If a movie is in the database, say a US edition, and a UK edition which is identical is not in the database, what is the easiest way to add the UK edition?

What I do is open two tabs and copy the info from one BD to the other, just changing what needs to be, such as region, subtitles, etc.

I bought this about a month ago. The cover art and title is incorrect. Must have been a change from the stock photo as the correct title and cover does not include the word highlights. I adjusted the US release but do not own the UK edition. Can someone verify that title as well?


This is the actual cover art:

I adjusted Beauty and the Beast BB ironpack case only to reflect 0 unique discs so it doesn't update the movie collection.

Now I also did the same for Toy Story 3 BB ironpack but noticed in the sub-title bar it does not say "case only" as BatB does. How can this be adjusted to show the separation as shown "Best Buy Exclusive Iron Pack / Case Only"?

Not sure if this is Off Topic or not but I am not sure where else to post it.

I can't quite work out how the website works out how many titles is in one's collection. For example, my blu-ray collection is currently showing 726 movies and I know for certain I don't have that many movies as I maintain my own excel spreadsheet of what I have in my collection.

When I click on "Complete view", it shows "(726 movies, 673 SKUs)", not sure what SKU stands for. I then click "Overview" which shows "(695 titles)". I manually added up all the movies in my collection by adding up the total number of movies that I have broken down and added in different categories, and I only have 673 movies as I type this. Overview of 695 movies also included the 22 movies that are in wishlist. Since I only own 673 movies, I only expect to see 673 against my name, how come the website thinks I have 726 movies? Is this a bug? If so, can it be fixed? If not, can anyone shed some light on how the website gets the total of 726 from my current collection??

673 SKU ( the number of bar codes in your collection, you can change that in preferences, only to show those)

673 + 22 wishlist = 695 SKU

726 = Real movies (with those in Packs also included, ex: The Matrix Trilogy it's 3 movies, but 1 SKU)

Roger and thank you. Should have just looked at the editing of BatB.

BTW, I noticed you changed BatB to "1" unique movie. Is this the way you prefer it for the site or should it be zero since this is a case only, never sold with the movie.

[Show spoiler](but for the record, Deci has not made any changes to the unique movies part on TS3 IP(just the title) and no changes to BATB)

Ah, you just reminded me. I had a hell of a time updating the TS3 standard edition. I tried to add audio and subtitle info but I kept getting a popup error that it was a duplicate title.

My way around it was a hit the spacebar twice between "Story" and "3". That tricked the site into thinking it wasn't a duplicate. Is this some sort of known error? I don't see any extra spaces in the title now so I assume either the site ignores multiple spaces in a row or someone changed it.

I'm surprised MPEG-4 MVC isn't available in the Video Codec drop down list as that's what 3D movies use, not MPEG-4 AVC.

jw, this bugged me in the past and I just noticed it again. We Were Soldiers had a re-issue with an alternate cover. There is only one listing for it and the photo shows the new cover but not the original. As far as I know, there are no differences with content, just entirely different cover art. I own the original release but it isn't in the database.

It seems the one listed here has been on the site for ages, so I have two questions.

a) Should the one in the database be altered to reflect the original cover art?
b) Should there be a separate listing for the two alternate covers?

Roger. Always like to ask first before I submit anything, if I have any doubt. Any chance we could have the original cover art back though? Not a fan of the new one...

Guys

Just a suggestion here.

I have created a couple of entries in the database myself in the last couple of weeks but I noticed there is no textbox to add an image of the coverart so subseqently some of the entries I have suggested mostly comes up with no coverart once they are added. I have to ask for the coverart to be updated separately on this thread after the new movie has been added to the system.

On the "Suggest a new movie" page, is it possible to make a change to allow either the coverart image to be uploaded or a add a textbox to point to a URL that has the image of the coverart?
