shepp74--We'd love to see some screens from your capture to compare. In particular, I have a shot that's partially covered by a Sci-Fi ad on the bottom. The shot takes place when we come back from a commercial and Helen wakes up on the Atol right before the smokers attack. Does anyone have that shot, sans ad? For most of the "Sci-Fi ad" shots I have alternates from other sources, but not so with this scene.

I may have other corrupted shots (I haven't gone through the whole thing yet, not even close) that I can post later. Worst-case scenario, ReverendBeastly's VHS should be able to fill in audio and picture gaps. There is a LOT of editing going into this version--besides the deleted scenes you've read about, there are a number of one-shot additions that nobody ever noticed. In fact, it seems like I don't move more than 60 SECONDS DOWN in the timeline before I need to add another random clip. Lots of future-slang and stuff establishing the environment that ended up on the cutting room floor. In the interest of completeness, I'm including everything I can to make this the longest version of Waterworld. That means anybody who wants to make their own "Definitive Cut" can take out what they don't like.
