Is there a complete Criterion Transfer of Ghostbusters or just the extras?


It's just the extras from Criterion's CAV laserdisc (and possibly something else - see next paragraph), which is why I decided to call it "Ectoplasmic Residue." While it's a decent transfer, I thought Sony/Columbia did a stellar job with their initial DVD release (sadly out of print, but easily available). The same transfer is now available as part of that awful green box set. When and if I'm able to obtain software that can handle dual-layer authoring without going nuts, I may decide to revisit this idea and do an "ultimate" version - movie and all.

That said, I'm looking for a decent quality version of the Ray Parker, Jr music video. I snagged one from a GB fan site, but I'd rather not have to resort to using its pixilated goodness if I there's an actual source I can capture. If anyone can point me to a DVD, laserdisc, or even a pre-recorded VHS tape, it would be appreciated greatly.
