AS OF 2013 the International Version has been released in DVD format. Click here to reach the Amazon.co.uk page. The DVDs are in Region 2, PAL format only, with Dutch subtitles.

The Dutch version, although excellent playing quality, has a few errors in labeling:

• three sets, called "Series" have been released, comprising about 1.75 of the original episodes that were Season 1 & 2.
• "Series 3" is erroneously labeled "Complete Series"
• the synopses for two episodes are mixed up in one of the sets
• one of the package covers features Cramer, probably erroneously thought to be Wolfe.

The Dutch version also has these features:

• not all are in wide screen
• not included: The Next Witness, Poison A La Carte, Before I Die, & Immune to Murder
• The Golden Spiders, The Doorbell Rang & Champagne for One were never produced with longer versions, therefore have no resulting Missing Minutes in US broadcast and DVD release

Pfui's Photostream on Flickr has a variety of missing edges (wide screen version of scenes) and missing minutes, as well as screen captures from the Dutch subtitled version. Click here to see the Flickr site.

1. The original production approach was to use footage to connect two Novella stories. The footage consisted of scenes at the beginning, between stories, and at the end. This expanded the length to meet overseas criteria. U.S. DVDs do not include the connecting introduction and intermezzo footage that was added. However, only two such sets were ever part of the overseas distribution, Wolfe Steps Out and Wolfe Stays In, because the foreign distributor changed its mind for Season Two.
   
   
2. For Season Two the novella-combination approach was dropped. Instead, four Novellas had enough footage added to meet the required length for overseas. The additional footage for two of them consists primarily of interview-like sequences. The interviews are with various characters in the plot and are almost ad lib in nature. These four are:

   Immune to Murder (interview with each character)
   The Next Witness (expanded scene in Saul's apartment)
   Before I Die (expanded scene with Beulah Page in Plant Rooms)
   Poison a la Carte (interviews of "waitresses" with Lewis Hewitt as the judge)

3. Four Novella stories that may have been produced in a version that met overseas requirements but were never telecast overseas are:

   Murder Is Corny
   Die Like a Dog
   Help Wanted, Male
   The Cop  Killer
