I read the 2.0 on the 1st Ghostbusters DV edition is messed up. It's either echo-y or the center channel is bleeding left and right or in the surround channels or whatever. The PCM from LD was said to be better for that reason.

yes though I heard the stereo for Ghostbusters 1 on the UHD isn't dolby stereo encoded while the BD included in the set is. It's weird. Also yeah the Criterion LD has more high frequency detail

I dunno, when I watched it last October, the LFE was overbearing to the point of being annoying. Not what I would expect from a 1984 film. The BD and UHD DTS-HD 5.1s don't have that issue. To my ears, the Criterion laserdisc 2.0 sounded best.

some of them aren't, some studios like to hide original mixes in them sometimes
