I'm pretty sure I went with an ITU aspect ratio for the DVD version, and the first thing I noticed when comparing it to the Bluray was the difference in aspect ratio, which looks to be exactly the difference between a generic and ITU aspect ratio for DVDs. Here's a couple of screenshots. Have a look at the clock-face on the left. I'll leave you to decide in which screenshot it looks round, or for that matter, if it's even supposed to be round.

Out of curiosity I bought the newest version of the DVD ("remastered" one, specifically this one which was referenced here as being superior to the BD).

Well, the DVD aspect is identical to the BD, except the BD is slightly zoomed in to remove a few pixels of blanking at the bottom edge present on the DVD.

Oddly though, the external shots are a lot worse on DVD in terms of colour and resolution, except for the intro sequence.

Edge enhancement seems present in the DVD too, but diminished probably as a result from the downscale from 1080 to 576. Noise reduction is not present in the DVD it seems.
