I just reposted this in the Technical Help Forum... Sorry!

I am hoping that someone here may have a solution for me....

I just received a 2-disc collection of Lombard and Powell Comedy.  There are 2 movies on each disc for a total of 4 films in the set.

This set is not in the Invelos DB.

However, the individual movies are in the DB.  I know how to add a movie into my collection and then change the UPC code to the Disc ID for the first movie. 

Now, is there a way to add the second movie into my collection and then capture the cast and crew from the individual DVD and then ADD it to the disc that I have created for the first movie? 

Of course, I would put a divider in the Cast and Crew with the name of the second movie.

I know you can copy the entire cast of the second movie and then close the DVD profile, and open the first DVD profile, then paste the entire cast from the second onto the profile of the first... but instead of adding it to the existing cast... it REPLACES the entire cast. 

There must be some way to merge the info from two profiles onto one for these situations...isn't there?

Thank you.

just keep what you have and change the UPC and locality  make one a parent  the others children  and then submit the whole works as a new contrition ..... including scans if you can ..

if any one doesn't like  it  keep changing till it gets accepted .. if no one objects and it is a new contribution it usually gets accepted the same day ....

Not a lot of time since all the cast/crew data is already in, just needs to be copied over.

But I see where you are coming from.

I think if you copy the cast from an existing profile, then click "add and append" it will add it to the other profile while keeping what is already on that profile being added to. It works for crew, should work for cast also.
