Digital compression artifacts are well managed on both sides of the disc and never become bothersome. The Dolby Digital 2.0 soundtrack decodes to standard surround, but since this is a television mix, it isn t too involving. Dialogue is clean and intelligible and the music is well recorded. The interactive menus have a bit of animation and sound, as well as providing access to the standard set up features. Options allow one to chose which part of the miniseries they wish to view, plus chapter selection within each part.
Supplements are also accessible through the menu system.
There is an audio commentary with Stephen King, Mick Garris, Rob Lowe, Ruby Dee, Miguel Ferrer, Jamey Sheridan and editor Patrick McMahon. Since this is a 6-hour production, the commentary isn t always continuous. However, the track is filled with interesting details about the production, especially early on.
