Note from Encoder:

Encoded with 2-Pass at 5,000 kb/s, includes extras, 3 audio commentary tracks (although one is in German), plus English and German subtitles. Several sources were used for this release as there are a lot of extra features spread out across multiple editions. The main feature was encoded from the German Universum Film release as this is the best looking and most complete version currently available. All of the special features from the Universum Film, Masters of Cinema, and Criterion releases have been included as well but it should be noted that some of the extras from the German Universum version do not have English language options. Extras without English language options are noted in the filenames.
