There is a Giallo Collection in the database. It may or may not match yours but I would still download it to your collection.

If the UPCs match you'll be all set. If not this box set you can change the UPCs to what you own. Either way you can see how the parent/child profiles look.

Add this to your collection: UPC 013131215694. This will then cause a note to pop up asking you if you would like to enter the 3 child profiles - press "yes".

You will now have the parent and the child profile in your collection.

Now look at the UPCs and see if they match yours. If they do you're all set.

If not, you can still use these profiles to lessen your workload. What you now need to do is to change the UPCs and/or disc ids for the parent and 3 children.

Parent: Go to the top of you computer and press "DVD" and tick the "Change UPC" and enter the new UPC. You might need to change the locality also - do it the same way. Press "DVD" and tick "Change Locality".

Children: Do exactly what you did for the parent for each of the children.

If there is no UPC then press "DVD" and tick "Change UPC" but then you need to enter by Disc ID via the computer.

You now have a lot of the information set but you will need to check and change data that does not match your set. For example if your UPC is different you will need new cover scans.

With any contribution you need to familiarize with the contribution process. There are 2 areas that address this:

The above also outlines the Box Sets: http://invelos.com/dvdpro/contributions/Rules.aspx?display=boxsets

Ken also posted clarifications in the forums:

I laughed at the title of your topic - I posted one long ago called "Stupid Questions"! 

If you need any further clarification or help, don't hesitate to ask.

Good Luck!

when you go through that menu it lists all your discs, because they call could technically be added to a box set, you need to search for the exact one you are looking for.

Do you already have the titles in your collection that you want to add? That is the first step. Add all the profiles for the set.

Main profile... mostly empty profile... and then a profile for each movie. Once you have all those in your collection (whether you downloaded them or had to create them)...then you go where I showed you. And then it should be in the list on the left column.
