Notes
Used video from the Paramount Pictures UHD as it's superior to the encode of Capelight, Capelight suffers from having a poor encode with less grain and more blocking, comparisons: https://slow.pics/c/s4RtNiS8

For audios, the Paramount 5.1 is similar to what the mix was created in 2004, it's been said it's culled from the 6-track, and its fidelity compared to all previous stereo mixes is something else; it has some minor clipping in back surrounds, but nothing like the 7.1 mix with a lot more clipping on more channels, including the LFE, so was excluded. Also the back surrounds of 7.1 still have it, just been attenuated and used duplicated back surrounds upmixing to create the 7.1 mix. The 5.1 also has less roll-off. So it was prefered for a track based on the 6-track mags (it's been mixed to home 5.1 surrounds, but it's still culled from it). For dolby stereo audio, the only original ones are from the dvds and LDs, the one on capelight and olive are just downmixes of this track created on 2004, as I downmixed the audios and there's no difference, also checked against all the original stereos and there's a lot of differences that only the new remix 5.1 (and upmixes of that one has) remains the same, there's a lot of limiting (a telltale of downmixes) on the downmixed stere and boosting. Due to that it has a crap dynamic range, and you better just hearing the 5.1 track. For best stereo audio, had to get the LD one and sync to UHD.
