Has anyone heard anything about Ken Burns' The Civil War being released on DVD? They were quick to bring out Baseball and Jazz on DVD, but there's been no word on what I think is still Burns' best work.

Try the PBS website maybe.

After looking at the Jazz DVDs and seeing how they used the capablities of the DVD format to add additional information like the option of displaying the name of the song at the bottom of the screen and then branching over to a music card that shows who is performing and what the CD is and even the company who released it, I'm betting Ken Burns is working to inhance the Civil War DVDs the same way, maybe cross referencing to maps or additional photos which were never used. It won't be just the VHS version ported over to DVD. can't wait

Thanks for the tip, Bergie, but I already looked there. There isn't even any info about a future release.

Dogstar: Now *that* would be cool, and worth the wait.
