Namek includes one set of opening and ending themes surrounding the content of the three episodes, of which run as a sort of "feature-length" presentation with episode recaps and previews removed between episodes. A preview for Episode 35 plays after the ending theme.
On DVD, the video stream is encoded as interlaced (480i), with black side borders of a varying number of pixels on the left and right, and sometimes on the top as well. No bonus material or trailers are included.
The main DVD menu features artwork from the box cover, accompanied by the Main Title "Rock the Dragon" track produced by Shuki Levy.
