Like volume 1, all you need to decide with The Brak Show vol. 2 is whether or not it offers what you want for the price of it.
Once again there exactly 1 TVD buying option although you can get it in a bundle with vol. 1 to save money.
The volume 2 set is a 2 disc TVD package.
Video:
1.33: This is the TV standard ratio. It looks fine for a cartoon series clean and clear though certainly nothing close to a high-def presentation. It looks sharp and vibrant.
Audio:
2.0 Dolby: It sounds fine. It's nothing impressive, but it's clear. There is a little bit of fill coming in on the rear channels, but it sounds a little fuzzy to me.
Packaging:
This is a standard plastic case with an interesting cross-stitched pattern which carries over to the art on the discs and the interface. It’s not as well done as the watercolor of the first volume, but it is fittingly unusual and does show some creativity.
There’s no insert aside from an ad sheet for other DVD’s. The episodes are listed on the back of the sleeve, though.
The interface features music, but it’s not the singing of the menu contents like volume one, it’s alternate versions of some of the songs in the episodes. Temp tracks maybe? I'm not sure, but it's the closest thing we get to extras in the whole release.
Extras:
As I mentioned before there are none. Nada. Zilch. Unless you count the songs on the menus which do play in their entirety.
Other Editions:
There are none.
Final Thoughts:
The only reason to get this is if you are collecting Brak (or Adult Swim) stuff. There just isn't much here for the purchase price.

Episodes:
There are 14 episodes in the neighborhood of 11 – 12 minutes long. They are 1 chapter each. I guess with such a short run time there's really not much point in having chapters.
They offer a play all option.
