Rev, did you get a copy yet? If so, could you please grab some screenshots (ideally the same frames as in the first post) for comparison?
I managed to find out a little more info on the source I used - the generational chain goes like this:
[unknown] -> 3/4" U-matic tape -> VHS copy -> DVD recorder copy -> my Xvid
I suspect that catnap's version comes from a completely different source.
