Kanai Katsu DVD

[Stefan Nutz]

Thats true. I don't know how many dvds he is going to burn, but in the end 
it's more work to make two
different VIDEO_TS or ISO files. So from a logical, technical and economical 
point of view, there is no sense in producing two versions, but i can 
understand about releasing a "special edition" - he should definetly do 
that.

best,
