but the weird part is, the fanfare, logo, and crawl are out of sync, but
the actual film, from the stars, the battle, and everything else is perfect.
I found it harder than I was expecting to sync the sound. (Remember, the sound came from one 16mm print, and the video from another.) It leads me to believe there are some minor differences in the frames between the two prints. Since one is the mono mix and the other is a mono version of the 35mm mix, I suppose sync issues are not all that surprising. But I doubt I'll have the patience to compare the two prints frame-by-frame.
I fudged a bit on the fanfare and logo, but the crawl should have been close. There was something strange going on ... it's possible that there is a chunk of film missing before the crawl - that is where the film is the most ragged.
