Thanks for posting. Great Read

Makes you wonder why it has to be on a 2 sided disc. Other longer movies can be put on a 1 sided disc. No extras either

Green Berets is a great action movie despite what critics think (do they think???)

This point was proved at box office and with viewwing figures everytime it is shown!!

Hi Dakota Surfer

Thanks for the information. The Green Berets is being released again in UK with John Wayne Collector magazine so that why I was wondering whether this release would be single sided.

Best

Thanks Roughrider

I wonder why they did it that way? I have seen longer movies on 1 disc without the need for flipping over.

Mike

In the more recent DVD versions of Green Berets do you still have to turn disc over or has it moved to being one sided?

Hi Senta

All releases be it video or DVD depend on the master material being used.

I think the film companies like us all to but at least 4 copies of each DVD.

First the DVD release with any print or sound faults,

Then the restored version with the sound and print faults fixed,

Then the collectors edition with all the extras.

and Then Finally The Directors Cut sold in a big metal tin like a reel of film with restored scenes and even more extras that also falls off the shelf every 5 minutes.

Have to admit I always liked this movie and thought it worked well.

On the DVD front it is the only one that I have that is printed on both sides that you have to switch it to see the other half of the movie. Why they did it this way is anyone's guess as it is not that long a movie.

If it is released in this UK John Wayne magazine I will buy it to have a one sided disc.
