Hairspray as described above sounds like it's exactly as presented in the two disc set, which makes me happy and sad:

Happy because I don't have to buy it again,
Sad because it dosn't contain the video footage of John Waters doing all the dances featured in the movie, a video that Ricki Lake talks about at length in the commentary!
