Demuxed with the latest DGDemux with merge DV function.

All new mastering of the Dolby stereo track is the same for all blu-rays and UHD blu-ray. From the DVDs, the only track considered was Criterion's, but it has a lot of clicks and artifacts -including being lossy-, losing the low/high end vs the newer tracks on the Second Sight and Criterion Blu-rays. Despite the hum attenuation notch at around 15khz, it's not destructive, as one can hear in the samples.

Since Second Sight's track is the same Criterion's, kept Second Sight's track. The NOR Blu-ray has this track but with the wrong pitch and hard limiting. The NOR Blu-ray also has a 5.0 remix (with LFE empty and split surrounds) with the right pitch so it was passed to 23.976 without said empty LFE and synced to the remux.

Audio Comparison: Slow.pics

Offered both UK and US spellings from Second Sight and Criterion as they are the best English subs. All the remaining PGS were synced and tonemapped to same % as the UHD. SRTs also synced. Worth mentioning the Italian sub from the Italian DVD is for the respective dub and not included, as it displays lines not spoken in the original language but on the Italian dub.

Named chapters (added opening and end credits) from Criterion Blu-ray synced to P/I-frames of remux.
