| | Posted: | | | | Hey all, OK I don't think I have come across this before in the last 10 years.. Well at least in AUS. This edition - which I just rescanned the cover for I noticed I had a different disk ID for the actual disk. Presumably they re-issued the disk. Michael added the original disk ID 10 years ago. Any ideas on what to do with the different ID - or just let it go ? |

| | Posted: | | | | This happens quite a lot, actually. So much so, that the contribution rules even address it ( here): Quote:
If your Disc ID differs from the Disc ID in the main database, you may change it and re-contribute it. All Disc IDs are stored in the main database and are used for disc identification within DVD Profiler. Do make sure that your computer is reading out a "clean" disc ID: for instance, if youve got region code removal-software like AnyDVD running, that may "corrupt" the Disc ID readout for DVD Profiler. So you always need to disable any tools like that before reading out the Disc ID. |

| | Posted: | | | | That said, it does happen that there are different Disc IDs in the same UPC/EAN and same locality releases. You can submit your own Disc ID as an alternate Disc ID (just say so in the Contribution Notes). DVDProfiler stores both Disc IDs in its database. |

| | Posted: | | | | Also I always double (and maybe even triple check) that the Disc ID is correct. Eject the DVD multiple times and see if it always reads the same.
Very rarely I've come across a few DVDs that my computer has been misreading and it has required a system reset to rectify the situation. |
