Just buy or rent the movie if you want all features.

Most of the "extras" are just filler for the DVD - extra crap to justify a dual layer pressing.
With downloaded movies (and I'm assuming you mean those from Netflix and Amazon), the extras would consume too much bandwidth to justify streaming.ICBM target coordinates:

Not amazon , i mean the movie which uploaders ( like Axxo ) upload on the net . where do these " features ,or rather, extras come from ? the company ( or director ) put these features on the dvd disc ?and if so , why there isnt any movie with these special features ( DVD Menu ) on the net for downloading ?

Let me get this straight. You're asking why internet movie pirates, who are illegally uploading movie content, aren't going the extra criminal mile to upload the menu and additional DVD content?
Is that what you're asking? -

Generally the retail DVDs are dual layer and the pirated ones are single layer sized. To keep the movie at decent quality for the smaller sized disc the extras, previews, trailers and other stuff is removed. The ones I've seen do have menus, but maybe you're getting yours from somewhere else.

There is no technical reason.
You can find complete images of DVDs, as ISO files.
And those will be 5 or 10 GB, as opposed to less than 1 GB for the Axxo-style rip of the main feature as an AVI file.
Really though most extras are not worth the trouble to watch, let alone download. -
Ditto, I feel that movies are over priced but that's another discussion. But if everyone were to download a pirated copy Hollywood would have no need to make DVDs in the first place.
I buy DVDs from other countries all the time, I hate waiting for a US release of a film. It can be years before a US version of a film is released if ever.Murphy's law taught me everything I know.
