Hi --

I have Crazy On The Outside Blu-Ray.  I have been watching for weeks to see if the disk would be added to the database by someone.  I still do not see it.  How can I add this?

Thanks,
David

The easiest way is to clone the profile.  If you would prefer to do it from scratch, I can provide more detailed instructions...assuming somebody else doesn't get to it first...later as it is Father's Day and I am a little distracted.

Personally I would recommend creating only a basic profile first with only the minimum needed information. That will make it a lot easier to get accepted into the online database. Once that is done, then you can copy the info from another profile and you can submit whatever info you feel comfortable submitting.

The answer might turn out to be a bit longer than expected:

First of all: Read the contribution rules.
You don't have to understand everything in the first go, but it's a good start to know what's written in there.

The next steps:
Open DVDProfiler
Put the BluRay into the Blu drive of your PC
DVDProfiler is now supposed to check if the Blu is already in your collection, if it isn't it will offer to "add to collection" now.
Accept this offer, but first uncheck the "Download from Invelos"-option in the lower left corner.
After clicking "OK" you have a brand new empty profile in your collection.
Doubleclick on it to open the profile editor
Enter the data according to the info given on the BluRay (credits). Do not copy cast/crew data from other databases.
If any questions arise, or if you feel unsure how to handle a certain problem feel free to come up again and ask.

When finished check if the basic BluRay data is correct (locality and UPC/EAN), because those two cannot be changed anymore once the profile is uploaded. For checking go to DVDProfiler menu "DVD -> Change EAN/UPC", here you can correct the values if necessary.

When completed, you might want to contribute your new profile to the maindatabase. Usually DVDProfiler will ask you to do so when you close the profile editor. If not go to DVDProfiler menu "Online -> Contribute DVD profile ...", in the contribution notes fill in the sources of the information of your profile.
Contribution notes may look like this:
Quote:
New BluRay
All data taken from credits.
Except:
- Overview and Media-Companies, which were taken from backcover.
- Release Date and SRP, which were set to the values taken from [enter source here]


This may sound a bit complicated and will take some time (about 1 hour), but be assured that any contribution is appreciated.

Annotation: It may happen, that your contribution gets declined for some reason. Usually there is a hint on the reason for this given. So check the status of your contributions here.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

I contributed the DVD version of this title (UPC# 024543-671930).  You can clone this profile, changing the Blu-Ray specific parts (Region, case type, discID, audio).
My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT.
FACT: Imdb is WRONG 70% of the time! Misspelled cast, incomplete cast, wrong cast/crew roles. So for those who want DVD Profiler to be "as perfect as Imdb", good luck with that.
Stop adding UNIT crew! They're invalid credits. Stop it!

Be sure to (1)read the Rules and (2) if you choose to clone a profile be sure to verify the cloned data against the film's actual data and it would be good to include a Note that you have verified the data against the ACTUAL
ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

Can I do this through DVD-Profiler 3.6 or do I do this through the the website?  The UPC Code for the Blu-Ray is 0-24543-67132-9.

Thanks,
David

All of this is done through Profiler, not the website.
