Sorry for the confusion, I meant, the commentary by Carpenter is Russel initially was released on the laserdisc, so for most people it's the "LD" commentary (there is another by Debra Hill and crew which originated on the 2003 DVD, that one is the "DVD" commentary.

It's this laserdisc shown here

I don't think the audio of the commentary from the LD is worth ripping, the quality is probably very close to what is on the DVD, but the actual Dolby Surround audio could actually be great to have in PCM.
