This DVD-R edition has been mastered from a VHS videotape copy of a full-frame video transfer of a good 16mm reduction print. As a result, picture details are smeary and the coarse resolution lines are visible on high-definition systems.
The film is accompanied by a compilation of orchestral music from preexisting sources.
While the visual quality is less than ideal, this is the only known DVD home video edition of this rare Griffith feature film.
