Video
The Warner UHD has a strong low-pass and a very poor encode due to cramming the film on a BD66. The Criterion UHD is significantly better due to the lack of low-pass and very good encode.

Audio
Criterion included a lossless version of the mag transfer that Warner used for their 1999 DVD and UHD. The lossy track on the Warner UHD sounds basically the same as the lossless track on the Criterion with maybe a few minor EQ changes. I was not able to find the 1999 DVD for comparison, but according to Moshrom the DVD and UHD tracks are the same with levels differences. The digital mono from the 1991 US LaserDisc sounds considerably worse and I was unfortunately not able to find an earlier LaserDisc with analog mono.

On the other hand, Criterion’s port of Warner’s new 5.1 track (from the UHD) added some scene-by-scene noise reduction and dialogue EQ which needlessly dulls the dialogue. The new 5.1 mix is quite bright and noisy (at least compared to the older 5.1 mix, which is very muffled) so I can see the impetus for Criterion’s filtering of the worst spots, but it just sounds worse IMO. Used the 5.1 mix from the Warner UHD.

For some reason, Criterion downmixed the commentary track that was first included on the 2007 BDs to mono. The bed audio for the track is taken from the older 5.1 remix so sections without commentary just sound worse on the Criterion. All of the commentary tracks across Warner’s releases sound the same, and have Dolby Surround metadata, so the UHD track was used.


Subtitles + Chapters
English (US / SDH and non-SDH / main film and commentary) subtitles OCR’d, spellchecked, and demuxed from source 1/synced from source 2+3. Both the Criterion and Warner SDH tracks were included as they have a number of differences (e.g. song identifications on the Warner); a stripped version of the Criterion SDH was also included, leaving in the diegetic singing subtitles, as an alternative to the non-SDH track on the 2007 EUR BD. All PGS subtitles (incl. from the Criterion UHD and Japanese PGS) tonemapped to match the Warner UHD subtitles (#9a9a9a, 60% white). Thanks squash and xzin for the text subtitles. Named chapters from source 1 adjusted to nearest I- or P-frames where necessary; end credits chapter added.
