I can't find anything in the rules so is there an agreement (or could we make one? ) about how we contribute In Vision Commentaries?

I feel as it's a commentary that box should obviously be ticked but should the in-vision information be included as "Other Features" or maybe we should just tick the Picture-in-Picture box?

Any other thoughts? TIA

BTW it isn't just a BD-only thing; the new Doctor Who: Season 5 release has them on the DVDs (I believe they've been encoded as a totally separate video stream but am not sure)
It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong

I would be fine with both solutions:

PiP sounds fine, filing it under "Other Features" soundfs good too.

The Ghostbusters DVD has 'in vision' commentary too (possibly only the Region 1). Harold Ramis and company come up as silhouettes as if you're sitting behind them at the cinema.

Of course it's been hardcoded, DVD is not capable of overlaying two separate video streams. That was only introduced with HD DVD and later Blu-ray which is why the PiP option was added to profiler.

For DVD I would probably tick commentary and make a note of it in other features as I don't see this as a true PiP feature, only emulating something that looks like PiP.

Depends ... if they just show the outlines as "Ghostbusters" it is a subtitle.
A subtitle on DVD is a bitmap-picture which usually shows letters, but it can show black silhouettes just as well.
