Does anybody have the old pan n scan/open matte LDs of Godfather I and II that had digital sound? After watching the BD, I'm fuming over the mono's relegation to the far corner over the nice and clean overdone 5.1 track. Hopefully someone can confirm that these are accurate as I'd love to use them over the surround track.

Doesn't the Bluray have the mono track?

Yes, but a somewhat tinny DD 192 kbp/s. The remix is well done but a standard stereo score, effects too separated and spread out with centered dialogue version of a mono track. Toggling back and forth shows the better mix on the original track.

POTA sounds wonderful in mono. I had always kept the old DVD that had it. Need to upgrade to the BD set as it looks great and has the uncut Conquest.
