Hey there,

wondring what you guys think about this, as there is nothing in the rules about this, at least as far as I know

So far I contributed everything as a booklet to "Other Features" which has at least 4 pages, one sheet flyers I ignored and did not submit.
According to the votes most people seem to agree with this, I would say about 98 % Yes and 2 % No votes.
The screeners accepted all of those contributions so far

Would be nice to hear some opinions and would also be nice to have this put into the rules.

cheers

The content is more important than the size... I very rarely see a booklet worth mentioning as a feature.

While I can see where you're coming from, I don't agree with you. Because the "worth" of anything differ from person to person, it'll be near impossible to create any kind of universal rule/guideline for this. The only way to make it somewhat standard is to go by page number. Even then we run into trouble with some people wanting to make advertising booklets a feature and others being against it.

I would also say the "value" of the  content is in the "eye of the beholder". So we should go with page numbers.

Of course, promotional flyers i would never add, i always throw em away

For me a Booklet would be multiple pages and stapled in the middle anything else would be a Pamphlet

I would say anything which contains info (Production Notes, Bios, Production Stills, Poster Art, ...)about the movie is a booklet.

All promotional stuff is not.

Agreed

Booklets 4 pages of more that has content about the movie/series of the DVD Release.

I agree it needs to be related to the movie and not be marketing materials.  I'm not sure on the 4 pages or more part.  I've seen a few two page or one page interviews in the past as inserts (usually with re-releases where the DVD itself has not changed).

I would agree except for the old Universal Collector's Editions which have 8-12 page foldouts, all about the film (usually a page or 2 is spent on artwork and chapters, but the rest is all good). These have more info than most things called "booklets", so I think they should qualify.

I definitly agree with Addicted and the "Booklets 4 pages of more that has content about the movie/series of the DVD Release".

Better yet, how about just an "insert" check-box like the slip-cover one? Then when buying used you'll know if you should've had something (again, ads dont' count, only related stuff would). I've wondered this many times coming home from Gamestop or FYE, and when everyone quit using inserts a couple years ago it made for even more questions.

Quoting Addicted2DVD:

The reason I put 4 pages or more is because that is where the poll is leading. Plus as long as I been here the chapter stop inserts that used to always come with DVDs were agreed on long time ago not to include... so it would be hard to make it an insert dealing with the movie/show and still not include the chapter stop inserts since it would qualify since it is about the release.

While I agree with not including inserts w/ chapter listings for movies, should that exclude TV series as well.

What if the TV Show insert has episode listings as well as episode data including original air date, guess stars and/or synopsis?
