This movie is long out of print, and was only available on VHS and Laserdisc. This is a transfer from the Laserdisc. Great care was taken to ensure high quality video and audio. The video is encoded at 7500kbps and the audio is 48k PCM stereo, which is why the film is split over 2 discs.

The audio is Stereo Surround, which will output to a 5-speaker setup if your DVD player is capable of decoding it. The rear channels contain much of the music, and the center channel contains the dialogue.

Until the official DVD is released, this will be the best version you will have!
