I also included the extras in a separate file (and even the the menus, cause they have very interesting information - to be watched frame by frame). The one thing from the Criterion release you won't find is the audio essay by Casper Tybjerg.

Synopsis, from Criterion website: http://www.criterion.com/films/228

With its stunning camerawork and striking compositions, Carl Th. Dreyer’s The Passion of Joan of Arc convinced the world that movies could be art. Renée Falconetti gives one of the greatest performances ever recorded on film, as the young maiden who died for God and France. Long thought to have been lost to fire, the original version was miraculously found in perfect condition in 1981—in a Norwegian mental institution. Criterion is proud to present this milestone of silent cinema in a new special edition featuring composer Richard Einhorn’s Voices of Light, an original opera/oratorio inspired by the film.
