NOTES
Used superior video from the new Criterion Blu-ray as it’s from a new 4K restoration, the uptick in detail and fine grain is quite revealing compared to the best source encoded from the old master which was the GER one.

Only the Criterion and the previous USA Blu-ray from 2008 have the true original mono, as the GER, ESP, FRA and DVD have a downmix from the said 5.1. The giveaway is the parts there’s remixing, the other monos don’t contain these, also there’s an abrupt change in the mixing levels on said donwmixed monos, while the CC and USA 2008 are good. Between the USA 2008 and the CC, the USA one has less noise reduction, the CC despite being lossless is more muffled so synced the USA 2008 to the remux, along with an edit to compensate for 16 frames which were added on the new restoration at the end of the dream sequence.

The 5.1 on the Criterion was worse, with same dithering as on other blu-rays, also like the mono, they didn’t account for the frame differences that the new restoration had and just slapped the track as is, meaning at the end dream sequence, the CC is oos by 667ms, so the best track was from the GER Blu-ray and synced (with also an edit to compensate 16 frames at the end).

Additional PGS were synced. Likewise for the srts. Named chapters synced to the I-frames of remux and added one for end credits
