I second this notion

I know little about this films production or technical aspects.
Does anybody know this film well?

The US R1 release will be needed for the Dolby 5.1 (And 2.0 Track possibly) in it's correct Speed.
The German R2 would be worth it for the extras.

I did research at the time, the non-anamorphic US DVD (I remember having an anamorphic PAL one also) is from the same master as the US LD. So the video, color and 5.1 are basically the same unless you want the PCM but since it was a natively 5.1 production I wouldn't bother.

The production was also Dolby only so no Cinema DTS that I know of.

The high bitrate HD Cap is probably from the same file I obtained but corrected.
Ive located a WEB-DL in 720p sourced from ITunes with a DD5.1 track is this the one you have?

There is a web DL

I have web version , PQ is good but low bitrate audio

I'd be glad to provide anything from the R1 DVD.

I've seen the LD of this floating around but never seen the film before. Guess I need to grab it the next time it pops up.

I've got the US LD so I can donate the PCM/AC3. What was the verdict on the web-dl quality wise vs. the HDTV?

Ive grabbed the 720p Web-dl but Ive yet to look at it or compare the two.
Very busy at the moment so Im unsure when ill get a chance to spend some time on this.

We seam to have the assets to complete a project among us which is great.

Weirdly after writing my last post moments ago Ive come across a 1080p Web-dl!
In grabbing now.
