Overviews and Easter Eggs

Overviews
Copy the overview from the back of the DVD case exactly as written, including capitalization of words exactly as shown on the back of the case. Separate all paragraphs with a blank line.

Use the Bold and/or Italic features for any words in the overview that are bold and/or italic as needed to match the case. Exceptions: If the entire overview uses an uppercase or lowercase font, enter the overview using standard capitalization rules for the locality of the DVD. If the entire overview is bolded or italicized, omit this formatting.

Do not bold or italicize individual letters (as in the case of dropped capitals beginning a paragraph).

Do not use bold/italic to denote color changes.

Never include the following items in overviews:

  • Taglines
  • Reviews (unless they are incorporated into the text of the overview on the case)
  • Extra features
  • Hyperlinks or other HTML
  • Line-break hyphens

For multi-language cases, use only the language of the DVDs locality.

If the Main Feature of the disc is a collection of some kind (e.g. shorts, TV episodes, multiple films, etc.) rather than one single feature, a simple list of the collection contents may be added to the standard overview. Example:
1. Title
2. Title
3. Title

When there is no overview on the case, add a simple, self-written overview of 1-2 paragraphs. Do not include spoilers and always match the overview language to the profile's locality.

For Concert / Music Videos you may include a listing of Song titles and length, if available.


Easter Eggs
Easter Eggs are extra features hidden on the disc and not accessible through an obvious menu option. Be sure to match language of the Easter eggs to the profile's locality.

Never include:

  • Extra features accessible through normal menu options.
  • Continuity Errors
  • Normal extras that you think may be overlooked
