| | Posted: | | | | Alright, about to make another submission, this one for "Tales of the Black Freighter". How do we approach this. This release also comes with "Under the Hood" feature which is actually longer than "Tales" (24 vs 38 min). On the back cover, they list the aspect ratios for both features (one is 2.40 the other 1.33) and both have credit blocks (different directors). In fact, "Under the Hood" features some of the cast of the "Watchmen" movie. Also, each has a different MPAA (Tales is rated R, Under the Hood PG) with rating details for each. So, my question is, does this profile only take into account the details on "Tales of the Black Freighter" and then treat "Under the Hood" as a special feature or what? Here is the back cover for you to see: http://img12.imageshack.us/my.php?image=blackfreighterbacku.jpg |

| | Posted: | | | | There's no picture at that link, I'm afraid.
I'd say: take a look at the DVD menu on disc. If both features are listed equally, use Dividers in Cast and Crew and profile both of them. (You can list both titles in the Original Title field.) If the second feature is accessible only through Special Features (or something similar) in the DVD menu, then I'd say: just profile Tales of the Black Freighter and mention the other one in the Features section of the profile.
We are profiling DVDs after all... | | | | Last edited: by dee1959jay |

| | Posted: | | | | Ok, I just checked it out and if anyone is familiar with Warner's Blu-rays (sorry, forgot to mention that), the movie automatically begins. Well, pressing the pop-up menu button, on there there's an option to play the "Under the Hood" feature, so it's not in the special features sub menu (just in case, I did check there). |

| | Posted: | | | | Thanks. Based on both your account of how the disc behaves and on the back cover, I'd say: profile both of them the way I mentioned earlier. | | | | Last edited: by dee1959jay |

| | Posted: | | | | Ok, I'm bumping this as a contribution is removing the info with the idea being "Under the Hood" is a special feature. Just wondering what other's thoughts are. Personally, I don't care either way, just curious. |

| | Posted: | | | | Don't know about the menu, you mention it listing Tales of the Black Freighter, Under the Hood and Special Features, in which case to me it looks like a "double feature" and i'd use dividers.
Also, seeing from the backcover, it lists both Tales of... and Under the Hood under the Main Feature header.
