Jeez the French looks significantly better, can't believe I just bought Sight and Sound cus I saw it in Kim's!
How's the audio on the French? the UK is certainly scratchy and you can hear the vinyl/tape/audio source

Re: Warner and Welles
They've done a lot of audio restoration too on the French disc. It's quite good (actually even better than the video restoration, which is perhaps overdone just a little bit IMO). The French release has forced French subs though.

Re: Warner and Welles
My Macbeth edition is the original 2005 release with the 80-page book. There's no doubt that it has forced subs; I've tested it on Oppo (region-hacked BD player), Panasonic, Yamaha, and Philips. I've not managed to remove the subs on any of these players. If your edition is the rerelease, then it seems likely that the forced subs are gone on that particular release.
Sure, the forced subs doesn't have to be a big problem. There are a lot of workarounds. It plays from PC without subs. But my preferred option, as you suggest, is to rip it to a hard drive and play it via NAS.
