It's pretty common knowledge (i think) that the first DVD releases of the Ghostbusters films contained 5.1 tracks that were re-purposings of the films original Dolby Stereo mixes now in discrete 5.1 format. I have acquired copies of these DVDs and synced the 5.1 tracks up to each films' respective 4K master, these should work on just about any release of them (the Mastered in 4K BDs, 2016 UHD, DoVi UHD). Available in 16-bit 48kHz FLAC 5.1, for all forum members new and old
Notes about Ghostbusters II: I sadly was only able to obtain a dupe DVD of this one where the English 5.1 track was reduced to 384kbps instead of the full 448kbps, if anyone here has a full bitrate copy of this track I'll gladly resync. I checked the DD 5.1 Backup track on the UHD and while it did have mono surrounds, After further A/B testing I found that it was just a downmix of the Dolby Atmos track due to the SFXs being synced differently than the Stereo track (also thank Bobby Brown since "On Our Own" was also mixed differently on the Atmos). I was also planning on syncing the Laserdisc stereo but one of the sides of the capture I had was off-balanced, the track only sounded slightly better than the UHD stereo anyways.
A russian tracker seems to have GB2 with english 448kbps track - upload year 2009.
