Well, as I said, it's not terribly accurate. My overall solution is rather different from what you would do: I'm making my own version.

So you don't know of any way to do it other than re-encoding it? How did Rowman do it? Did he just get it "close enough" or right on the money? and did he re-encode or make a bit-for-bit copy minus the 4 seconds of black screen? When I made my initial post on this thread, I hadn't acquired the TR47 copy yet and I wasn't even sure how the actual scene was supposed to look exactly. I just figured "remove 4 seconds of black screen; DVD Shrink can do that" but the way it worked out with the key frame spacing; it didn't line up perfectly with the start and end frames of that black space.

Like I said, I did make an edited version that only has about a half-second of black screen there with no re-encoding involved (I decided that was better than losing a few picture frames from both sides of the 4 second gap), and it is far better than 4 seconds of black screen; but I don't like "good enough" unless it is my only [realistic] option.

Edit: Can key frames be added without re-encoding? If I could do that, then I could make the start and end frames of the 4 second black space, key frames, and then proceed as normal with DVD Shrink.
