Once again my vote on a contribution is at odds with the decision of the screeners, so I'm posting this as an FYI for those few people who may have this DVD yet still care somewhat about the rules.

Here is the recently approved contribution:



Here is a portion of the "special [bonus] features" taken from the rear cover:



Here is the portion of the rules covering bonus feature films:



Either:
1) I cannot understand what I read in the rules
2) The screeners don't know what the the rules say or
3) The screeners don't care about the rules and go with the majority vote

In any case, I've locked my local profile and will leave it others (if interested) to correct the online database.

Das fidele Gefängnis obviously is a bonus film, and thus this DVD shouldn't be treated as a double feature.

The notes you show give the impression that the 1917 is on the same disc as the main feature. That means it's physically impossible to follow the rules as written, just as it used to be to follow the boxset rules when the films were on the same disc.
It seems the contributor was in a Catch 22 situation: it is a bonus film, so it can be contributed, but it doesn't have its own disc so it can't be contributed. Doing it the way they have done seems the best compromise. It's either that or no one gets the bonus film information.

Kind of childish no? If you're not happy with the decision lock your profile or don't use the database. I do this and the drama create in my life by the database had decrease by 100% because of this.

This! You don't understand this part:

Quote:
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 the individual UPC if available or use Disc ID (read on a DVD-ROM) if not available.

In the main profile you should mention the bonus film only as "other feature". Cast and crew may only be added to a child profile. Therefore you either profile the bonus film as a child profile or if not possible you can't add it at all.

Since I agree with your interpretation of the rule I guess we both don't understand.

The way I read the rule the cast and crew data cannot be entered for a bonus film unless it can be entered in a seperate child profile.

Ok same  disc,same side, is NOT a  Bonus feature,Scott.I though it was two separate discs. The only way to handle what you are describing is via Episode Divider.
