Well, for the start, the amount of work to be done.
Sources:
- The VHS rip done by that very acquaintance. Alas, Kubrick movies were never released in Germany on LD (at least, this one)
- Warner BluRay - source for German 5.1 audio. Alas, the VHS mono is of suboptimal quality.
- Criterion BluRay (image and 5.1 audio - would murder for a copy of the 1.0 mono!)
The Warner copy checked earlier has the wrong WB logo. The Criterion indeed has the Warner Communications logo. Also, it has a better, more filmic picture quality.
The German VHS rip is too low-quality to be able to be used as a source. Any attempts to get those darnded German titles to look like anything but smeary blotches have failed. On the other hand, it will be a helpful guidance for the placement, the look and the timing of the German titles...
...which are to be recreated from scratch.

I'm following the thread with interest, even if I'm not German
In Italy we also had a localized version that disappeared once the DVDs arrived.

I preserve movies as they first appeared in Italy.
