Oh, good, I got the right one, then. ;)

Well, that's tempting to just go ahead and get 
the Flicker Alley version, but, like you, I 
really do prefer to see the original intertitles 
rather than re-made ones (plus I do still have 
*so* many films to see that I've been 
taping/capturing!). :/  As a typophile, I 
actually find it quite fascinating to see the 
original early typography and/or calligraphy used 
in these, and these new "re-done" versions hardly 
do justice to the original versions (Kino's "The 
Holy Mountain" and their "Caligari", for example).

"Weaker" in what sense? Do you mean the plastic that the discs are made out of?
