  Audio commentary (DVD) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The value of audio commentaries as a marketing tool was revealed during the heyday of laserdisc, the laser-based video format produced before the introduction of DVDs.
The audio commentaries on laserdiscs were typically encoded on secondary analogue tracks which had become redundant, as modern laserdiscs had stereo audio encoded digitally alongside.
The idea of downloadable commentary tracks has since been co-opted by TV show creators themselves, as creators of TV shows such as the 2003 remake of Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek: Voyager, and the Doctor Who revival have recorded downloadable commentary tracks meant to be watched along with the episodes as recorded from TV.

 Best DVD Audio Commentary
There are lots of different styles of commentary, some better than others, but I think ideally a commentary should start with the director sitting down in front of their movie, turning on a recording device and commenting on what they see, as they see it (scene-specific commentary).
Commentary #1 is moderated by John Cork of the Ian Fleming foundation and, as we've now come to expect from these Bond films, consists of the usual assortment of nonsequitor interview snippets from numerous people associated with the film (most notably, director Guy Hamilton and actor Yaphet Kotto).
And his commentary is actually a little edgy insofar as this was one of his first directing jobs and he had a lot of people who didn't believe in him and what he was doing (particularly producer Michael Eisner, who eventually asked that his name be removed from the project).

However, this was subject to the proviso that if there was anything contained in a commentary that would be likely to conflict with the overall classification of the disc itself then that commentary must be submitted for classification.
If you have any reason to suspect that the content of a commentary may be in conflict with the certificate awarded to the other contents of the DVD, then that commentary should be submitted to us.
If there are a number of different commentaries present, then all of these should be carefully screened and any commentary (or commentaries) containing contentious material should be supplied to the Board.
