Rambo trilogy original mixes & color timing

[izzybell]

Did some more checking and research this morning since I did all this right before bed. It seems like the first capture is from the 1994 Live Entertainment Laserdisc [LD65923-WS]. The LDDB page lists that the audio on it has flipped stereo channels and when I double checked this morning I did notice that the stereo effects were swapped. Still no clue what the second capture is. I'd really like for a new cap of the Live disc but sadly I don't have laserdisc capturing abilities at the moment.

Edit: It is indeed the Live Entertainment disc

Ok, spent a bunch of time on this. Here's a slow.pics comp of all the original stereo tracks I could get a hold of.

My opinion: After flip correction, the Live LD seems to be on par with the other two laserdiscs with no real advantage like I had first thought. I think the best track is probably either the 1998 DVD or 2011 German Blu-Ray. Both have much better dynamic range than any of the LD tracks and are fairly detailed. The DVD clips but barely (0.11db at most) so the German BD might have a slight edge in that department. All in all, none of these are that bad except the UHD (which suspiciously looks like the German Blu-Ray with filtering)
