00:01DVD is such a fantastic format because it's just so convenient and compact.

00:06I think DVD is clearly the best format right now.

00:11As a viewer and a director, I just love the format.

00:14I think it's the best format out there.

00:21The two things about DVD that are so great is, number one,

00:24you get the best picture and the best sound possible.

00:27And number two, you can actually put information and materials

00:32that in some ways really educate the audience

00:36as to what was involved in making the film.

00:38You look somewhat like a mouse.

00:40Yeah, well, I am somewhat like a mouse.

00:44I think the DVD is another production, an enhancement to the feature film

00:50because there's so much opportunity to create work beyond just the theatrical movie.

00:55I mean, as a director, having the chance to actually do an audio commentary is wonderful

00:59because, you know, you can record for posterity.

01:01Some of the secrets, obviously, that you have while making the movie

01:04that otherwise people would never know

01:05and were critical to the success of the films.

01:07I'm, like, seeing now that, like, the DVD comes earlier and earlier.

01:18I like that because I'm really somebody who goes at least once a week, you know,

01:24in the store and buys DVDs.

01:26I started, like, really, like, buying the same movies I have on video.

01:30I buy them now on DVD.

01:32We're looking at a completely new species.

01:34The first of its kind.

01:35DVDs give you the possibility as a filmmaker to show, like,

01:38how the movie was done, how the effects were done.

01:43There's so much thinking, so much, like, work goes into kind of creating the look of a movie.

01:48For example, I did just now a movie which was a period,

01:51a movie where it would be probably very interesting to give the people a lot of insight

01:55in how difficult it was to create at a certain time.

01:5828 and 12, the levy passed!

02:01Which is really fascinating what, like, kind of work went into recreating that.

02:10We'll take it from here.

02:11I love DVDs because the quality of the image is fantastic.

02:18I watch six or seven DVDs a week,

02:21even DVDs that I already own on videocassette.

02:24I make this look good.

02:26Your typical DVD player and your television set

02:30and the speakers you have in your home

02:32sound better than probably 90% of all the theaters you'll ever be in.

02:39We go back again and do an additional special mix specifically for DVD

02:45because we know that the format can take much more dynamic range.

02:50That's what I'm talking about.

02:52You can have much more information in the subwoofer channels,

02:56which is that big base that you always love in, you know, action movies.

03:02I just think it's an incredibly valuable tool,

03:05both to learn more about the movie and just to see it better than you'll ever see it anywhere else,

03:11except in the best theaters in the world.

03:13You know, the whole idea that you can actually see a movie at home

03:16with something that's really, really close to theatrical quality,

03:19I think is incredible,

03:20and I think DVD, obviously, is a big part of that.

03:24It's a lot about the visuals, it's a lot about the sound,

03:27it's a lot about the quality of image,

03:29and I think DVD is clearly the best format right now.
