There are 4 versions of the film. Which does these specs apply to and how about the other versions?

The Film - Workprint cut (original 4:3 widescreen beta tape master - 97:32)

4:3 is not widescreen. Is this a typo?

The Film - Workprint cut in HD with beta tape inserts (Japanese dubbed - 97:32)

What kind of audio codec is used?

The unrated cut is full HD and no longer contains SD inserts.

I don't understand what you mean by no longer containing SD inserts. In comparison to what?

Audio for disc two is DTS-HD MA 2.0 Stereo

Which languages for which cuts?

[estebon_spielbergo]

- Top specs, as usual, are for the main disc
- All versions of the film are 1.85 except that the original beta tape workprint is 4:3 non-anamorphic widescreen
- All content on disc 2 feature DTS-HD MA 2.0 stereo
- Previous versions of the unrated cut had SD inserts for the violent bits. This version does not.
Hope that clears things up.

- All versions of the film are 1.85 except that the original beta tape workprint is 4:3 non-anamorphic widescreen

4:3 non-anamorphic widescreen, this doesn't apply to Blu-ray since Blu-ray doesn't have a 4:3 option. Do you mean this is windowboxed 1.85:1?

- All content on disc 2 feature DTS-HD MA 2.0 stereo

English and/or Japanese?
Are Japanese subtitles available for all version?

Also, as I asked before, the other versions of the film - 1080p, AVC MPEG-4?

[estebon_spielbergo]

- Most 4:3 content is windowboxed on blu-ray as is this.
- All included HD content is AVC encoded in 1080p
- All content feature optional Japanese subtitles
- Every single thing on disc 2 has DTS-HD MA 2.0 in its respective language.
Hope that clears things up.
