What should DVDs include that they currently don't? - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

Most nowadays have the behind-the-sceens featurettes, trailers, director commentary, subtitles, etc., but what are features that they could include in the future that none currently do? Have they covered all the bases in including what you want to see?

Personally, I'd like to see more raw footage - not so much of the produced behind-the-scenes clips. Combine the behind-the-secens with deleted scenes/outtakes. Maybe a whole disc of cutting room floor material.

And maybe marketing features - how they decided to market the movie, making the trailers, poster design etc.?

What's missing?

I'd like for movies with video game tie ins to have game demos on the disc, or include this in the package.

I'd like to see more discs include a descriptive video service track, which not very many do now.

They work well as a sort of book-on-tape effect, describing what's happening on screen. Intended for the visually impaired, it's also nice to just lay back and hear a story

i wish there were more discs with isolated scores. this is becoming pretty common, but a lot of the time a movie will come out that just demands an isolated score, and they don't do one (Requiem for a Dream, for instance). It's like watching a long, long music video.
