I've recently bought "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: The Complete Third Season" on Region 2 (UK) DVD.

I entered the barcode - 7321900733748, and the correct profile was found and downloaded...

It is, however, fairly obvious that this profile is wrong and has just been 'cloned' from the United States version. The Cover Scans are for the Region 1 release and the Disc IDs match the profile for Region 1 (US) (EAN-012569-733749).

The Disc IDs I have, which is the original UK release (not a re-release), don't match these at all.

I can easily scan and replace the Cover Scans and correct everything else, that isn't a problem.
But, if I add the correct Disc IDs, am I correct in thinking the original very incorrect ones will still be there?

Can these be removed entirely?

Try reading the full post, Skip, not just the thread title... 

He felt they should be removed because they're the disc ID's of the R1-version of this set, where the profile was cloned from. These disc ID's really don't belong on this UK R2-version. It's not that multiple ID's for discs in this specific set exist - instead, the profile had the ID's of a different set.

Personally, I guess it really doesn't hurt us that much, but Greyhulk sure is right: those disc ID's of the corresponding American region 1-set really should not be associated with this set. Overwriting them with the correct ones solves the immediate problem, but according to Ken the others remain associated with the profile, even though we don't see it. In case of multiple disc ID's that's great, but these ID's don't belong here.

Tim:

That proves nothing, if it is a multi-region Disc or set of Discs then it is reasonable to presume that the Disc IDs were packaged for different reasons. yes I did read the post   and my conclusion remains the same. Why do you always try to be offensive instead of using your head.

Skip

Now how would be able to determine the viability of the same DiscIds beimng sent elsewhere because of multi-region...I don't know. If it's a Warner release for example, who is typiclayy 1, 2, 3,4, why would I as warner create separate versions for 2, 3 or 4, it would seem more likely that i would simply create different packaging for the various Regions and just use the same discs....But i don't know that they do that or how we would find out unless we could get warner to tell us that.

Skip

Even if Warner used the same Region free, I would be surprised if they used the same discs, as UK is PAL and US is NTSC.

*edit*

reybr beat me to it.

Because R2 are mostly PAL countries

Reybr:

That's a valid comment, but I am not sure of it's relevancy today. Region 0 titles are sold everywhere and the transmission standard is not relevant in such cases. There might be an issue relative to timing (runtime) due to differences in electricity , but I am not sure about the transmission standard being much of an issue today....maybe. It definitely was an issue back in the days of Videotape. I could be wrong but I think that Region 4 encompasses countries that use Pal and some use the SECAM broadcast standard.

I agree with you on the rest. but as I described I am not certain about the DiscIDs, Grey. I am inclined to agree but I can't say that with certainty.

I'm also not certain, but I think the Disc Id depends of the ToC (Table of content), so it is much more possible that if the Disc has other content, it also has another disc id.
