Do you mean a commercial DVD? The only widescreen DVD is out of print and is from Region 2 (not to mention it's a pretty lousy DVD). The "better" Australian cut is only in pan & scan. There's literally no DVD you can just buy normally in order to just get a tiny bit of quality presentation of ANY version of the film. Download it and save your money for stuff that actually had thought put into it like from Warner Bros. or Criterion.
Especially the fourth Looney Tunes box that came out last Tuesday! Wished I had some extra cash lying around to get it.

MORE Google Video!

More fun for my PSP!

The first commercial reel is the one with the Roger Rabbit Diet Coke ad, Harlem Globetrotters, and the most "formal" reel with custom interstitials using footage from A Christmas Carol and Charge of the Light Brigade. It's also the best quality of the three (especially since ocp did a fantastic job on 24fps conversion). It also has the really famous Cresta, Owens-Corning

Being reminded Owens-Corning had to put up a billboard near their HQ downtown about them bouncing back from bankruptcy a few years back, and to this day they still use Pink to pimp their insulation!

and TDK ads (with the Pink Panther), Shell, Sex Appeal, Fanta, America's Life Insurance Companies, Tic Tacs, etc. The third is that really bad quality tape that starts off with Embassy American cigarettes... but it has some of the good ones like Cresta, Tic Tacs, Cadbury, and Vita Maltz. I need to find the second one... I forgot which disc it's on.

The last batch were probably from my collection!

Of course, the last one is the excellent Thames TV documentary that's a must-see.

This also came from me too (and from a videotape that cost me plenty on eBay).

Letterboxed "Princess" and full Mark II Recobbled cuts are being encoded right now and should be up by tomorrow.

Cool.
