This DVD aimed to collect all official ABBA videos, as conceived and produced by the group and their Swedish record company, Polar Music. Most of these now legendary film clips were directed by Lasse Hallström, later to become a famous Hollywood director. For The Definitive Collection, virtually all of the videos were remastered from the original 16mm films, and all were synchronized with the latest remastered versions of the songs.

Among the bonus selections on the DVD were ABBA's famous performance of Dancing Queen at the Royal Swedish Opera in Stockholm, Sweden. The performance was made before the King and Queen of Sweden, on the eve of their wedding.
