But it is not well-compressed see caps

(The Kino Lorber 4K Blu-ray 5.1 was not well-handled, contains inaudible artifacts but is largely the same with the last Universal Blu-ray)

France Seven7 has Dolby Vision and Atmos unlike the US disc but was most likely encoded in the wrong color space

Cinema DTS, Blu-ray 5.1, DVD 5.1

Universal 4K Blu-ray. caps

Universal 4K Blu-ray omitted the original audio

DE Turbine is similar in quality, US Warner Bros is worse (caps: EU vs US, EU vs DE)

The 4K discs have different color timing to the older master, see caps.

The 2012 DE Turbine disc is the master as the 2008 US Warner Bros, only with some sharpening and a layer of added grain.

2008 Warner Bros US Blu-ray

The EU disc from Universal has neutered bass.

4K Blu-ray Atmos track is much more compressed in all channels.

> Criterion 2024 4K Blu-ray > Film4 4K Blu-ray

• Criterion 2026 redid the encoding and none of the blocking issues any more, see disc info and nicolas' review

• Criterion 2024 encode struggles with brighter areas of the image but still superior to Film4

5.1 remix: Criterion Blu-ray
Original matrixed stereo: Universal NTSC DVD

The 5.1 track is a new mix from the original elements, rather than a straight transfer.

Criterion booklet notes:
> High Art is presented in the aspect ratio of 1.85:1. Supervised and approved by director Lisa Cholodenko, this new 4K restoration was undertaken by the Academy Film Archive and the UCLA Film & Television Archive, in conjunction with the Sundance Institute, using the 35 mm original camera negative. The 5.1 surround soundtrack was remastered from the DA-88 edit masters and mix masters. Funding was provided by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Frameline, the Sundance Institute, and the UCLA Film & Television Archive, with laboratory services by Roundabout Entertainment, Red Hook Post, and Monkeyland Audio.
