Greatest Video Hits II
(Previously released on VHS as 'Greatest Flix II')

Released 3 November 2003.

Produced by Simon Lupton and Rhys Thomas
Executive Producers Brian May and Roger Taylor
Videos remastered by David Mallet
Surround sound mixes produced by Justin Shirley Smith, engineered by Justin Shirley Smith and Kris Fredriksson

Whilst this is essentially a DVD reissue of 'Greatest Flix II', it loses the four tracks from 'Innuendo', but adds a number of bonus videos and additional material. Both discs also feature a single 'bonus' track which is not mentioned anywhere on the packaging. All videos feature an introductory screen, which shows the single sleeve against a black background. Both discs feature an edit of 'God Save The Queen' as the menu loads, whilst the menus themselves use 'magic noises' from 'A Kind Of Magic'.

The menus feature animations based on 'The Miracle' heads. The disc allows you to play all titles, jump to a specific song, or change the audio setup or subtitles. 'Song Selection' is arranged over two screens, which play 'magic noises' from 'A Kind Of Magic', with short excerpts and sound effects from each song over the top. The tracks are arranged over the first 5 titles in a strange order:

Only the three songs in the first title are arranged into chapters - the others cannot be played directly, except through the menus. Title 6 contains a 'bonus' video, an alternate version of 'Who Wants To Live Forever', which features clips from the film 'Highlander'. The videos for 'Friends Will Be Friends' and 'A Kind Of Magic' are slightly different (only at the end), whilst 'Las Palabras De Amor' is the full length version (the originally released video was an edit).

Despite what the sleeve notes say, the extended video of 'One Vision' has been released before, on the 'Queen Rocks' video. The four sub-menus include the original instrumental versions of 'Under Pressure', 'I Want To Break Free', 'Friends Will Be Friends' and 'The Miracle' (all originally found exclusively on the Japanese 'Greatest Karaoke Hits' set). The sleeve notes mention a Freddie Mercury interview from 1982 and a David Bowie interview, but these are not present on either disc.

'The Making Of One Vision' (title 7) and 'The Making Of The Miracle Videos' (title 9) were both directed by Rudi Dolezal and Hannes Rossacher.
