The Princess Diaries: Special Edition: 2-Disc Collector's Set UPC 786936-240016.

This is currently in the data base:

Disc 1: Main Feature (Full Frame)
Disc 2: Main Feature (Widescreen)

But both discs contain bonus features...shouldn't this be documented? How? I was thinking:

Disc 1: Main Feature (Full Frame) plus Bonus Features
Disc 2: Main Feature (Widescreen) plus Bonus Features

I believe the bonus features are the same on both discs.., ? ,, the bonus's would be marked under Features for featurettes/ outakes etc ..  ?

When features come out with one disc that contains both the film and bonus features we only put "Main Feature" in the description, so I'd say do the same thing with the disc you have, Kathy.  That's my understanding.

Judging from the fact that a normal single disc release of a movie that has bonus material doesn't get listed as Main Feature plus Bonus Features, I don't think we would treat this any differently. So I would probably leave this as is.

As an aside, I think any movie that calls itself a Special Edition or Collectors set or something along those lines should never include anything other than the OAR of the movie.

The description in the Disc ID section is filled out automatically when you press the set button (having the DVD in the DVDRom drive of a PC). There is no need to edit this field.

The bonus features are marked in the features section of a profile as widescreenforever pointed out.

This is what the rules have to say:

Disc IDs 
Add disc information for each disc using a DVD-ROM drive. Use the default descriptions wherever possible; do not change "Main Feature" to the film’s title. Use one description per disc. If a disc is double-sided, there is only one description for that disc.

Do not enter each side as a separate disc.
If a movie is on both sides of a disc in Widescreen and Pan & Scan or Full Frame versions, identify this by entering the Side A description as "Main Feature (Widescreen)" and the Side B description as "Main Feature (Pan & Scan)" or "Main Feature (Full Frame)", or the reverse if that is the order on the disc sides.
If a film spans 2 discs, add (Part 1) and (Part 2) to the “Main Feature” description.

If your Disc ID differs from the Disc ID in the main database, you may change it and re-contribute it if you are doing a wider contribution, but don't make a specific contribution for this reason. All Disc IDs will be stored in the main database for a future development of DVD Profiler

I agree that the Bonus features should not be mentioned along with the Main Feature description.

Thanks for the quick replies. I think I might have been over thinking this!
