After going through all my 3000+ imported profiles, there are still 7 UPCs that Profiler will not accept, even though (as far as I can tell) they are entered exactly as they appear, all Region 1 titles. These are:

826150-206822 Colgate Comedy Classics
014381-080223 Goliath and the Dragon
790594-667221 Howling 3: The Marsupials
043396-072268 Reptilian
013131-154795 Schlock
786936-159479 South Pacific
014381-975123 Terror In The Midnight Sun/ Invasion Of The Animal People

Is this due to a bug in DVD Profiler, or are these actually released with invalid UPCs?

I put them through an EAN checker and the checksum is coming out fine so I don't know why you can't contribute them...

Ah, it can't be the UPC that's wrong; it must be something else... I jusr submitted (then withdrew!) a dummy profile using 826150-206822. Is the error message you're getting saying the UPC is invalid or is it something like it not matching the currency or locality?

No, I haven't tried to contribute them. It's just that they were getting flagged during the import, and I have tried to correct them since I took it that Profiler flagged them because they were considered invalid.

Edit: Looks like they can be contributed, so I guess it's just a glitch in the import routine that flags them even though they are correct.

Not sure why some imports were invalid... I had 27 IIRC (most of them disc IDs but some UPCs). You just have to change them by hand and re-submit them.

Check to see if the disc ID in the disc section is valid.  In 3.0.0, I had some show up with just the text part of the ID.  The numbers were missing.

I had 97 invalid imports to begin with. I fixed most of them, but these were assigned the correct UPC when converted but were still flagged.

That's not it either. Only one of them had a disc id, but that one looked correct. The others had no disc id at all, but they are far from the only ones lacking disc id.

It lets me add it as a new DVD, so I'm guessing it's a bug with the import process that's causing a problem.

I've noticed that importing a backup I've made without cover scans alters the number of incorrect UPCs/Disc ids version 3 reports. So I'd suggest trying to import it from a back up you do without coverscans (if you still have the 2.4 or 2.5 installed) or entering from scratch.

I did import with covers, but 6 out of the 7 did not have a cover, so maybe that has something to do with it. Still, since it seems that they can be submitted it's not really a problem, more of a cosmetic flaw in the import process.
