Lionsgate Amazon.com DVD-R release same as Anchor Bay's?


Amazon.com has a made to manufacture DVD-R entry for the Daleks Invasion Earth movie that says it's released by Lionsgate. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Doctor-Who-Daleks-Invasion-Earth/dp/B00005OCK3


Does anyone have this? I want to know if it's the same edited print that Anchor Bay released on DVD in the early 2000's. Amazon.com says there are 2 DVD's in this item, but, is it just a DVD-R release containing both Peter Cushing movies like Anchor Bay released?

This is a bit late, but I have it and it is essentially a copy of the Anchor Bay releases, complete with Anchor Bay logos when you start the films. It is missing the Dalekmania supplemental documentary from the Anchor Bay boxed set, but does have the same extras as the original movie discs, including the commentary track for Dr. Who and the Daleks (with Jennie Linden and Roberta Tovey). The odd thing is that, at least in my copy) the films are reversed. Disc 1 is the sequel, Daleks' Invasion and Disc 2 is Dr. Who and the Daleks. I don't know if that was just a mistake on my copy or if it has been the standard. The packaging does seem to favor Dalek's Invasion. It is a two disc set, in a single case (each disc secured to one of the sides of the case). The cover has minimal artwork and copy, but it's a decent product.

It's not unique to you. I purchased it and returned it, reporting the problem. They said they'd fix it and send me another one, but it was reversed as well so I returned it. I waited about 8 or 9 months and tried again, but it was still the same problem. I gave up and kept it.

So, the print of Daleks Invasion Earth 2150 AD is the exact same print that appears on the Anchor Bay DVD? Complete with the reshuffling of the prologue to follow the title credits?
