Sometimes a DVD (particularly a music DVD) comes with a bonus CD, which we enter under Special Features.

I now have a CD that came with a bonus DVD. Can I enter that DVD (with the CD under Special Features)? Can I use the UPC on the cover?

The rules state this on the matter:

“DVD Video”: These discs, included as bonus discs with CDs or video games are accepted, but only contribute the DVD Video information.

I don't ever contribute the CD information on such profiles, just the DVD information. I generally enter them with the UPC, unless the DVD comes in some form of extra package within or something...and then disc ID.

As Katatonia stated, but it is OK to mention the CD in the Features section. The UPC you use is the one for the whole set.

The quote from the Rules refers to the reverse situation of what you're describing. The Rules refer to a Video DVD as a bonus disc with a CD or game, you're describing the opposite, where the set is sold as a (music) DVD and has a CD as a bonus.

So could this be contributed?



CD with DVD


2nd disc is a DVD with music videos, making of and concert footage.

Exactly my question, and the consensus (and the rules and some examples in the database) appears to be YES, as long as it is contributed as if it is a DVD with a CD.
CD's are ranked very lowly in the scale of things in the DVD Profiler world

The example by CubbyUps is exactly the situation as in the quote of the Rules. So just follow those (in the way Katatonia described) and you'll be fine.
