That's basically how I define it... any video that does not fit within the other categories regardless of the material. But if it is entirely unrelated to the film, I would also add the name to "Other Features."

Well, I think there will always be grey areas. Bottom line is, the distributor thought the additional material was close enough to the movie of the profile to have it included. Which is one way of interpreting "regarding the film, or those associated with it".

But I see your point. For instance, in later releases of "Saving Private Ryan" the documentary "Shooting War" was included. This documentary is handled in the profile I have as something mentioned in the "Other features", fair enough for me. This way it gets the same treatment as the 1925 Ben-Hur movie, included with later releases of the later, best known, "Ben-Hur". Or things like additional shorts with other profiles (IIRC Looney Tunes shorts with the 1938 Adventures of Robin Hood: on topic, but not on the movie, though the shorts might never have been made if that movie never was...).

Note this is irrespective of where that other material is located. If it is on a separate disk, it may also be put on a separate child profile -- but this doesn't remove the "Other features" texts.

To me, if a contributor finds it too removed from the movie's profile, mentioning it in "Other features" is OK for me. If you download the info and don't like it you can always remove it and lock features. Again, however strict you may (re)define the rules on this, there will always pop up something that seems to be a grey area. So, for me, no need to tinker with the rules here.

I would say no to Audition Tapes and Make Up videos as Featurettes... because they are not "Documentary Material" in the cases I have seen at least. I always use Other Features for this.

The ones I seen was nothing more then the video of their audition... or a running video test of how the makeup looks. Nothing else to go with it, no that I do not believe would be considered a documentary featurette in any sense.

Now if Invelos wants to clarify what is meant by "Documentary Material" to include such videos that has no documentary information with them... that would be fine with me. Till then... I will continue to vote and contribute on how I read this rule to be. Which would not include such video clips.

Well, it boils down to the difference between "documentary" and "(raw) documentational material".

I see Pete's point that a documentary is an 'edited' film, with its own director, film editor etc. Raw material doesn't make a documentary yet.

However, what is important here are the rules as quoted in the very first post of this thread. Saying "Any video documentary material regarding the film, or those associated with it." Bold setting by me.

To me that signifies that unedited casting video's etc. are, as far as Invelos is concerned, featurette stuff.

Just for the record, I hate that unedited stuff. I consider it to be cheap fillers. I really DO appreciate properly made documentaries, be that a "making of..." or with a topic that goes a bit further. But Invelos makes the rules, not me    sniff...
