''Eyes Wide Shut'' was first released on [[VHS]] and [[DVD]] on March 7, 2000.<ref name="press">{{cite press release|url=http://kubrickfilms.warnerbros.com/news/press/ews_pressrelease.html|title='Kubrick's Definitive Film & Haunting Final Masterpiece' and 1999's Most Talked About Film Debuts on VHS and DVD|publisher=Warner Bros. Home Entertainment|date=February 24, 2000|access-date=November 9, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130617155937/http://kubrickfilms.warnerbros.com/news/press/ews_pressrelease.html|archive-date=June 17, 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref> The original DVD release corrects technical gaffes, including a reflected crew member, and altering a piece of Alice Harford's dialogue. Most home videos remove the verse that was claimed to be cited from the sacred Hindu scripture Bhagavad Gita (although it was Pook's reworking of "Backwards Priests" as stated above). In the UK, [[Warner Home Video]]'s 'rated 18' [no video altering] 1999 DVD release was in 4:3 full frame aspect ratio, with a note at the beginning that this was as Kubrick intended it to be shown [ratio as shot]. However, the film's length on this UK DVD is only 153 minutes, as opposed to the 159 minutes of other available DVD and [[Blu-ray]] versions. This is due to the transfer being done at 25 [[Frame rate|frames per second]] rather than 24 as shot; no actual footage was cut.

On October 23, 2007, Warner released ''Eyes Wide Shut'' in a special edition DVD, plus the HD DVD and Blu-ray disc formats.<ref>{{cite web |last=McCutcheon |first=David |url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2007/08/03/kubrick-overload |title=Kubrick Overload! |website=IGN |date=August 3, 2007 |access-date=August 22, 2014 |archive-date=May 26, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150526011649/http://www.ign.com/articles/2007/08/03/kubrick-overload |url-status=live}}</ref> This is the first home video release that presents the film in anamorphic 1.78:1 (16:9) format (the film was shown theatrically as soft matted 1.66:1 in Europe and 1.85:1 in the US and Japan). The previous DVD release used a 1.33:1 (4:3) aspect ratio. It is also the first American home video release to feature the uncut version. Although the earliest American DVD of the uncut version states on the cover that it includes both the R-rated and unrated editions, in actuality only the unrated edition is on the DVD.
