The Crow was a digital production (for sound) if I recall, so Dolby Digital and DTS would be native for the production. I've always heard the DTS laserdisc sounds great but seems to be expensive.
Maybe Jetrell Fo knows someone who has the Cinema DTS disc...

Early DVDs from Entertainment in Video (EiV) were a bit notorious. A lot of reviews describe this as pan and scan but seeing as The Crow was shot flat (1.85:1) this could well be open matte. The encode will most likely be horrendous.
Any DVD that was licensed from New Line (EiV were their distributor in the UK originally) was usually pretty good as they ported the USA DVD transfer/features although we usually lost either audio/commentary tracks or features. I remember Blade was a good early DVD. Films from other studios were a bit of a mixed bag. Deep Rising used to torment me as the video was 16:9 enhanced (and very nice) but the audio was DD2.0! In the end I got the R1 DVD which was LBX but 5.1.

Good to know. Seems as if I need to get one of that into my collection, too.

Love that film. It needs a remaster badly.

To my knowledge everything out there is based on a probably 10 to 15 year old transfer and it shows its age, IMHO
