-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That's looks like the same German release ( Cat no. 080 5101)

A little more digging tells me it was manufactured in the UK but sold only in Germany.

If you open the largest version of the picture of the disc itself, it is very easy to see the label says STEREO DIGITAL AUDIO. That's Linear PCM as I was saying earlier, not AC3. Hence why the DVD copy has Linear PCM audio.

Very good, up until that link I thought the DVD rip was from the known NTSC LD, if it was it could have had Dolby digital 2.0, which I think is ac3?
I'm just trying to figure out the best way to do this. Thanks to all for the help.

AC3 is another name for Dolby Digital. AC3 is short for Audio Codec 3 (not sure why the 3, perhaps the third one they developed?). So just as DD can be 2.0 or 5.1 or other combinations, so can AC3.
On Laserdisc it was usually called AC3 and everyone talked about AC3 decoders. The terminology changed by the time DVD came along and everyone was talking about Dolby Digital. I don't know why this changed.
On laserdisc AC3 was usually 384kbps 5.1. There was little point putting AC3 2.0 on laserdisc because that could be done just as well with the two channel linear PCM audio and was compatible with a lot more people's equipment. That's not to say there weren't any AC3 2.0 discs, just that they're not common.
I make no distinction between laservision, laserdisc and CD-Video. They are all just marketing name changes for the same underlying technology, and although they were meant to mean something (name change to laserdisc when digital audio came in) they aren't applied consistently enough to be certain what is being discussed.

I remember Brian said in his soapbox QP are working in the 3d release of Budapest. Maybe it means they have the full film in their archives

Oh please no, anything but 3D! Useless gimmick, it makes my head hurt.

Since GT is frequently reading Queenzone and he is definitely one of the good guys - if you reading this, and GB or QPL or Simon Lupton or whoever is in charge now of finding old footage, is interested then contact me and i will supply the clues who to contact or where to search more.[/QUOTE]
Some inquiring minds are curious to know if this was followed up on..
