| | Posted: | | | | Hi.
I'm in the process of going through my collection and adding disc IDs to all profiles that are missing those (about 200), and I'm wondering what the best way to contribute all of these is. Should I simply submit 200 contributions, where the only contribution is the disc ID? Or is there a way to bulk-submit disc IDs?
And just to be clear - if a TV-series season set is registered as a box set, with each individual disc having its own profile, the disc IDs shall still be added to the parent profile, right? |

| | Posted: | | | | Submitting Disc Ids is fine with one proviso
"Disc IDs
Add disc information for each disc using a DVD-ROM drive. Use the default descriptions wherever possible; do not change "Main Feature" to the film’s title. Use one description per disc. If a disc is double-sided, there is only one description for that disc.
* Do not enter each side as a separate disc.
* If a movie is on both sides of a disc in Widescreen and Pan & Scan or Full Frame versions, identify this by entering the Side A description as "Main Feature (Widescreen)" and the Side B description as "Main Feature (Pan & Scan)" or "Main Feature (Full Frame)", or the reverse if that is the order on the disc sides.
If a film spans 2 discs, add (Part 1) and (Part 2) to the “Main Feature” description.
"Individual profiles for each disc may be submitted if desired, but this is not required. Add these profiles to the box set contents of the parent profile. Create each of these individual profiles in line with the standard Contribution Rules with one exception - Cover Images. If a disc, or set of discs, have their own case, use the cover images from that case. When submitting a change to an existing TV series profile that is currently a box set, do not remove the existing contents.
In either case, the cast and crew are to be entered into the parent profile using appropriate episode dividers."
In short both Parent Full Profile and Child Full Profiles are acceptable for Television.
Skip
If your Disc ID differs from the Disc ID in the main database, you may change it and re-contribute it if you are doing a wider contribution, but don't make a specific contribution for this reason. All Disc IDs will be stored in the main database for a future development of DVD Profiler." | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | As far as making multiple contributions at the same time, you can flag all the profiles you want to contribute (or a smaller subset) and then from the menu select Colllection->Flagged->Contribute
This will basically go through as if you went to each profile and contributed it. You'll still need to enter contribution notes for each profile submitted to state what you did and where you got the info.
to flag a profile select the profile and then press the space bar. you can also right click the profile and select flag from the context menu.
