General Eligibility Criteria

DVD Movies with game demos are allowed. -> (Demos for PC, Xbox, etc -- NOT Flash games)

DVD Games allowed, must be the primary content of the disc and be interactive.

Interactive driving theory test / highway code etc. instructional DVDs are not eligible.

Nuon-enhanced DVDs are eligible and should be placed under DVD-Video with a note in comments clarifying that they are Nuon-enhanced

Languages

As a general rule, the consideration for whether a language should be added to the field relies on whether the user can access the main content of the disc in that language (i.e. watch a film the whole way through, play all levels of an interactive DVD-Video).

In most cases, this will mean that all audio and subtitle languages available should be added to the field, however there may be some nuanced cases where a different approach is required - for example where certain subtitles/languages are only available for certain features or titles e.g. http://redump.org/disc/80741/

Note regarding DVD-Video hybrid discs

There are a number of cases where a disc is mastered as a DVD-Video but contains content for another eligible system. In this case, you should consider the "primary purpose" or intended platform for the disc. Is it

(a) Primarily intended to be played in any DVD-Video compatible device (including standalone DVD players), and as a bonus has some content which is compatible with another platform (e.g. PC/Mac)?

(b) Primarily intended to deliver content for a specific console or computer platform (e.g. contains mostly PC demos), and as a bonus has some content which is compatible with a standalone DVD player?

Case (a), classify as DVD-Video; Case (b) classify as e.g. IBM PC

Editions / Datfile versions

Where a DVD-Video disc is bundled as a bonus disc with a game, the edition and datfile version should always be set to "X Game Bundle".

If the disc is bundled with a release of the game for more than one system (see e.g. http://redump.org/disc/81769/), then the Edition field should represent each individual system (PS3 Game Bundle, PS4 Game Bundle), while the Datfile Version field should use the single term "Multisystem Game Bundle"

Please note that where a DVD-Video disc is bundled as a bonus disc with a book or magazine, the edition may be set as "Book Bundle" / "Magazine Bundle", but the datfile version should be left blank.

Pre-Order Bonus discs, First-Print Bonus discs, and other similar types of discs/editions that are not always bundled, do not get a datfile modifier. Additionally, if multiple editions of a disc exist, but not ALL of them are bundles, there is no datfile modifier. For example, if a disc has an Original release and a PC Game Bundle release, there is no datfile modifier unless one is required due to a collision.
