Jonno said:I have a copy of the Predator laserdisc I'm planning on capturing and syncing when time permits.

That would be excellent.  If it's at all possible, please sync it to the old MPEG-2 BD rather than the Ultimate Hunter Edition, which was heavily DNRed. 

I too had wondered where the 4.0 mix on the US Predator BD came from.  Its being a discrete encoding of the Dolby Stereo makes sense.

What I don't understand is where the 4.0 track on the original R1 Pinocchio DVD from Buena Vista came from.  The original was mono.  If you're going to upmix the audio, why not make it 5.1, as was done later?
