Closed Captioned Closed Captioned identified by the logos:

If none of these logos is present, and you are unable to verify directly that the disc is Closed Captioned, then Closed Caption should not be checked.  Note: Subtitles are not the same as Closed Captioning.

Use the Other free text box for Extras that do not have a specific indicator. Do not re-list extras here that are already indicated with the check-boxes. If you're unsure whether a particular Extra should be listed here, it probably shouldn't be.

Examples of valid Other Features:

  • Trivia Tracks
  • Radio Spots
  • Film Introductions (which were not part of the original theatrical release)
  • Indications for multiple versions of a film

Examples of invalid Other Feature entries:

  • Numbers of discs "2-Disc Set" etc.
  • Film Descriptions - "Director's Cut", etc.
  • Introductions which were part of the original theatrical release
Bonus Feature Films The term "Bonus Feature Film" is used to define any feature film that is included as part of the bonus material for a single release. These are not the same as Double Features or Anthology Collections which are a collection of films grouped together which require the "Box Set" contribution rules. Do not confuse "Bonus Feature Films" with "Any video documentary material regarding the film, or those associated with it." Those are Featurettes. Some examples of Bonus Feature Films are:
  • Previous movie versions, example "Ben-Hur: Four-Disc Collector's Edition" which includes the 1925 version.
  • Companion movie bonuses, example "Season of the Witch" which includes "There's Always Vanilla" from the same director.
Create the profile for the main feature in line with the standard Contribution Rules with the title of the Bonus Feature Film added to the Other Features field. Create a child profile for the "Bonus Feature Film" using its individual UPC if available or use Disc ID (read on a DVD-ROM) if not available. If the Disc ID is already in use, create an alternate version Disc ID. When creating a child profile, do not remove the "Bonus Feature Film" Disc ID from the main profile. When profiling the "Bonus Feature Film", only profile the data associated with that film. Any features associated with the Main Feature belong to the Main Feature profile. Add the additional profile to the Main Profile as a child profile via the Box Set button. Cover Images: Use the cover image from the Main Feature profile's packaging. Exception: If the "Bonus Feature Film" is individually packaged, use the cover images from that packaging.
