is there a way to add alternate versions of one film, that can be made a part of one file in itunes?

for example, i don't want 2 separate versions of the same film showing up in itunes separately.

doesn't itunes extras combine multiple 'goodies' from one film to one file? can i manipulate itunes to do something similar but make 2 films one file? with an option to play the alternate version inside the film? (referring to iTunes 11 here)

It's possible you would need to know how to write a fair bit of code - no GUI for iTunes Extras yet.

Very good question since a lot of times you'll get unrated and rated in the same BD set. iTunes still has a lot of work to do to come close to replacing BDs. The video quality is pretty much there, and I like the early digital releases. But that's about where the advantages end. I could go on a rant for years about the audio quality when using a sound system.

Yea for me I prefer having different cover art for Director's Cut versus Theatrical - it's also nice to see that I have a different version - in the physical realm I could visually see I have either a boxed set or multiple copies of the movie with separate purchases and in iTunes I prefer having the separate entries.
