How To Add DVDs to the Database - and Your Collection

[Lum]

I've spotted a large number of Sonic DVDs not in the database. No, that one isn't an error. SMB3 was bundled with one third of AoSTH.

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros 3: The Complete Series / Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog vol. 1

Ncircle's two AoSTH volumes are different from Shout Factory's.

As well as the following individual releases:
Let's Race
Robotnik Strikes Back
Robots Attack
Sonic Who?
Sonic the Hero

You could add them if you have the details.

We'll see. It's a low priority, they're pretty superseded by the complete series.

Would it be possible to add the following DVD movie, as it is not in the database in any format?
Run the Wild Fields (2000) TV movie, not rated, 101 minutes, UPC: 758445304329, Starring: Joanne Whalley; Sean Patrick Flanery; Cotter Smith; and Alexa PenaVega
Thank you!

Hi, I was hoping to add a bundle DVD. The Ring 3 Movie collection

USA Link:
https://www.amazon.com/Ring-3-Movie-.../dp/B073LQ6PVS

Canada Link:
https://www.amazon.ca/Ring-3-Movie-C.../dp/B073LQ6PVS

They use the exact same packaging except they have dufferent UPCs (the Canadian one has a sticket put on top of the USA packaging)

USA: 032429274908
CAN: 032429325648

It contains The Ring (2002), The Ring Two (2005), Rings (2017)


Also there are several 4 film favorites sets that are not actually showing the movies contained in them. They were added to the database as a DVd with a single movie created as that set.

4 Film Favorites: Epic Adventures for one has this issue:
https://www.blu-ray.com/dvd/4-Film-F...res-DVD/73972/
It has itself listed instead of the 4 films that are supposed to be in it
Alexander: Director's Cut, Antony & Cleopatra, Clash of the Titans, Troy

Yep, I'm fixing those all the time. Unfortunately, the mods have seemed to slow down a lot when it comes to approving changes (at least for me).

As for the Ring set, I can add that in a few hours.

Thanks so much!

I will contribute more things as I find them. Got a lot of DVD sets that aren’t on the site or ones that are on the site but not properly linked to movies.

I appreciate it!

Some others:
Back to the Future 25th Anniversary Trilogy Blu-Ray (CAN) only has the original and not 2 or 3 show up.

Missing cover art:
Along Came Polly / Reality Bites / Mystery Men Triple Feature DVD (US/CAN)
https://www.blu-ray.com/dvd/Along-Ca...en-DVD/207158/

The Ring sets are done:

https://www.blu-ray.com/dvd/The-Ring...on-DVD/229782/

Rings doesn't have a Canadian DVD listing, so that needs to be added first to add the bundle titles.

[khalbrae]

That is just fantastic work, thank you so much!

For the Canadian DVD I found that here:

Just click on "Upload covers", select the image file you want to upload, deselect "Keep front image" and "Crop front image" and click "Submit".

[SpazeBlue]

I added Rings, but can't update the bundle yet, as somebody is currently editing it.

Ahhh I see "Manage covers" now. I might have had some options limited before that popped into existence for me now that I am a plain member. Or I was just blind, I am not putting that past me.

Thanks very much!

Are there any mods in this thread?

I updated the cover for Lipstick and Dynamite with a much higher quality official image, but it has yet to be approved.

[khalbrae]

I don't think at the moment. I have added a couple of DVDs and they have some cleanup and covers that need to be approved.

I know it's a matter of time at least.

[khalbrae]

Got of ton of changes from yesterday and this morning I am waiting on so I can add more wonderful boxed sets to the collection

A recurrent problem in buying DVD and Blu-Ray films online is that there is no way of telling if the DVD or Blu-Ray disc from a particular manufacturer is a high-quality edition that has been digitally remastered or not.

Does anyone know of a REFERENCE WORK or reference website that lists the various editions of a particular film that are available from different DVD or Blu-Ray manufacturers with some indication of the quality of the particular edition?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

If you click on a movie on this site, you can go to reviews:

[Show spoiler]

and the reviews will sometimes compare other editions.

There's also caps-a-holic.com, which lets you compare pictures of various releases of movies. (Though sometimes you might need to look a bit closer to get the "full picture". )

dvdcompare.net compares bonus features of various movie editions.

Of course, you could always check the site listings.

[Show spoiler]

You can compare stuff like better codecs, proper aspect ratio, upgraded audio tracks, and the like.

And you can search the site's forums for certain movies, and view various threads. If there's a better edition, people usually mention it. And of course, you can always ask if you're unsure.


Normally a combination of all the above is good, just to make sure you are getting the best possible versions of these movies. Hope this helps!
