Is your PCM a combination of Belbucus' PCM and a downmix of the DTS-HD MA from the BD?

No, the program I was using for the audio editing was not able to register dts audio so I had to settle for the Special Edition dolby digital 5.1 audio from the DVD. So the PCM from these releases are a combination of Belbucus's PCM and a downmix of the SE dolby digital 5.1 audio from the DVDs.

The problem was able to handle the PCM audio no problem though and the dolby digital 5.1 as well and then output to PCM audio as well, so technically no audio quality loss should have occured along the way from either of the two sources to the final output mix, apart from the downmixing of the dolby digital 5.1 audio of course. I should mention that 99% of the audio mix comes from Belbucus's great 1993 PCM audio. I would always use the PCM audio, which I find much superior to the Special Edition audio because it sounds much richer and the John Williams score is so much more prominent. I only used the Special Edition audio when I had absolutely no other choice (usually for new SE special effects shots), the final mixes of each film are pretty much 99% Belbucus's PCM mixed with 1% of SE dolby 5.1 audio.
