The DVD version combines all of the resources on one disk, with cross-product searching and the ability to jump from the encyclopedia, say, to a related entry in the atlas. Because of the expanded space on the DVD, you'll find more multimedia features such as 360 degree views and higher resolution videos than the five CD version. Both versions are packed with excellent features like closed-captioning for those with hearing impairments and text-to-speech, letting the text of articles be read aloud.
New features include a dynamic timeline so you can make side-by-side comparisons of historical events that occurred over the same time period. Parents and teachers alike will appreciate the curriculum guide that lets you search by grade and subject to see a listing of resources. There's also a new function that lets you do a text search from within an article and a "multimedia map" option that shows all of the audio and video resources by location. This is great for listening to different national anthems.
When it comes to reference titles for home use, this one is clearly the king of the hill.
