This DVD-R edition has likely been lifted wholesale from the New Line DVD edition noted above.
The film is accompanied by an orchestral music score (likely also pirated).
Note that this company apparently has a history of pirating other home video editions to produce their products. Be aware that purchasing pirated home video editions does not benefit the original edition producers nor the composers whose music is often pirated as well.
