If possible lossless audio would be preferable for the track.
I ripped it at 320 kbps with the highest quality setting for VBR on as well...should I re-rip it with Apple Losesless?
I have a uncensored version of the film in Divx/Xvid (not sure of the exact codec). If there isn't anyone who has the DVD, frames from my files could at least be used as place holders until a DVD is acquired.
I have the american reigon-1, so perhaps if I could get that one from you I could theoretically start work splicing & dicing this thing...
Anyone recommend any good tools for such a process? (Btw, how big of a file is your unknown version of it?)
On another note, I've read that the Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing section is edited on all DVDs:
In the lengthy shot where Nicole Kidman dances naked in front of a mirror to Chris Isaak's "Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing," the second half of the shot, once Tom Cruise walks over, has been zoomed considerably for the DVD. The first half is as it was shown in theaters, with rear nudity from Kidman, but seconds before Cruise enters the frame, the image starts to zoom up and in rapidly, so that when Cruise enters, only a section from his elbow up is visible. In the theatrical version and the original unrated trailer, when Cruise enters, the frame goes well below his navel. - from the IMDb
Does anyone have the unrated trailer; or even better, some manner of bootleg of the theatrical version (which would be useful for syncing up the altered music as well) which could be used to recover this footage?

Yeah I don't know if this kind of shot (or the others really) are possible to recover unless someone has some pretty good insider knowledge, but it's a good thought anyways.
