Universal's DVD Division is getting worse everyday.

well, then you are just missing out on a very good movie and really only hurting yourself! why would you do that to yourself? you like yourself right? watch the theatrical cut and enjoy yourself again.

I watched the Theatrical cut and quite enjoyed it. My TV is a regulat 4:3 but it does the "squeeze trick" so the extended edition is unwatchable. Seamless Branching seems to be a discontinued feature anymore.

I saw the musical notes only a couple times so I wasn't sure if I saw all scenes or not. Q:Are all the deleted scenes what makes up the "extended edition" If so, then they didn't all register on my player. I was thinking I had a defective disc and had to take back. Still might be but given the jerking, editing and transition probaby will never watch the extended version again anyway

Yes, the extended edition is made up of the deleted scenes. I couldn't get past the first one before I switched back to the theatrical version and ended up watching the deleted scenes by themselves. The movie is great . . . the handling of the DVD was just pathetic.
