| | Posted: | | | | I find it sad that more and more movies do NOT include their own trailer. I often buy DVDs without really knowing anything about the movie so having the opportunity to watch the the trailer on the newly purchased movie is a very nice feature. Even if I am familiar with the film, I will often watch the trailer before starting the movie. I hope that NOT including the trailer doesn't grow in popularity. For the DVD creators who do include the trailer APPLAUSE !! | | | | Last edited: by danomite33 |

| | Posted: | | | | Absolutely.
I have always been a firm believer that even "bare bones" releases should have at least one of their trailers included. | | | If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.

| | Posted: | | | | Agreed, just because it's too easy not to put them on. I have a love/hate relationship with trailers. I love seeing them but hate that I see things I wish I wouldn't have. | | | HDTV: 52" Toshiba Regza 52XV545U AVR: Onkyo TR-707

| | Posted: | | | | I would think the director or producer would push to have the project complete with all parts in atendance. Without the trailer, it would be similar to publishing an encyclopedia set with the "B" volume. Perhaps by the time the DVD is ready to be printed, a second rate buffoon from within the bowls of the studio makes the crucial decision with the aid of dice?
Re DoubleDownAgain: Yeah if a trailer gives the story away, it has gone too far. Fortunately, most trailers help me form the correct mental image to stay with the story. | | | | Last edited: by danomite33 |

| | Posted: | | | | I'm with you on the sad part. My wife and I usually want to see a trailer before we watch a movie and it's frustrating when we have to get up, go to the computer, find the trailer and watch it there. I have been collecting trailers since 2001 and it's up too 600+GB and counting. When I add a movie to DVDP, I attach my trailer to my links. I have almost every trailer, in HD, that Apple has posted on their website since the beginning. | | | | Marty - Registered July 10, 2004, User since 2002. |

| | Posted: | | | | I am not saying it can't be done.... I know very well it can be done... what I am saying is that youtube don't have trailers for ALL movies.... that there has been MANY movies and TV shows that they just didn't have the trailer for so that I can add it to profiler.
While it is a good source for trailers... it is far from perfect... in my experience there is too many not there... and the ones that are there you never know how long they will be there for. I have seen some that has been there for years... and others that disappear at any time without any notice.
For that reason I personally wouldn't even call youtube a great source for trailers... barely a good source in my personal opinion. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | okay It may not be perfect .. But I was pointing out that 99.9% of trailers ( or less ) is available on the net ..
The percentage of trailers on new released DVDs of said title is now what .. 10% 40% 60% ?? | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

That's not really the point from my perspective. And consider (while unlikely) that many trailers are often not released on YouTube by the companies but by your average user, the companies have the right to (and sometimes do) tell YouTube to remove every one of them. So, then what? It's a matter of "possessing them" in the same way that we own the movies themselves. | | | If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.

| | Posted: | | | | I'm sure the biggest reason why the DVD does not carry the trailer is cost and cheaper manufacturing plus survey says not needed not wanted by some sort of inside survey .. | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird.

| | Posted: | | | | Yea, I agree. Cost being the big factor even though finding and adding the trailer seems like a small thing to us.
Nonetheless, I still wish they were always included. | | | If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.

| | Posted: | | | | When I buy a DVD or Blu-ray I want the film or TV show or whatever the basic content is. The best feature is subtitles (my home is a noisy one). All the rest will rarely be watched at all. Occasionally I will watch outtakes or deleted scenes. Fewer than 1% of all commentary tracks are worth the first listen... none are worth viewing a second time. Extras get lost... extra animated cartoons, shorts, newsreels... I forget they are there and without a reasonable way to catalog by feature, I never find them again.
The only way I've ever enjoyed rewatching film trailers is for porn, where I don't need to suffer through the miserable dialog to see the good bits.
I want the basic content, and little else. The rest is disc-filler. Play the stuff and give lots of scene selections so I can revisit a favorite scene quickly without fast forwarding.
I understand I am in the minority here and do not wish to spoil anyone else's fun. I just ignore the other stuff and don't compain if it gets left off.
I get upset at the inability to find certain films in anything resembling the correct widescreen aspect ratio. | | | If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.
