Capelight DE 4K Blu-ray or Arrow UK 4K Blu-ray

Best Video:

Capelight DE 4K Blu-ray > Arrow UK 4K Blu-ray > Kino Lorber US Blu-ray, see caps

Capelight and Arrow both have good compression, but Capelight has the edge. Kino is very poor.

Best Audio:

Original matrixed Dolby Stereo: Arrow  4K Blu-ray or Image Entertainment LaserDisc
(Arrow is a port of the LD track, see spectrograms)

Capelight and old Arrow BD included the original stereo mix, but with excessive noise reduction rendering it much less detailed. Kino only included a downmix of the 5.1 remix.

The best and most accurate of the 5.1 mixes is from the 2003 Special Edition DVD in AC3 form.
