For me this cannot be the "Ultimate" edition as it is missing the incredible commentary by Howard Suber that can only be found on the Criterion laserdisc.

Incidentally, The 15 Hour 1972 BBC version of “War & Peace” with a young Anthony Hopkins as Pierre is finally available on R1 disc! Even though this was made for TV [1.33:1, not as spectacular battle scenes, etc.] The acting is superb. Many think this is the superior version around today. I...

Another Great One missing from DVD: Richard III 1955 Laurence Olivier Version [Criterion Collection; restored, wide screen] Ian McKellen's 1995 version is fun, but Olivier has Richard nailed!

Memorex DVD-Rs are notorious for this sort of behavior. Try TDK, Maxell, Samsung BeALL; do a search on DVD-R.
