I've seen The Doors on no less than five different video editions and own both the Lionsgate and Studio Canal Blu-rays. I can vouch that the SC exhibits richer and deeper colors than the LG. The LG is definitely softer. The disparity in the video bitrates is hence misleading. The 24-bit 7.1 track explodes with pulsating power on the surround channels but I like that the SC includes a 2.0 track that closely replicates the film's original Dolby Stereo.

Done.

The DE disc has a lower bitrate yet has better compression.

I'm not sure what I'm seeing - and I don't trust caps - but is the DE release DNR'ed? Something seems to be making it softer.

The US remastered is noisy and features artifacting, whereas the EU remastered isn't (as bad), still not perfect, but is better than the US release.
