If a DVD contains Trivia, do we post this feature under Other Features or tick the Trivia box located in the Subtitle section?

I think it depends on what type of trivia we are talking about. There is a type of trivia that is text that pops up while watching the feature. That I would consider subtitle trivia. Then there is more of the type where it is a bonus feature where you answer trivia questions about the feature on the disc. That I have always considered and checked Interactive Games.

Edit:
If it is a bonus feature of trivia you can read off of a menu page... then I would probably put trivia in the Other Features.

Boils down to it depends on how it is presented.

In the case of "Chased by Dinosaurs", which I suspect this is about, the trivia is in the form of  text pages, not subtitles displayed during the feature. Therefore Other Features.

If one were to follow the rules to a T, then Trivia belongs under Other Features per the following part in the rules.

Quote:
Examples of valid Other Features:

    Trivia Tracks
    Radio Spots
    Film Introductions (which were not part of the original theatrical release)
    Indications for multiple versions of a film


Some would argue that Ken hasn't updated that portion of the rules since the addition of Trivia to the subtitle field. But currently it's in the rules to enter Trivia Tracks as an Other Feature.
