Something I've noticed over the years, with each release and re-release on VHS, LaserDisc, DVD, problems that were fixed on one release were broken on the next, or at best had a different fix applied. It's like every release started from scratch instead of building on the previous version.
The suspicious part of me says that this was on purpose. It manufactures a reason for the obsessive people to keep buying it over and over hoping to finally get the "perfect" version that never really arrives.
