Subject is from the new rules regarding trailers. What is a studio trailer montage? And when to tick of bonus trailers? Is bonustrailers accepted when they are selectable from menu? And are bonustrailers rejected if the dvd/blu-ray starts off with a 5 minute trailershow that's not accesable trough menu?

This is what I think is meant by the rule.

1. What is a studio trailer montage?

A) A trailer or promo that includes scenes from many film/programs. Such as a James Bond promo trailer that covers several Bond titles all in one trailer.

2. And when to tick of bonus trailers?

A) Whenever a trailer that is not for the main feature of the disc is included. Say you have the new Sherlock Holmes movie and it contains a trailer for Ghost Rider. That's a bonus trailer.

3. Is bonustrailers accepted when they are selectable from menu?

A. Since these were allowed prior to this change I don't see why this would change. So yes.

4. And are bonustrailers rejected if the dvd/blu-ray starts off with a 5 minute trailershow that's not accesable trough menu?

It depends. If it's trailers for other films/programs that differ from the main feature, then yes. If it's a generic promo montage type of trailer then no.


That's how I understand the new rule.

Nice explanation, Cubby.  Big green arrow for you.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

Just to clarify my mind here   If the dvd/blu-ray starts with a 5 minute trailershow with trailers from other movies, tick it as bonustrailers? And no if it's a 5 minute promo for the actual film/blu-ray promo for several films with voiceover that says "Pristine 1080p picture and crystalclear sound" etc etc...
...italic by me...

This is the sort of thing you aren't supposed to include.

If you have the Studio Canal HD DVDs, you will find a typical studio montage on each of their discs.

As for trailers starting automatically, like most Disney DVDs, I always include them. Maybe they are accessible from the menu as well but I don't see what difference that makes.

From my experience, with many movies that start with Bonus Trailers, you can usually access them in the menus as well. They are typically found under "Previews" in most Bonus Materials or Special Features.

Sometimes they are... and sometimes they aren't. But whether they are menu selectable or not don't matter. If the trailers are on the disc... we check the appropriate box.

Well, on my copy of Disturbia (Norwegian) they ain't acessable trough menu, they are the first that come on screen. But it's trailers, so I added them

The only time I might disagree with that is if the trailer is only available as an Easter Egg. In that situation, I'd be more inclined to only have the info in that field.

There I agree... if they are "hidden" then they should only be in the Easter Egg box.

But Automatic or (obvious) Menu Selectable wouldn't matter.

How are game trailers to be handled? Should they be entered as Bonus Trailers or Other Features?

I recently put through a raft of contributions of  these bonus Trailers,, and I'm only 'a third' the way through  my own Disney Titles.. Let alone the dozens  of extra  Localities and separate upcs for the same said movies -the same extras- the same trailers .,,  I shudder to think of all these  titles I recently put through, (and all with 100% approval.,)  are the same titles from others  that don't yet have these  bonus trailers ticked off. (the Walt Disney Classic and Platinum etc DVDs .. )
But what I am discovering for some/all of them are:
Disc One holds up to maybe 8  bonus trailers, but the 'true' Movie trailer may be on Disc Two as a separate menu item.. So if you don't see it on Disc 1  it most likely on Disc Two..
and then again a lot of other titles I came across don't have the actual trailer itself --only coming soon trailers ...
So please take a look at your own collection of these Disney titles and if I haven't sent a data update to you thru Invelos,, you may have a different version/copy/UPC-EAN  than the rest of us ...

.. and you know the type of "Bonus Trailers"  I love??  The THX Trailers like:
The Glass Shattering and then growing into the Letters
The Cowbells and Cows Mooing wwith the farmer flying around through all five sides
The Helicopter flying through the streets of a city
The jungle sounds of THX with insects buzzing
The Chords of a Harpsicode for the DTS Sound
The flowers and petals of a THX forrest of plants ..

am I missing any??

(ooh ooh)  The Engine Locomotive is another...
