| | Posted: | | | | It seems that you have more than one DVD with the same EAN/UPC.
Is this by any chance a DVD box with more than one movie? If so, you have to add it by DiscId.
Even if it's not, you can't use the same EAN/UPC for different titles in your collection, you have to add it by DiscId. | | | Karsten

| | Posted: | | | | Try searching for UPC 5060092908382 in the Add DVD dialog to see if it returns The Abduction. If not, remove the profile from your collection and re-add it (or change the UPC on your copy and refresh the profile).
If it returns as The Abduction, locate the DVD or view the image and compare the UPC on the back cover. If it matches your Nightwaves, there's nothing you can do as this shouldn't be possible. Try adding the DVD by inserting the disc into your DVD drive and add by the Disc ID if so. |

| | Posted: | | | | The Abduction in the collection - which is disk #1 in the alphabetical order - has the EAN 5060092908382. The title trying to be added at the time also has the same EAN 5060092908382.
I've got a lot of DVDs with the same barcodes. For example, I hold in my hand three DVDs with the EAN of 5000358689266 (and think there's been others). They have a different Item # above the barcode, but the cruicial barcode number is the same. The program often asks me to "select" the right title, how can I get it to do the same for different titles? If not, how do I add them without putting the DVD into the unit, as (a) it takes ages, and (b) doesn't then display the barcode on the General Info. | | | | Last edited: by SanderDolphin |

If I understand it correctly then these are DVDs that come with this magazine?

?
If so, you have to use the DiscId since the barcode of the magazine is always the same. Not quite. My post above sort of gives it away to where I bought it from - Amazon.co.uk. The title I own looks like this:  Note that it doesn't have Woman's Own on it. |

| | Posted: | | | | Looks like you're going to have to use Disc ID. I can't see any alternative. |

Note that it doesn't have Woman's Own on it. They may have changed the cover on later releases as, when I look this up at Amazon.co.uk, they have the same image as DJ posted. Not that it matters, it seems that this company re-uses the UPC, so you will have to add by disc ID. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
