Adding DVD releases on Films with V prefix
When I try to add a release date on a film that is a Video film and I Chose Physical Type in the Select release type box I am forced to choose the media format in the additional information box, but whatever format I chose I get an error and can't get further. The only way to add a new release day on a Film stated as Video is to choose Unknown in the Select release type box. This must be an error!

Karl: I just tried this, and it seemed to work correctly. For Select release type, I chose "Physical media (e.g. Blu-Ray, DVD)", and then in the Additional information box, I entered: (DVD)
If that doesn't work for you, please post a screen shot of what you are entering in the Release Date section and the error you are receiving.
I hope this helps. Good luck!

Hi @karl_gustav_andersson -
I was able to replicate this block when entering "(DVD premiere)" within the Additional Information box. I have filed a ticket with the appropriate team to confirm the expected behavior when this specific selection is made, once I have more information I will post the details here.

Michelle: Am I correct in saying that the word premiere as in "DVD premiere" is the problem here?
I thought that one was supposed to use [medium] premiere only in circumstances where a title was released in a territory in a medium other than its original medium. Example: A theatrical film is released straight to video in a given country: (video premiere). A direct-to-video title is released to television in a given country: (TV premiere).
See https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/release-dates/GVUUDEPJNAW6G35P# which says:
As I suggested above, the attribute (DVD) should be what Karl is looking for in this situation instead of (DVD premiere).
