I've been exchanging PMs with a member who is trying to track down the original laserdisc for me and to extract the PCM mix, which I will then sync to the video.

For now, the project lies dormant, awaiting that mix.  I made numerous tiny edits to make the Blu-ray version practically frame-accurate to the DVD version, but I want to give my source as long as possible to transfer the laserdisc track before replacing version 1.  I'm working on another project right now, and once that is done, I will get back to this and call it done, with or without that laserdisc mix.

As version 2 sits now, the only substantial correction is a single line which was in the director's cut (carried into version 1), which is not found in the theatrical cut.  When we see for the first time that Lorl is working for Salieri, the scene begins with the line "they're out every night, sir."  That line is absent in the original version (and version 2).

One member requested that version 2 be able to fit on a BD-R.  That will be done.  It should clock in at just below 25GB, and will include the DVD 5.1 mix, the isolated score mix, and the laserdisc mix if available.  I will not include the director's cut 5.1 mix, but make it available as a separate file that the viewer can remux on their own.

Thanks for your patience, everyone.
