I contributed a new profile with front and back images for the version of Superman Returns on Blu-ray that contains a 5.1 PCM and Dolby TrueHD audio track.

This is the one that people were given if they purchased the Pioneer Blu-ray player. There are quite a few people that have this version and it will soon be released nationally at retail. If you want more info on that then do a search at the AVS forums.

So why was the profile and image declined?

Was it ignorance on the part of the person that declined it? Did they think it was a joke?

FWIW you should have an automated e-mail generator that allows you to give a cursory reason as to why a contribution is denied.

Typically, the submission would include a reason for the decline.  If it did, what did it say?

Hey Dr.

There weren’t any reason(s) listed. That's why I'm hoping that the person(s) that declined it would give me a reason.

It has a different UPC than the current version that's out. That and I'm betting that many people don't know that there is a version of SR on Blu-ray that has PCM and TrueHD so maybe they thought the audio formats info and HR pictures were not real?

I included what I thought was relevant info in the notes section, but I'll take your suggestion Trinitron and resubmit the profile again.

Thank you for the replies.

Check your contribution list under My Profiler.  It does show a reason for the decline.

I'm willing to bet that decline reason Ken is pointing you towards is dealing with the UPC.  You can't update a movie in the database with a movie in your hand if the UPC's are different.  Doesn't matter if it's the same movie.

Best to create a new profile to match the UPC of the movie in your hands if one doesn't exist yet.  It could be made easier by the Change UPC function.

Hmmm this one actually sounds interesting to me. Typically in the past, such free discs, come with NO UPC # and where the UPC have words to the effect Not For Resale. With DVDs this does not pose a major problem, you simply go to Disc ID, but I don't believe BD/HD-DVD uses a Disc ID, sounds like the proverbial rock and a hard place. Any thoughts, Ken.

actually - i do believe they would have a disc ID - but you would need a drive... which very few of us have (and the actual program may need some coding changes as well...) - if not some sort of id - there must be a checksum or some kind of algorithm that can be used to create an ID.

I don't know about BluRay, but HD DVDs have both a volume name and ID like traditional DVDs, but at the moment Profiler isn't able to read them.

I don't know if it's possible for Ken to allow us to enter the ID manually for these discs?
