What is the label on the box and disc?

Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital Stereo, Spanish Dolby Digital Stereo

Both tracks are stereo remixes?

1. On the studio

There was no logo or nothing. I was looking for MGM but it wasn't there. Try looking at the image on Amazon - there is nothing there and nothing on the disc itself either. Maybe its a pirate? The back gets the running time wrong as I mention.

2. On the soundtracks

When I right clicked the audio option on the menu the narrative on my screen said 'English Dolby Digital Stereo' and 'Spanish Dolby Digital Stereo'. Whether this is correct or not I have no idea and I wouldn't know how to check this.

Check by ear. If there is stereo separation between the left and right speakers it is stereo. If it's the same sound coming from both speakers it is mono.

As for the label, is there nothing on the disc itself or on the menus?

It sounds mono to me.

Nothing at all.

In contrast the gunfighters of casa grande DVD has the WB logo together with Turner Entertainment and Warner Archive on both the box and the disc itself.

[James-Masaki_Ryan]

Hm, it seems bootleggy to me. We'll have to pass on adding this one.

[Tim_Rogerson]

In mitigation, it is on Amazon for sale (which is here I bought it) and it does have subtitles and two soundtracks.

[James-Masaki_Ryan]

Just because it is on Amazon doesn't mean it's "real". There are many third party sellers that sell unofficial things and unfortunately slip through the cracks.

[Ain_Uussaar]

Doesn't have to be third party seller. Amazon has done it and still does.

Releasing Studio: Resen/Llamentol

Every release from them is like a bootleg, they use unofficial sources for their releases, but most of the time they have the rights. The studio is very well know in Spain for the low quality of their releases.

OK - thanks. I guess we can close this thread.
