| | Posted: | | | | The Kraftwerk 3-D (Abridged) set contains a Blu-ray 3D+2D disc & an NTSC DVD in the set.
Released May 26, 2017 in USA, it is not an import, available from Amazon.com at https://www.amazon.com/Kraftwerk-3-D-The-Catalogue-Blu-ray/dp/B06Y3YHJVC?SubscriptionId=AKIAIY4YSQJMFDJATNBA&tag=bluray-022-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B06Y3YHJVC&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER
When contributing the item for USA locality I get: "This profile cannot be contributed due to the following errors: Please check that the UPC and locality are correct. These can be changed via DVD->Change UPC."
The music group was produced in Germany and the Media Company is Parlophone.
When I enter the UPC/EAN # 0-190295-924973 as a Google search, I get the catalogue availability all over the world, released at sites in Spain, Amsterdam, Germany, UK, Japan, and the USA etc.
Using the EAN/UPC locality of Germany where it was produced, DVD profiler accepts the contribution. If approved should I leave that or replace it with USA as a correction? The Blu-ray is region-free and the DVD is an NTSC encode, not PAL that would be associated with the German locality.
Thanks for assistance. |

| | Posted: | | | | I've found the same release on Amazon.co.uk
Looking at the scans of the cover it looks like a German release to me. The fact that it's in NTSC doesn't change that (I have several region free UK DVDs released in NTSC to make it easier - and cheaper - to distribute worldwide, but they're still UK DVDs). |

| | Posted: | | | | The UPC is 190295924973 (12 numbers)
The EAN is 0190295924973 (13 numbers)
It is failing because of the in the US because UPC's are 12 characters... |

| | Posted: | | | | AlunH is right - it does happen that European releases are in NTSC, in particular music DVDs. BTW Amsterdam is not a country... (even though people from Amsterdam like to think so)  | | | | Last edited: by dee1959jay |

| | Posted: | | | | Another possible source of identifying the intended locality is to check for ratings logos on the discs. For example, it appears the German release has a German FSK-0 logo on the Blu-ray disc.  |

| | Posted: | | | | Just purchased the John Lennon Imagine / Gimme Some Truth Blu-ray and it has a 13 digit UPC and was released in the US.
EDIT: Hmm. Release looks odd. Amazon is selling this themselves, but state it's a Region B disc (it's not, it's Region Free). The back cover itself says Made in the USA, has no UK logos.
