Title Best
Sound of Music, The: Special Edition=
    The Region 4 version of this disc misses out on;
  • Menu animation
  • THX trailer and certification
  • English and French Dolby Surround audio tracks, Spanish subtitles
  • DVD-ROM content (on both discs)
  • Gallery, including storyboards, sketches and production stills
    The Region 1 version of this disc misses out on;
  • Additional foreign language subtitles
    I'm not sure why the Region 4 version misses out on THX certification - I can be really cynical and make a comment about the relevance of THX certification (since in my experience THX certification doesn't generally correlate with better transfers) but I think I'll quit while I'm ahead.

    The major extras missing on R4 are the stills gallery which contain some quite interesting information and pictures (although the quality of the stills are rather poor on the R1 version) and DVD-ROM content. The R4 version does have a better audio transfer so all in all I would say the two versions are roughly comparable.
