But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | I always put screentests as Other Features,,, unless they are part of a featurette (documentary material). IMHO, Screentests by itself is not a featurette. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | It's the UK Blu-ray of Betty Blue.
We have the entire screentests on itselfs, is like 4 minutes.
And in the featurette, the making of, a part of the screentests return. |

| | Posted: | | | | Other Feature, as it is a menu option by itself. |

| | Posted: | | | | I agree with dee1959jay when he says that it's a menu option by itself.
So it should be added with Other features. |

So it should be added with Other features. So, when a making-of is a menu option by itself, it is not "any video documentary material regarding the film" anymore, but an Other Feature? | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played. [Ken Cole, DVD Profiler Architect] |

| | Posted: | | | | I wouldn't say that.
But an extra such as a Screen test doesn't fit in any other category listed in the extra's selection.
A making of is a featurette by all means.
There are probably even more extra's that might have the same problem as a screen test.
Let me ask you: why do you think a screen test is a featurette? |

| | Posted: | | | | From previous threads, I've found people had a difference of opinion regarding the definition of "featurette".
Some feel a featurette is any video material related to the movie that isn't a trailer, outtake, or interview. Personally, I feel featurettes are short or long subject "making of" documentaries.
I consider screen tests to be their own thing, just as much as trailers, bloopers/outtakes, interviews, etc., so long as they're presented on their own. | | | My DVD/Blu-ray Collection

| | Posted: | | | | As can easily be seen from this thread... not everyone agrees with that line of thought. | | | | Pete |
