Love the audio options! Picture wise, what are the main differences between the original theatrical presentation of TS '95 and the later home media releases?

The Boundary Break guy himself, Shesez, actually did a video showing off those different versions here (https://youtu.be/6w4bzm6ewRQ). In fact, I forgot to mention that this video is actually one of the reasons why I made this preservation in the first place.

The things I should point out that he hasn’t pointed out are that the ending credits have been changed from scratch for the 2010 BD, including recreating the MPAA and Dolby Stereo Digital SR logos, so this is why I included the original ending credits from the 2005 UMD Video release, as the UK 10th Anniversary DVD has the credits in 50 frames interlaced.

In fact, even though Sheesez talks a little bit about the colour grading from the VHS to the THX DVD and 3D BD release, it was mainly since the official transfers of the film used for the VHS (and LaserDisc) were from a 35mm source, and depending on the film stock, it would change the colour from its original raw digital frames. But since there was a difference with the colour grading between the DVD and Blu-ray, I’d assume this was a YUV to Rec.601 NTSC colour space conversion when transferring the raw 2K digital source to DVD, especially since the UMD Video release uses the YUV colour space, which would later be used for the identical Rec.709 colour space when the film was released on Blu-ray, so that is why I used the colour space from that source as reference, though I would assume the lost HDTV rips might use the same colour space as the forthcoming BD, but we’re not sure yet.
