This was supposed to have come out in May. Has anyone been able to find it? I have found no reviews or comments on the presentation quality.
I have the US DVD Anniversary edition which states the running time as 7 hours 49 minutes (449 minutes) approximately. This edition is currently on Amazon.com stating the running time as 475 minutes. So contradicts what is said on the DVD box. Amazon.com has a VHS video listed with stated running time of 450 minutes.I'm not sure what region mine is from. I picked it up from Greece of all places a long time ago. I just timed out the 3 discs and disc one is 2:03, disc two is 2:00 and disc three is 2:48. I looked it up and apparently this ran on 4 nights with a combined airing time of 10:30. IMDB lists the full run time at 475 minutes, which seems about right, taking into account commercials, opening and closing credits each night and episode recaps. So if this set is coming in at 411 minutes, that means there's a good hour plus missing. How long is the U.S. DVD run time? What about the VHS, if anyone has that?

7 hrs. 49 min. is 469 min. (7 hrs. is 420, and 49 more makes it 469).
My Spanish 4-DVD set is about the same. When I bought it it was advertised both on the package and online as 475 minutes but checking each disc it actually came out to 411:54 (approx. 429 minutes running time when converted from PAL to NTSC). I never bothered searching out a more complete set. Checking on OFDB it seems all the European sets are more or less the same running time.I'm not sure what region mine is from.

Take into consideration that Amazon mix reviews from all releases of Holocaust, both domestic and imports, (much like what they do with any and all homevideo releases regardless of format) and reviews may be from a different release altogether.Ok, now I'm really confused. Reviewers on amazon were writing that the DVDs were missing scenes, yet if the running time is a legitimate 469 minutes, that would appear to be fairly complete, once you take into account the opening and closing credits each night plus episode recaps, which I'm sure they didn't include on each segment.

Was there ever a laser disc version put out?
