Kino Lorber "raw' version or VCI replacement Blu-ray

Kino Lorber "raw' version or VCI replacement Blu-ray, no comparison available 

See DVDBeaver for the whole fiasco but Kino Lorber's main feature was a DNR mess but it fortunately included the "raw" version. VCI initially had a bitrate < 10 Mbps but have sent out new disc with bitrate around 35 Mbps.

UCLA has a new restoration done in 2015, but no release yet

Only VCI has optional subtitle and commentaries, while Kino Lorber doesn't

France Movinside Blu-ray

France Movinside Blu-ray although has contrast boosting, still better than Kino Lorber's aggressive DNR caps

Disney+ HD Streaming

Disney+ HD Streaming is the 4K restoration, but no Blu-ray release. Otherwise there is a superior bootleg 35mm scan that's uncensored and has no DNR

Disney Britain Blu-ray or bootleg 35mm scan having less DNR and digital repaint/recomposit

Britain BFI Pioneers of African American Cinema boxet Blu-ray or US individual Film Masters Blu-ray no comparison available

Specifically the BFI boxset is better than the Kino Lorber boxset as you can clearly see the DNR in Kino Lorber http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film5/blu-ray_reviews_73/pioneers_of_african-american_cinema_blu-ray.htm

New 2016 Pathé France 4K transfer > Criterion/Second Sight with old transfer heavy DNR https://slow.pics/c/z8p3fR0G

Britain Arrow Blu-ray

Britain Arrow Blu-ray

Kino Lorber Blu-ray is significantly worse with potential DNR see caps

OOP Olive Films Blu-ray seems to be the same transfer as Arrow but with Quicktime Gamma Bug see comparison

Paramount 4K Blu-ray or Blu-ray

Paramount 4K Blu-ray. See caps
HDR/grading: nice, but some blown out
Encoding: inconsistent, smeared motion
DNR: inconsistent, frozen
Old Paramount Blu-ray is arguably a solid alternative choice

Paramount 4K Blu-ray mono is different version of the BD mono from the same old 2000 DVD transfer.

The 5.1 remix on the UHD is an appalling remix done by going wild with artificially generated stems from Park Road Post who were given the surviving mono to separate. The experience is jarring and fidelity to original mix in terms of level balance, directionality and impact is nonexistent. Not only does this sound painfully weird, but the Paramount mixers then did whatever they wanted in terms of LFE, sound pans and effect changes.
The original mono mix was not restored and still needs it badly. The 4K master is filled with frozen grain examples coming and going plus some HDR issues in addition to the usual Paramount problems. It is simultaneously better and worse than the BD master.

Unrestored: 35mm scans or 1990 Disney LaserDisc

Restored: 1998 Disney LaserDisc/VHS and DVD and Blu-ray versions are edited (colors altered, DNR applied, and animation errors fixed)

Unrestored: 35mm scans or 1990 Disney LaserDisc

Restored: Disney Blu-ray

35mm scans, possibly?

Italy Minerva DVD

Italy Minerva DVD:

Even though there is a RaroVideo Blu-ray, it has aggressive DNR and bad encoding so Minerva DVD is still visibly superior, see DVDBeaver caps.

While Minerva DVD has contrast boosting and black crush, it's still much superior to Britain Optimum DVD.

Fox Blu-ray

Fox Blu-ray, DNR

BFI 4K Blu-ray

BFI 4K Blu-ray has excellent master and grade, no DNR and tasteful HDR

Toho Japan 4K Blu-ray's OG Perspecta & mono (filtered but still sounds better than unfiltered 2009 Toho Blu-ray).
BFI 4K Blu-ray has OG Perspecta (in 5.1 container) and stereo downmix of it; no original mono.

The way Perspecta works is it just changes volume and panning of the mono across L/C/R channels depending on embedded control tones, so realistically all mixes are just the mono, but it's still a big shame that we get a stereo (presumably a downmix of Prespecta...?) rather than than proper mono.

Criterion Blu-ray

Criterion Demy Set, but terrible DNR from master for all releases

Criterion 4K Blu-ray

Criterion 4K Blu-ray: intact grain compared to Toho/BFI UHDs' DNR'd master

Criterion 4K Blu-ray is good, derived from the 1995 Criterion LaserDisc (which would be minimally better due to its lack of filtering) see blah-ray

Britain Screenbound Blu-ray

The Britain disc has supposedly had some revisionist changes done along with DNR. The disc is OOP. Tentative alternative is Criterion DVD

Criterion 4K Blu-ray

Criterion 4K Blu-ray see caps: https://slow.pics/c/Ifo4f1EO

Grain is sharper/clearer on the new Criterion 4K; BFI's grain resolves slightly worse and more so in motion, being a standard Blu-ray; The Toho 4K's grain is softer, probably DNR'd.

BFI Player/Amazon WEB-DL

US OOP Twilight Time Blu-ray

US OOP Twilight Time Blu-ray > Britain Paramount Blu-ray or US Inspired Blu-ray

The Britain Blu-ray not only have some DNR applied, it's also squeezed and cropped: see comparison

The color contrast from Twilight Time is however possibly suffering the Quicktime Gamma Bug, but that's an easier issue to fix than DNR or cropped images.

Criterion Blu-ray

Criterion, less bitrate but MoC uses too much DNR

Blu-ray better than Capelight Germany 4K Blu-ray, heavy DNR on the 4K Blu-ray

Universal 4K Blu-ray

Universal 4K Blu-ray, while has some mild DNR in a few scenes, the old Universal Blu-ray was an even older VHS master with DNR, so it's still a significant upgrade
