I just added Trafic to my Ordered list; clearly I don't have it in my hands, yet, since it is on it's way over the Atlantic and then through customs. I was asked if the child profile - for a documentary included with the main feature film - should be downloaded, too. Well, yes, obviously.

My question: Is this correctly entered as a box set with two main features or should it be a normal DVD with Trafic the main feature and the documentary on Tati a bonus?

I don't have this film, but if it is sold as 'Trafic' with a bonus documentary, it should be profiled as a bonuse feature film set.  That means a profile for 'Trafic' with a child profile, for the documentary, added to that profile.

Trafic is no box set. The documentary can be added as a bonus profile (Ben-Hur style) if it is on a separate disc.

Was this documentary Theatrically released, probably NOT. in such a case the Bonus Disc with the Documentary is NOT profiled any more than we create profiles for 99.9% of other Bonus Discs. this is NOT a Ben-Hur type of release.

Rho please take note that Ben-Hur, Casablanca, and Ten Commandments in volve earlier Feature films of the a Feature Length film, NOT any kind of documentary material.

The documentary in question is called [in English] In the Footsteps of M. Hulot, produced and directed by Tati's daughter Sophie Tatischeff. AFAIK it was shown originally on TV in France, probably in the same two parts it is split into on the DVD. Neither IMDB nor several Wikipedias or All Movie Guide mention the documentary; this is a hint to it not having had a theatrical release.

The contribution comes from synner_man, who I'd really like to chime in with his opinion or more background info on why he made it a separate entry. There's nothing in the profile that couldn't be handled the "old-fashioned" way, by just making this what it is - a bnus feature to the main.
