The video is definitely better. Most of the "pixellation" effect on the wide shots is gone, and it has more of a "3D" look to it overall. Mild "ringing", unfortunately, remains. Personally, I was very pleased with the transfer. It's the best I've ever seen "My Fair Lady" look in my life. Just don't expect the movie to look as good as "Moulin Rouge!"
The main new extra is a one hour documentary which not only celebrates the film, but outlines the very difficult restoration process that had to be mounted back in 1994 in order to preserve the movie for future generations to enjoy. You'll be *shocked* to see from this "docu" that this magnificent piece of art came ever so close to being lost forever!
If you're a fan of the movie, I'd say go ahead and snatch it up. This two-disc set can be had for $19.95 or less almost everywhere this week.

Just wish they were more clear about what extras are different from the previous release. I believe the audio commentary was on the previous DVD and I don't think they mentioned that. (I've only skimmed it so far though.)
Thanks jayson, I'll check that out later today.
