Can the online Disc IDs please be removed entirely for The Fresh Prince: Season 3 (R2 UK)?

Correct. In this particular case: IF the information on the R1 US profile is correct, then there is no way these disc IDs could match a UK release with different audio, subtitles, disc contents etc.

I would suggest to contact Ken (e.g. by opening a support ticket) to get the US Disc IDs removed from the UK profile.

What also may work is what people do to remove profiles that are in the wrong (often UK) locality: replace the Title with "Please remove this profile" and explain in the contribution notes.


Except he doesn't want to remove the profile - merely the wrong Disc IDs.

Apparently that can't be done without removing the profile, and entering a new one with the correct Disc IDs.

I can't think of a single UK-locality DVD release that I've seen that is encoded as NTSC. I just don't think it would happen, except by mistake.


FWIW the first release of Sex and the City: Season 1 was R2 NTSC BUT, in this case (and I agree the massive majority of cases) this does not happen and Grey Hulk is quite correct that they should be removed as they are wrong - DiscIDs are now unique so the NTSCs will not be the same as the PALs whether they are actually R0 encoded or not.
It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong

Not the normal way, no - that's why I suggested to contact Ken.

Do you mean 0-685738-726325?
I've done some digging on that one, as best I can 
The following is odd:
  • There is no mention of a UK-based distribution company on the back of the cover, based on scan in DVD-P. This is not uncommon though, but most releases reference a UK company

  • The EAN code starts with "0-". I do have some "0-" codes, but most seem to be "5-", "7-" or "8-". The HK releases I have are "4-", and the one or to Australian releases are "9-". I wonder if there is some significance to the first digit, but don't know

  • DVD-P has the release date as 07/05/2001 (DD/MM/YYYY), while the BBFC only has extra DVD content for Season One classified on 20/09/2001

  • It really does make me wonder if that was actually made for the UK market, or just ended up imported. Having the (15) BBFC logo on it matches what the BBFC rated all the episodes as, but the lack of rating for the extra content at that stage does make me suspicous 

    If you meant another version, then all the above is probably drivel

    An Evening with Kevin Smith is NTSC also (UK release).
    So are a whole bunch of catalogue Columbia TriStar releases (they even have little circle NTSC stickers on the covers). Uncommon, yes, but plenty out there.

    Yup, that does look an authentic UK release, and NTSC. Boo hoo 
    I can understand videophiles going for an NTSC release, so they don't suffer the PAL 4% speed-up (combined with possible inverse telecine artifacts, depending on the source material).

    Oddly 'An Evening with Kevin Smith' is Region 1 AND 2 (also 3, & 4).
    They obviously couldn't be bothered to convert it at all.

    Just like Warner then. So many of there US releases are region 1/2/3/4 (but not 5/6). They do tend to be titles not released elsewhere though so logical thinking by the studio perhaps...

    I forgot to let everyone know that I did open a support ticket and the offending (incorrect) Disc IDs have now been removed.
