This edition of Last of the Living has a bonus movie called Play Dead. It's not advertised as a "double feature" though. It is Last of the Living with a "bonus movie". How should the second movie be added?

Options are:
  • 1. Edit the base UPC entry to have a title similar to "Last of the Living / Play Dead (Bonus)", then add both as box set contents

  • 2. Leave the UPC entry as "Last of the Living" and add only Play Dead to the box set contents

  • 3. Leave the UPC entry as "Last of the Living" and add Play Dead to the "disks" section. Don't remember if it's a separate disk though.


  • Personally, I would lean toward the first option, but thought clarification might be good in this case so I don't waste my time.

    The Rules already cover bonus movies...

    Rules Quote:
    Quote:
    Bonus Feature Films The term "Bonus Feature Film" is used to define any feature film that is included as part of the bonus material for a single release. These are not the same as Double Features or Anthology Collections which are a collection of films grouped together which require the "Box Set" contribution rules. Do not confuse "Bonus Feature Films" with "Any video documentary material regarding the film, or those associated with it." Those are Featurettes. Some examples of Bonus Feature Films are:

        Previous movie versions, example "Ben-Hur: Four-Disc Collector's Edition" which includes the 1925 version.
        Companion movie bonuses, example "Season of the Witch" which includes "There's Always Vanilla" from the same director.

    Create the profile for the main feature in line with the standard Contribution Rules with the title of the Bonus Feature Film added to the Other Features field. Create a child profile for the "Bonus Feature Film" using its individual UPC if available or use Disc ID (read on a DVD-ROM) if not available. If the Disc ID is already in use, create an alternate version Disc ID. When creating a child profile, do not remove the "Bonus Feature Film" Disc ID from the main profile. When profiling the "Bonus Feature Film", only profile the data associated with that film. Any features associated with the Main Feature belong to the Main Feature profile. Add the additional profile to the Main Profile as a child profile via the Box Set button. Cover Images: Use the cover image from the Main Feature profile's packaging. Exception: If the "Bonus Feature Film" is individually packaged, use the cover images from that packaging.


    So it is a regular profile for the main film... with a child profile for the bonus film.

    It is already noted in Other Features. There is only 1 single sided disc. so to add a child profile for the bonus film, you will have to use alt. disc id.

    Only if the same disc id is in another set and already used.

    The main film gets the UPC... and the bonus film gets the disc id. This is not made like box sets where the parent profile is empty.

    it is used for the Feature film.


    you have 2 films on the disc. if you just use it for the bonus film than the disc id isn't assigned to the feature film.

    you need to keep the disc id assigned to the feature in the main profile. Or do you have no disc info for the feature and use the disc info for the Bonus film.

    it should be just like a BR/DVD combo profile, only instead of the same title it would get the bonus film on a alt. disc id.
