The process is done by the person who authors the dvd.
Any guy who´s into authoring like myself can confirm this.

I already authored some branching movies for some big companies and as they pay by title is just the same amount.

ah right.
Well then cant really think of any reasons for it to be left out apart from Arrow dont think its good enough to put it. Have to wait for a official response on this matter. I dont really mind not having it but would be nice to have a "complete" edition with both cuts.

The only problem on presenting both versions should be the rights.

From the BBFC we can see that Arrow submitted the longer print.
If they could snag the rights to the other print then they could include it.

But all the footage from the shorter cut is within the longer cut. There's no different footage. I wouldn't think there would need to be a separate submission. Unless they wanted to show English credits for the shorter exported version. Then they would have to forego the seamless branching and use two discs for each set (dvd & Blu).

Depending on how many extras they have, they could probably fit most on the export disc. I'm sure they don't want to add a third disc to the package.

Thanks for the info - so I'm deffo gonna watch the movie again when the Arrow release comes out. I've seen it about 5 years ago and can't remember much ... so another watch is really justified.

Another thing: Any idea, when the preorder for the Blu-ray will be back up?

HMV are my favourite - they ship out fastest of all as a rule. Not unusual to get discs from them by Thursday or Friday of the week before the official Monday release date.

Yup, but if you live in Austria, Amazon isn't just quicker but also cheaper

Sounds like there are a lot useful nuggets of information people on here hold as to best services to use depending on the countries you live in etc.
