Hi!

I have a DVD of the movie "The Dark Knight" from the online shop CD WOW and don't know the locality. The UPC is 7321902176583 and there is no rating on the case. Region Code is 2 (and also 5 but only 2 is printed on the cover).

I asked at CD WOW and they answered "Our buying team has confirmed that the above item was originally produced in the US."

My guess is that the DVD has been produced in the US for countries that don't have their own releases (maybe in the Middle East). So what locality should I use when I submit this to the database?

I've had a look and it's definitely a United Kingdom edition. I have the very edition in my database.
But, I believe the bardcode is actually 7321902176581 according to my database - and the picture on this link...

Also see here -

The BBFC certification logos are very recognisable.
But I see you say it has no rating. Can you supply a picture?

I also thought for a few months that it is that British edition but it's not. The UPC really has a "3" at the end, there are really no rating logos and the cover is a bit different. I don't have a photo at the moment but the back cover design is similar to this edition.

I forgot to write that according to DVD Profiler the discs of my edition are the same as the ones in the British and some other 2 Disc Editions. It's only a different cover and barcode.

When entering the Barcode here you get this message

We need a correct GTIN.
¦Key GTIN has wrong check digit (7321902176583). It must finish with 1.

DVDP also says it's an invalid UPC/EAN.

Here you wrote the inner EAN is 7321902176581, which would be the UK version.

Even with the invalid UPC/EAN the Movie could be added, but I would add it to my local database with the inner UPC/EAN, change the differences in my local profile and lock them.

No, I ASKED in that thread if I might have the amaray that is inside the slip cover of the UK-Version but another User said to me that the UPC of the cover and the case are the same (...581).

I can't imagine how my DVD could have an invalid UPC number? Is it a bootleg? I'll check the number again when I'm at home.

CD Wow send out a lot of region 2 Latvian/Lithuanian/Estonian releases. This is a possibility. Other than that it should say in the small print on the back cover where the release is licensed for.

OK, this is quite embarrassing, but I made a mistake with the EAN. It's actually 7321917176583 and this one is valid. The small print doesn't say what country the release is licensed for, the only mention of a country is the USA: "Distributed by Warner Home Video, 4000 Warner Blvd., Burbank, CA 91522".
