For the first movie, the LD version is far superior and you should get BluDragon's excellent release of it (https://nyaa.si/view/178769). In all the DVD versions (as far as I know), besides having considerably worse quality, video is cropped to WS (and then released as letterboxed to make it completely useless as a DVD in modern times).

Video notes:

Things done:

• IVTC
• rainbow removal (rainbowing was nasty throughout, some leftovers in a couple of scenes)
• reduced halos (PA1-4 light and VS1-2 moderate filtering)
• reduced line shimmering (lower strength method to prevent excessive ghosting)
• removed screen shake (PA1-4)
• noise reduction (PA1-4 very light, VS1-2 moderate)
• slight resize for AR issues (PA1)

Audio notes:

• PA1 commentary track was encoded to 160Kbps AAC to save 135MB.

Subtitle notes (changes to Tsundere subs):

• all "episodes": subtitle positioning slightly adjusted, typo fixes, line joins, other minor edits
• PA1: fixed a (sign) font issue, added missing lines, added lyrics for insert songs and ED
• PA2: fixed some timing errors and a couple of bad/wrong lines
• PA3: one timing fix, added ED lyrics
• PA4: changed font for the Nyarlathotep chant ;)
• VS02: added missing "signs" (Location names on screen), one timing fix
