I bougth this movie used and tried to put it into the profiler but got wrong EAN..

The EAN is strange  8-915652-5171692
I have tried to verify it by some calculators but it is wrong no mather what..  if I dont use the first 8 the last digit should be 3 and if I put out the last number(2) is says the nine should be 0

So I contributed it by Disc ID  8BCE202C74C11FFD [GHOSTWORLD]  but it was declined..

No I am wondering if this is a rental, promotion movie or something, so thats the trouble?
Its an American/Canadian only DVD with region ALL, says DTS on front but cover but dont in feature...
Do rental/promotion DVD in US or Canada have strange EAN?

(Dont know how to get pictures in here so  )

No region coding and DTS on the front ... sounds like a pirate.

I suspected it was a pirate - that is why it was declined. The other trigger to me were the other languages included.

Is there a place to check the Disc ID?

What colour is the data side of the disc itself?
If it's not silver, then it's more likely to be a pirate unless the whole disc is coloured the same.
If it is silver, it's still possible it's a pirate, but less likely.

Did it have a DVD 9 logo on the cover? That's a sure sign of a boot I seem to remember.

The disc is more gold colour...
And the text Ghost world is printed inside the disc, so it looks real to me...

Now I am trying to put some picture in then...  thanks Lithurge,  and no DVD 9 logo as I can se...

That really does look like a bootleg.

The R rating, with the Thai, Chinese etc... languages, is a dead giveaway. Plus the "4 of encoded audio", yes you get typos but that's just a poor translator.

And the fact that subtitle tracks are written in a very poor way for a major like MGM.

The "AC-3" is really suspect as well.  That designation is rarely used on legit R1 releases.

Pictures from the DVD,  learned somthing new... 





This the best made copy I have seen..
But I agre with the AC-3, havent seen that since LD myself.

The picture quality is of the better also, so it is not a bad purchase after all.

I think you do have yourself a pirate copy there. Looks like a good one though.
And if you're happy with the picture quality and it was cheap - lucky you! 
If you want to add Ghost World to Profiler, do a search by title instead of UPC, but just remember to keep it local!

Dead giveaway, it's a boot. MGM does not produce Region All titles. See the logo.

Why would anyone boot Ghost World? But a boot it is.

The inner silver ring on the disc which says Ghost World needs to have the manufacturer's ID printed on it. If it's a double layer DVD there would even be two manufacturer's IDs be listed above each other, because every layer has it's own one.
