This was another project I was working on, and the movie itself is ready to go, but perhaps Team Blu wants to take this one a step further. This is what I have done:
- Changed the codec from VC-1 (so annoying to work with) to AVC using very high quality settings to ensure the best possible quality preservation.
- Replaced the newer WB logo in the beginning with the original Warner Communications logo used in 1983 (no "presents" byline; upconverted to 1080p) using the simple guide posted on the Original Trilogy forums.
- Removed the commentary, English DTS-HD Master Audio track, and one of the Spanish AC3 tracks (this one had the changed music too), and instead, we now have a restored English PCM 2.0 Mono with the correct music (sourced from the 1997 DVD, which has stronger bass than the Blu-ray, and less hiss without the hiss removal, 1986 VHS re-release, and the TV cut recorded by me), and 1.0 Mono AC3's in Spanish; Castillian (included on the Blu-ray), French (from the 20th anniversary DVD), Italian (from the Region 2 DVD), Portuguese (from the 20th anniversary DVD), and German (from the Blu-ray).
- All audio options that weren't included on the Blu-ray have been properly synced up to ensure that there are no issues.
For now, this project is simply movie-only, and fits comfortably on a BD-25. Perhaps this can be expanded to a BD-50, including the extras that were on the 30th anniversary Blu-ray (which I have), and maybe even some stuff that weren't included at all. I don't have this one uploaded or seeded anywhere yet...I'll work on that eventually.

Any chance you'd be willing to make the restored English 2.0 audio track available separately?

I'll need somewhere to upload it to. Also, keep in mind, that I had to trim the beginning of the movie, so the restored audio will reflect that as well, but thankfully, I used a round figure for the trimming, so it'll be easy enough to work around.
