Source 1 Powerhouse Films GBR UHD Blu-ray (2025): Used for video (demuxed with eac3to and merged with dovi_tools), audios and its pgs.
Source 2 SchröderMedia GER Blu-ray (2007): For the best mono and commentary. (Ignore the description of blu-ray.com, it's all wrong).
Source 3 Synapse Films NTSC DVD (2008): For named chapters.

Notes
UHD mono contains a lot of filtering (3 band pass filtering) when there's dialogue in the movie, presumably to remove the hiss, but it's destructive as one can hear on the sample: https://mega.nz/folder/yGh2HBzQ#sU4mUEDEvPgNkGjatIsp_Q
I had to get the mono from GER Blu-ray, as it's the same mono as the other editions but without any cutoff at 15 khz. This was synced by waveform and patched too with some cues from UHD. The UHD mono still on remux for other option. For commentary the UHD had a cutoff at 13khz, while GER was the same as on DVD, so used the GER. The English SDH commissioned by Powerhouse Films is an improvement over the other one used in all Blu-rays.
