| | Posted: | | | | Universal has a feature on most of their BluRay releases called U-Control. In the past we profiled this as another feature. However the best I can tell this is a Picture In Picture feature just with Universal's own name branding.
Now to make things even more confusing is sometimes they will list features on a BluRay release with U-Control as one feature and Picture In Picture as another feature.
Is U-Control really Picture In Picture or should it be listed as Other Feature? | | | Are you local?

| | Posted: | | | | I would list it as "other Feature" as they use both sometimes on a Blu-ray,
If it would be the same , it makes no sense to use two different names for it.
just my 2 cents

Is U-Control really Picture In Picture or should it be listed as Other Feature? U-Control can have PiP features in it, but not necessarily. It can also contain much more with or without PiP included. |

| | Posted: | | | | So far the US "Universal" releases I have seen that have U-Control have been a Picture In Picture feature. I understand they have done some of the overseas releases differently but, I haven't checked out every U-Control disc I have. Personally I don't like PiP I hate watching special features in a window.
So I guess we would handle U-Control this way, if the U-Control feature causes this to happen "Picture-in-picture content integrated into the main feature or supplimental content, not including the menus themselves." Then we will tick "Picture-in-picture", if it causes a non PiP content as well then we add it to other features. | | | Are you local?

| | Posted: | | | | Most of the Ucontrol stuff I've seen is still images that come up (example: in Heroes season 1, you get enlarged versions of Isaac's artwork whenever it's on screen). PiP would be video content. |

| | Posted: | | | | Really? Quite a lot of the U-Control stuff I've seen (granted, most of what I saw was the HD DVD version as opposed to the BD version) has been video content. Maybe BD's version is more limited in what it can do. | | | | "This movie has warped my fragile little mind." |

| | Posted: | | | | BD has the same capabilities (at least as of the 1.1 profile), but not all U-control is video stuff. |
