So, Skip and Pete - is it your position that the quality of the information determines if it is a booklet or not? That sounds very subjective...
I wouldn't judge the quality of the information, but I would make a determination as to whether it is specifically about the DVD that it is enclosed with, or is it just "marketing" crap that is randomly stuck into any DVD. Oh, yeah, I didn't even consider that. I throw the marketing crap right into the waste paper basket as soon as I open the DVD. Still, what constitutes a booklet, then? A single sheet isn't a booklet even if it contains very relevant information, or is it? | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users. (New website)

| | Posted: | | | | Personally if it is a single sheet folded I consider it either a booklet or a pamphlet. if it is a single sheet not folded (In example single sheet episode guides I got in some short TV Series sets) I would consider it a leaflet. But again... only if it is relevant to what is on the disc. | | | | Pete |

I always error on the side of "more information is better", and I really don't like "arbitrary" delimiters like "it must be 4 pages". If it is a "booklet/leaflet" and it contains information specific to the DVD, then I'm all for submitting it. What's the harm? | | | | Hal |

To me, a folded sheet is not a booklet, it's a leaflet. But since this falls under Other Features I guess it would be OK if I enter it as leaflet and you enter it as booklet...? | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users. (New website)
