I don't think they would do a negative scan for a 5 minute clip for the website, especially since the resolution of the clip itself was small. It was probably just easier to use the VHS tape they had on-hand since it costs virtually nothing, while retrieving and scanning the neg could get you into the tens of thousands of dollars. Was that clip even available before 2004? Maybe they found the negative while scouring for material for the 2004 DVD.
