I'm semi working on this, coming from a different angle. negative1 had taken the frame counts from the GOUT, i've been double checking them. Once you have those, the checking/conversion of the 1997 doesn't take that long. For example here's the SWSE:TB (far right) [40 shots have either a different count or were added between GOUT and SWSE:TB. and some of those are plus one or minus one frame, so those are spots which could be a problem or solution]

Have also done Lee Thorogood's PAL LD SWSE. So with the other known SE videos, compiled in a similar fashion, can get the spreadsheet to identify where the missing frames exist and piece together the known SE frames. But i'm not that certain how to check the DTS audio with the findings of the video. In another thread recently, msycamore said he took one of the SE releases and found a missing frame or two from it.

Will be going into this more in the spreadsheet thread. Where once an initial set of data is put out as Version.X. Then someone will need to verify / repeat the numbers currently found.
