The coloring of the official widescreen Extended Edition is a little different from the THX Theatrical. Not much, but a bit.

The bitrate for the movie is the same as the bitrate of the original DVD, that's why the size seems a little small. It's still larger than the original DVD because I encoded it to err on the "higher quality" side.

Some Halloween fans complained about aspect ratio differences, so I felt I should mention it. If you put the extra scenes from the official Extended Edition DVD directly into the theatrical DVD scenes, the letterbox bars aren't in exactly the same place. So I reconstructed the formatting of the letterbox bars from the ground up, so it all matches.

The 5.1 audio is not available on the official Extended Edition DVD, only the theatrical cut. So I added that option as a bonus for people who like that audio.

If you already have the Theatrical THX, that's what the theatrical scenes looks like. There's no loss in quality.

But yes, the main difference is the titles. Now when it cuts to Smith's Grove, it's not harsh like on the official Extended Edition. It's a gentler transition like on the NBC version.
