Interesting point regarding the soundtracks... the original laserdisc track features the "Broadway Assault" without music underneath but the BD audio adds music all the way through this sequence.  The HDNet soundtrack has the original audio mix.  Never noticed that before.  The BD has an added line when Snake first meets Cabbie during their conversation in his cab (Snake-"That's real good").  This line is not present on the laserdisc or the HDNet broadcast.  HDNet didn't use the Special Edition 2003 audio which is the same as the new BD mix.  Interesting that the HDNet mix is 5.1 but still the original sound design... the laserdisc is original but 2-channel, naturally.  Where did HDNet get a 5.1 mix of the original audio?  Wouldn't it have been 2-channel?  That just kind of threw me because I'm wondering how HDNet ended up with a mulit-channel mix featuring the original version (no added music cues, no added dialogue, no alternate "Damn Redskins! They're savages, Mr. President.")  Anyway, BD Rebuilder worked like a charm for me.
