| | Posted: | | | | Hi. If a disc contains trailers for other movies, but not one for the movie itself, do we check off the "Trailers" under disc features? It's a bit misleading, because some people are looking at disc features to see if the actual movie trailer is included; when it might just be some lame cross-promotion for other titles offered by the same studio. Any thoughts?
Question #2 - do the forced trailers at the start of many discs count as a "Trailers" feature? | | | | Last edited: by Doombear |

| | Posted: | | | | The rules say "Theatrical Trailers for the main feature or other films." so it's both, and there's currently no real way to differentiate the two under Features.
Question #2 is yes, at least the way I've always understood it here. | | | | Corey |

| | Posted: | | | | yeah... if there is trailers on the disc then the trailer box is checked. As was said when this was brought up at Intervocative... a trailer is a trailer is a trailer. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | Yes, unfortunately, the rules don't allow for any other interpretation. Even forced trailers on startup - which I thoroughly hate, especially when "skipping ahead" is prohibited - count. But for my local database, I only use the 'Trailers' checkbox when there are trailer(s) or TV spot(s) for the movie itself. I've posted features requests both here and a long time ago at Intervocative about giving us a separate checkbox for cross-promotional trailers, but without any result - yet... | | | | Last edited: by T!M |
