That's a stupid and unhelpful reply.
The best I've seen and heard is the German DVD
Or you could just wait and wait and wait for NBC-Universal to release the disc in the USA.
You'll find plenty comment on the versions available if you search this forum.

I haven't seen the German disc, but I've always been quite happy with my French disc that I picked up a few years ago (I don't even know if it's still in print - it's on the TF1 label).
From a non-techie point of view, I always consider the pic & sound on this release to be good - the sound is only 2.0, but is still quite impressive.
It contains French & English versions of the film, a trailer, fimographies and a Lynch interview...
Dazza.

There are a few cheaper discs on Amazon.de Marketplace
This really is a 'budget' German disc now and I've seen it as low as €10 new.
The only other decent version seems to be the Portuguese disc.
With a great film like this I'm only interested in that thunderous soundtrack and quality image. The other versions of the DVD I've seen/heard are a joke in comparison to the German disc.

BTW, if you go via EBay.com you can look at those German Ebay auctions and they're translated. I think you have to search for 'items available worldwide' or something like that.

No problems here with audio synch. I have heard of problems with the first release (possible 4+ years ago) but I have that disc and it's fine.
There is a new release in a new style case.

I watched the german disk from nicheflix and thought it had a decent transfer, didn't notice any audio synch problems.
You can always try renting from nicheflix first and see for yourself.
