of the original slipcase for the set, the information is straight off the back of the slipcase.

The slipcase, as with many box sets, has it's EAN on the bottom end (more photo's can be provided if needed.)

The disc id's are from the three discs in the set themselves.

The running time on the box states:
"4 Hours Approx"

Two of the discs are 90 minutes each and the other is 43.

I am unsure of the actual release date of the set, so if that is correct please amend.


As far as I know, everything was correct.

The scan's were at 600dpi, the correct bar code was used, I used the name of the set rather than the individual discs, all 3 discs were by inserted disc id, the information about each disc is exactly how it is written on the back of the set, as are the time and aspect ratio's.

I even posted the link to an actual photo of the boxset as proof.

The other ten profiles I did went through fine.

Is there any way in finding out what/if I missed anything so I can correct it?

Cheers

edit: Maybe I should have included a link to where the set was purchased:

I tried to check your online collection to see what the parent profile looked like in your collection... but apparently you didn't upload since adding it... so I can't look.

The first thought that comes to mind.... did you get any no votes on the contribution and if so what was the reason for the no votes? Click on the votes to see any reasons.

Did you check the box set rules to be sure you did the profile right? For example there should be no cast or crew in the parent profile.

Uploaded it now, thanks for the reminder 

There were no votes on it, so no comments.

Ahh, I see why it may have been declined then, as I left the cast and crew in tact from the original profile.

I'll remove them and try again.

Cheers.

edit: Uploaded edited version subtracting the cast and crew.

For some reason the Bear Grylls box set has been declined again, I'm not sure what I have done wrong.

When I view my collection online the cover images remain the same as the original contributor put....

I have just noticed that it is down as widescreen enhanced, so I have changed that to full screen, as it is not widescreen.

See how it go's this time.

In the mean time, if you have time to go over the profile for me to check it, it would be much appreciated.

There is no reason what so ever for the decline? And there is no No votes on it?
