A local public library has the original Fox DVD release of "From Hell to Texas" with this artwork. From Hell to Texas - Wikipedia
Picture AND sound are truly excellent for lossy Dolby Digital-and the film is presented in color and its original 2.35:1 aspect ratio.
But the DVD is discontinued, I can't find any used copies for sale and now that Disney has acquired all of these Fox film classics (God help us) there's probably next to no chance of it being issued on optical disc again, certainly not on BD.
Instead, there's only this, of whatever technical quality.

And it won't work in my Region 1 Pioneer LX500 BD player. Or will it? Amazon says its Region 0 but the back of the box says Region 2.
In any case, it will play in my SuperDisc enabled Oppo 95 player and via VLC player in my HTPC.
However, as my main concern is A/V quality, what are the chances that this Fox licensed Spanish pressed or burned DVD used the same digital master as the Region 1 DVD?
But if it was burned rather than pressed, and if can I then copy it to an external SSD drive, what's the best file format to save it in? However, neither my Oppo or Pioneer players support ISO files. Thus, which lossless file format should I use and what software tools do I need?
