This budget DVD-R edition has likely been mastered from a 16mm or 8mm reduction print.
The film is likely accompanied by a soundtrack of music compiled from preexisting recordings.
We are a little concerned about such a long film being squeezed onto a single-layered DVD-R disc. Video compression could be higher than usual on this disc.
