Here's his response:

So the recompression most likely did not magically fix.  It was hand corrected.

 

The individual who worked on the 2004 DVDs, his impression is it's a chunk of missing data.  Either in the digital file or a HDCam-SR submaster tape.  Not knowing what that format is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDCAM  The format had an initial introduction in 1997 (Special Edition timeframe) and a SR version in 2003 (just before the DVDs)  this is a possibility for the loss of data.  Maybe the tape they used got a crinkle and the Humdinger came into being.  But if LFL did work 100% with harddrives then this theory is incorrect.
