My wife bought 5 DVDs by Hallmark. Each of four UPCs come up as unknown in the database. Each of the four contain 4 movies by Hallmark about Christmas released in 2010, 2011 and 2012. Not sure how to enter or report as missing titles. I would like to be able to search my collection and find each separate movie. So there is a second PC code under the plastic and it is found in the database as
Holiday Romance Collection Movie 4 Pack UPC 008712608819
Hallmark Holiday Collection UPC 883476148298
Hallmark Holiday Collection 2 UPC 883476144177
Hallmark Holiday Collection 3 UPC 883476144184
Hallmark Holiday Collection 4 UPC 883476144191
When added, it does not show the 4 individual movies on the disk.
The movies on each disk are
HRC: The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year, Annie Claus is coming to Town, Holiday Engagement, A Christmas Kiss
HHC (1): A Very Merry Mix-Up, The Christmas Ornament, Hitched For The Holidays, Come Dance With Me
HHC 2: Cancel Christmas, Christmas Magic, Mistletoe Over Manhattan, The Santa Suit
HHC 3: The Town Christmas Forgot, Naughty or Nice, It's Christmas Carol!, The Wishing Tree
HHC 4: Love At The Thanksgiving Day Parade, Christmas Song, Baby's First Christmas A Bride for Christmas
Each separate movie has an IMDB entry.

How can I get them to show up?

Sounds like you have DVD titles that My Movies would classify as Box Sets. The UPC is for the Box Set container and the individual movies would be child titles within that box set. Typically if you add the Box Set UPC using My Movies for Windows you will get the box set itself and the associated child titles, IF the titles have all been contributed correctly to the database. Sometimes you will only get the Box Set container (the one with the UPC you are listing) as the child tiles have not been incorporated into the box set in the database yet.

Two things come to mind for Hallmark titles. In my experience with the My Movies database, Hallmark movies are somewhat obscure movies in the first place, they may not have even been added to the database yet. Major movie theater and subsequent DVD/Blu-ray releases are almost always found in the database, but made for TV movies from a US cable TV channel sometimes are not. Second, Box Sets of obscure movies are even less likely to have been contributed to the database. I have quite a few Hallmark or Lifetime channel movies in my collection and have had to add many of them to the database myself. You may have to add the movies yourself using the My Movies for Windows desktop program.

If you don't want to tinker with adding new titles in the desktop program, as a work around, I would suggest that you try to add each of the individual movies in your box sets by using a movie title search. You may not get the specific child titles or box set containers you currently own, but you just might be able to find the single DVD version of the movies that are on your box sets. Can't guarantee all the movies have been added to the database, but I know of one on your list that is, as I contributed to it myself.
"Come Dance with Me": UPC 883476093536
They will not match the UPC codes you have, but at least they will be in your collection as placeholders until the database is updated with the box sets you own.

Keep in mind that many titles are contributed to the database by fellow users, so your box sets may take quite a while to be added/updated unless you do it yourself.

You can also "Report Missing Titles" and My Movies administrators will work on adding your titles, but probably only the Box Set container with the original UPC, not the child titles within. Contributing Box Sets with child titles requires having the physical discs to populate some of the data in the database.

So I scanned the UPC with Movies 2 on my iphone, and added the title data to my database on windows. How do i submit the titles to the general database? And how do i connect the two sets of data (UPC and movie titles)?
