I may fix it for my copy. I have found a couple of programs that can make cuts on any frame, not just I-frames or key frames. When they save the edit, they bit-for-bit copy everything aside from the edit point, where they re-encode a couple of frames before and after the cut in order to make it work. Without programs like this, the only way to delete that single frame would be to re-encode the whole thing. The two programs I have found that can do this are VideoReDo and TMPGenc MPEG Editor with "Smart Rendering" (which is their official name of the function that I descibed above). That is how I perfectly cut out the 4 second black space in ESB without leaving any black frames or losing any good frames.

I am keeping a copy of the original "TR47" set too, errors and all. It may sound odd, but I see the original "TR47" set as a genuine piece of Star Wars history with an interesting backstory. It set the standard for quite some time and, what is used for comparison screenshots for the elaborate "X0 Project"? The TR47 of course. Plus, the name "TR47" sounds cool, like something out of Star Wars itself.
