Comparison: Criterion UHD, Criterion BD, JPN BD, FRA BD, GBR BD

Included audio from the 1991 LD boxset as the primary option, sourced from the same elements as later releases, but without extra manipulation. For the filtered option I used Criterion UHD, as it sounds less overbearing and shrill than the JPN disc, better for those who want to avoid the inherent hiss. It has about the same amount of detail, plus it's lossless (Kadokawa/JPN seems to have lossy encoding artifacts at least in some parts).

French subtitles OCR from GizmoBal, and Brazilian Portuguese subtitles from Distanasia, thanks!

Subtitles from GBR and FRA discs resynced accounting for the frame differences, VapourSynth code for the frame offsets below (matched to UHD).
