I just bought The Octaman. On this disc a bonus film, The Cremators, is included under Special Features.
Should this be listed under Special Features in Profiler, or should it be listed as a second film?

To complicate matters there is also an interview, a trailer and an introduction, all for The Cremators. I guess these will be handled differently depending on how the second feature is listed...?

Extra features.

The Cremators isn't displayed on the front cover, so it can't count as a double features according to the rules.

Since it's a full length film with Crew & Cast, I'd probably treat it basically as a double-feature that would be on the same disc side.

I have quite a few of these type of releases...some even on Blu-ray, and I've always seen them added in the database via Crew/Cast Dividers.

I guess what it comes down to is would it really be better not to profile them? They are complete movies with Crew & Cast after all.

The rules only seem to list this which is a little hazy:

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


And also under Box Set rules:

Quote:
The term "Box Set" is used to define any release that includes more than one film.


Quote:
Exception: More than one movie on a single side of the disc should be entered as a single profile, as you would with TV Series. Use episode dividers for cast and crew.


Bonus or not, it is still a seperate movie.

I profiled this yesterday. I didn't include the Cremators as a seperate film because it's listed under Special Features. As of right now it's still pending.

It should be treated as a bonus feature film but, unfortunately, it is on the same disc so that can't be done.  As it stands, all you can do is list it under 'Other Features'.

That looks like fabulously bad cheese!  I may have to get one.

It's been approved. Film print looks good for its age and its different film stock.
