''Casablanca'' was initially released on [[Betamax]] and [[VHS]] by [[Magnetic Video]] and later by [[CBS/Fox Video]] (as [[United Artists]] owned the distribution rights at the time). In 1989, the Criterion Collection released a Laserdisc release sourced from a nitrate print that includes supplements such as an audio commentary by Ronald Haver, a treatment for an unreleased sequel and wartime footage of the city of Casablanca.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Pratt |first=Douglas |title=The Laser Video Disc Companion Expanded Edition}}</ref> Criterion would issue a CLV version of this in 1991 with only the film and commentary. It was next released on [[laserdisc]] in 1991, and on VHS in 1992—both from [[MGM Home Entertainment|MGM/UA Home Entertainment]] (distributing for [[Turner Entertainment Co.]]), which at the time was distributed by [[Warner Home Video]]. It was first released on [[DVD]] in 1998 by MGM, containing the trailer and a making-of featurette (Warner Home Video reissued the DVD in 2000). A subsequent two-disc special edition, containing an audio commentary by Roger Ebert, documentaries, ''Carrotblanca'' and a newly remastered visual and audio presentation, was released in 2003.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Casablanca: Two-Disc Special Edition |url=https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00009W0WM |website=Amazon}}</ref>
