.Note
A lot of sweat is saved thanks to DON's remux. The Mondo transfer has a better picture quality and a larger effective picture area compared to the MGM transfer. Since the Mondo transfer does not have an English audio track, framerate was altered from its original 24fps to 23.976fps to accomodate the English audio track from the German transfer.
