This is what you get ... and it was shot on celluloid at the time ... SHAME :-(
This Universal Blu-ray arrived in my mail today. The uncompressed rip is 21 GB. It's obviously a single layered Blu-ray, which have a capacity of 25 GB, not nearly 30. Yes, a bitrate of 26.8 mbps is ridiculous for a 720x576 anamorphic resolution, but I'd rather have a ridiculously high bitrate than a low bitrate. The fat grain and alternate DTS-HD MA 5.1 (Which may be a useless track. I'll find out later.) would definitely cut into the bitrate on a DVD. What's the point of complaining about H264 when every Blu-ray on the market uses that compression (possibly partly for compatibility with existing Blu-ray players) or the abandoned VC-1. I would rather have a movie edited on video in its max resolution than upscaled to HD. Plenty of SD movies are encoded in 1920x1080 on Blu-ray, which just wastes data.
