Why is this in off topic?

Wasn't sure, as my questions are quite vague right now. Just figuring out what I want to do, as much as how.

Where should it be? "How-Tos-and-Technical-Discussions"?

Bakshi's LOTR only hit LD in Japan and is hard to come by even today. An NTSC Betamax copy be a good source for capturing the soundtrack. Was the Blu Ray mix that bad?

There are copies on eBay I see. I've heard unconfirmed rumours that the sound and video are different on the UK TV cut. Which is why I was leaning towards the old PAL VHS. It's decades since I've seen a VHS of it, so I couldn't be sure without comparing it to the Blu-Ray.

However, I'm 100% sure the final voiceover was totally re-recorded and ruined (IMO) for all post Peter Jackson VHS/DVD/Blu-Ray releases.

I just want it to sound like I remember, goddammit! ;-)
