Soundtracks: Linear PCM 2.0
Subtitles:

I assume all the music tracks are in stereo and the aspect ratio is 1.33:1.
Do all the films have English intertitles? Are there any with foreign language intertitles with English subtitles?

[Matt_Bailey]

There's only so much I can do at once.

I've got both the sets ripped, now I can spend the time going through them both in a bit more detail.

[Matt_Bailey]

It seems the soundtrack codecs vary.

[Matt_Bailey]

Yes it is, booklet lists it as "The Little Rangers (aka Two Little Rangers)".
