Comparing Different Versions of "Human Stain"

I was reading a comparision of the different versions of "The Human Stain" (http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=5656)Although I was wondering if anyone had any of the versions besides the American Region 1 crap release. I am mainly looking for comments on the extras, if there are more and any of note. I noticed the Holland release seems to have the most extra material (Extras:Behind the scenes, Interviews, B-roll, trailer, Bonus trailers) What is a B-Roll?


Thanks

Why is the R1 release "crap"? Because of the missing DTS? I notice that that review page doesn't list the video bit-rates, which I would definately want to check out before labeling a release crappy. If the R1 release has better video, I sure wouldn't mind giving up the space that DTS takes up (especially on a release like this).

The R1 release is a pretty mediocre transfer with lots of edge enhancement. Typical Miramax DVD. They probably licensed the same transfer internationally, so I wouldn't count on another country's DVD being any better.

The movie's really not good enough to spend a lot of money looking for the definitive release anyway, IMO. Rent the R1 disc and call it a day.

Better yet, just get this version: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...129053-4265443
