Not to be a thorn in the side, but I worked on the Anchor Bay "Suspiria" DVD. You can see my name (along with my restoration of the radio spots and my promotional materials) in the special features. The 5.1 mix on the DVD is from the original 4.0 magnetic Soundtrack found on prints made for major engagments; the differences between the stereo VHS/LD and the 4.0 mix is much like the differences between the 70mm, stereo and mono mixes of Star Wars. There really isn't much of a remix involved there between the 4.0 mag track and the 5.1 DD/DTS Tracks. I believe an LFE track was added, but that's about it.

That said, I think it's cool that you've done this, as there have been a lot of complaints about it from fans who saw it the first time with the early 90's video release (people are so used to the Magnum release sound mix, that it's become the one they love).
