That's great for UPC-A barcodes. (Un)Fortunately we are in Australia
where EAN-13 is the standard GTIN system for retail goods. Although
some goods may be sold by UPC-A code, the internal representation
under EAN-13 typically has a left-padded zero to "convert" the UPC
to EAN-13 in Australian systems.

upcdatabase.com will not accept EAN-13.

The bulk of my DVD library has EAN-13 barcodes.
