Each DVD contains far more than a copy of the Big Buck Bunny feature movie. You get lots of extras including:
- artwork used in the production of the movie,
- behind-the-scenes feature,
- "outtakes" based on the movie,
- a copy of Blender, a FOSS program which was used to make the movie,
- alternate commentary sound tracks (including one track where music and effects are performed by the filmmakers)
You can also find copies of the movie ready to play on your computer in a variety of formats and resolutions.
Problems burning the DVDs?
Go buy a copy of the DVDs from the filmmakers. This gets you a high-quality copy of the DVDs complete with all the extras and data files you need to remake the movie.Try watching a DVD ISO file in VideoLAN Client. No need to burn anything.The DVD images uploaded here have been verified to be correct. The MD5sums of the image files match the ripped image MD5sums from the production discs. If you plan to burn the ISO, a few tips:
- Check the MD5SUM or SHA1SUM before you burn—don't waste time and discs burning an ISO you know is corrupt or incomplete. Find an MD5SUM or SHA1SUM program and verify that you have what this site distributes. The hashes you need to check against have always been listed in the file list, they're also listed above.
- Find a better downloading program—most web browsers aren't good at downloading large files because they provide no means to continue an incomplete download. "Down Them All!" (a Firefox addon), wget, and curl are three free software download programs that can resume a download. archive.org's servers allow continued downloads.
- Burn at a slow speed—better to burn at 4X without buffer underruns than to rely on buffer underrun resumption technology.
- Be sure that you're burning the content of the image, not the image file—learn how to use your burning software to burn an ISO image file.

Subject: Being an open movie, it's GREAT resource for 3D artists
"One of the ISOs is in PAL format, the other in NTSC format. Otherwise they have the same files and movies."
The DVD contents as declared above is wrong. While it's true that the DVD video content is the same, the DVD data are unique per disc.
The PAL disc has all the production files (models, textures, rigs, sets, animations.. downloadable here: http://graphicall.org/bbb/index.php ), the script (original and breakdown), tutorials, simplified .blend files and the movie itself in HD in several formats.
The NTSC disc has a lot of making-of content: artwork, photos, videos, animatic of the original script, live-edit of animatic+blocked+blender view+final render, test renders, etc.
All those extras are a *GREAT* resource for any 3D artist.
BTW, I'm in the credits because I pre-ordered the DVD before they started the production.

Subject: best short of the year!
i thought this was a grate short film. this was made with totally free software. compared to the $2k + programs used by dreamworks, i'd like to see anyone do better with less.
"Poor voice acting, the actors seem to make no sound at all."
lol, that's because they don't. there isn't any dialog like most shorts.

Subject: Wise I could burn dvd
I and my roommate have tried 3 different dvd burners and they have all failed. How about braking the iso in half to do 2 single dvds instead of one big iso for a duel layered dvd

Subject: Open Content
These disc are open content.
All files needed to remake the movie are on the dvd's.
If you just want to watch the movie then visit the official bigbuckbunny.org site, dont bother downloading the dvd. Or type bigbuckbunny in youtube.
If you want to see one file to make a scene from bbb then again just visit the download section of bbb.org, all files are available as a download.
Dvds are also for sale in the blender.org e-shop.
By buying the dvds you dont buy the right to watch the movie (thats free) but buy into the development of the software to create movies like these by anybody who wants too. Not only anybody who can affort to.
My review to the movie:
Great animation.
Good visual quality.
Intermediate editing.
Poor story.
Nice music, maybe to bombastic/ not slapstick enough.
Poor voice acting, the actors seem to make no sound at all.
My review to the project:
Great project. Maybe a little too much time put in to justify the result. Love to see more comming out of the Blender Institute.

Thanks for the update - great, I'd love to see all the "making of" material, too.
Perhaps you should offer a basic version, with just the film and a few out-takes/background bits.
As it is, the huge DVD images currently on offer are:
- Well over 10 times the size that are necessary to provide the film itself and a few extras.
- So large as to be inaccessible to people who have draconian bandwidth caps and/or lower speed connections and/or without the wherewithal to make their own DVD from the other file formats available. The beauty of providing an ISO image of a DVD video is that it makes it _simple_ for people who are film lovers, but not tech whizzes.
- As noted in my first review (below) the huge size of these images, requires that users acquire and burn larger DVD dual-layer discs. While standard 4.7 GB (DVD5) discs are widely available and quite inexpensively so, DL (dual layer) discs are often not available at all in many areas, except in some specialist stores and at a huge price premium. At the prices they sell at, it's also a huge kick in the pants when one gets the inevitable bad burn, and has to start over.
- The DVD burners provided with many computers, even those only 2 or 3 years old, are often incapable of burning DL DVDs.

As a reality check...
The full HD 1920x1080 pixel MP4 file, available (along with other resolutions) at
http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/index.php/download/
... is only 884 MB in size (albeit with far more efficient compression than the old MPEG2 for DVD format).
Just saw the film in standard definition from that page... rates 4 stars **** in my book, though obviously I can't rate the DVD version yet.
review 1:
There's no way that a standard definition, 10 minute movie should be so large as these disk images (7.73 GB for NTSC, 7.51 GB PAL): big enough to require a dual-layer DVD .
I just compressed a 10 minute 28 second long film for DVD, using very-high-quality 7.2 Mbits/sec video and 192 kbps audio. The total file size of the muxed MPEG2 file is only 557 MB in size.
