you know… thinking about it again, I feel like official non-music videos could be allowed in MusicBrainz, at least as standalone recordings. we’ve already got equivalents from various DVDs and Enhanced CD releases (examples below from my collection), but I don’t know that release dates, thumbnails, and whatnot are as important for non-music (tho I would be okay with these being Other releases too, but I don’t expect many others will be on board with that)
- Video “The Making of "Innocence & Instinct" Documentary” by Red - MusicBrainz
- Video “The Making of “Shoot to Thrill” Music Video” by AC/DC - MusicBrainz
- Video “Behind the Treadmills” by OK Go - MusicBrainz
- Video “How to Build a Secret Weapon” by MxPx - MusicBrainz
- Video “Behind-the-Scenes Featurette on the Making of Straight Outta Lynwood” by “Weird Al” Yankovic - MusicBrainz
- Video “Abbey Road Mini‐Documentary” by The Beatles - MusicBrainz
I think if someone wants to document official music-related YouTube videos in MusicBrainz, maybe that could be an option, is all
something to also consider discussing at some point (tho let me know if this is off-topic, @reosarevok), how to split video recordings? I’m sure we can agree that audio differences mean different recordings (like the addition of diegetic audio between this video and that), but beyond that, we don’t have any guidelines or documentation yet
