The region one release has some additional interviews not present on the region two discs. Were the two created at the same time or not?
They were created at the same time. There are often issues with region one vs region two,three or four, in terms of the number of languages they have to translate into and the number of territories they have to make something available for.
That sometimes limits the amount of material they can put on. There’s a certain amount of room and they have to have everything in four languages, so that obviously bites into the bit space available.
But we try to keep the region one and the rest of the world as close as possible, because we want to market these things globally to the Buffy fan base. We don’t want people in London or Australia or whatever thinking they’ve been disadvantaged versus the US market - that’s just not the case.
Is there anything that might appear on the season two disk that might not already be out there on region two DVDs?
I think it’s going to be 95% the same. There may be a couple of little extra things on there but they’ll be very small.
I don’t have the exact specifics of what they might be right now. The season two disks we’re developing right now are very very similar to the region 2 disks that are already out there.
