New Line Home Video has created a Special Edition for this DVD release. The transfer is crisp, well detailed and the colors are quite vibrant. The Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtrack has a subdued mix, although there is one key musical sequence that explodes out through the five channels. The film's soundtrack does feature recordings of Helfgott's own piano performances, and they sound terrific on the Dolby Digital track. Other soundtrack options include a matrixed Dolby Surround soundtrack, as well as a French language track.
Subtitles are available in English, French and Spanish.
On the second side of the DVD, the interactive menus offer a question and answer session with director Scott Hicks, a theatrical trailer and Geoffrey Rush's acceptance speech from the Golden Globe Awards. The bargain price of this Special Edition makes the DVD highly collectable.
