How long do people think this DVD should be recorded as lasting for?

I’m presently auditing a DVD that isn’t in the database at all.  The sleeve says it’s running time is 100 minutes (approximately) long.

However, the main feature lasts 85 minutes and 46 seconds (= 86 minutes).

However, the actually feature ends at about 83 minutes and 52 seconds (= 84 minutes), to be followed by a period of nearly 2 minutes of nothing.  (I’ve estimated the exact feature end time here, as it fades to black and silence over a period of a few seconds).

However, at the end of the 85 minutes and 46 seconds, the DVD goes straight into a series of interviews that aren’t mentioned on the sleeve or accessible by the menus, which last 3 minutes 28 seconds (= 3 minutes).  These don't extend the ongoing run time as shown on my DVD player, so don't appear to be part of the main feature.

So what should I record it's Run Time as?

Thoughts, opinions and suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks!

The DVD is Stiff Little Fingers: At the Edge Live and Kickin' (EAN 636551522175).

I would agree with that.

I'm going to have to say 86 minutes.  Even though there's nothing that follows that, if that last chapter doesn't end until 85:46, who's to say those remaining two minutes weren't intended by the filmmaker?

I honestly don't care what the filmmaker intended.  All I care about is how long the actual feature is.

I like the 84 minute choice.  That's how much time I need to invest.

Still, most people would see the length on their DVD player and just enter that.

The fact that this isn't in the database yet tells me that you can safely pick whatever makes sense to you and no one is likely to complain all that much.

I'd say 84 minutes (unless John Cage did the score).

I understand that most people will just use the time feature of their player to measure the length and therefore not catch this oddity.

I would go with 84 minutes and then add the interviews as Easter Eggs, since they seem not mentioned elsewhere.

I'm going with 86 minutes. Even though the last two minutes are only black, technically it is encoded in the file, which is usually what I go by. Otherwise you leave the door open for various kinds of interpretation. So basically, I go with what is hardcoded on the disc.
