It sounds like VCD res to me, is it MPEG1 or MPEG2? Source could be VCD or 'VCD-on-DVD'.

Would the VCD-on-DVD format be something 2005 production houses might have used?  Seemed to be the preferred pirate method of the time, curious if this is a reprocessing of another file or if this was the 'source'.  Have not uncovered anything more using the hex search, the only thing recognizable is the "Ulead Systems".

NFO comment: "WEEEEEEE, ripper named the rars funny, isn't he a hoot.  nuke this if you want.  it's real.  check a rar or two could be a SCREENER, looks more like a finished Workprint, since there's 2 fuck off big timers :) "

Since these groups have members who accomplish tasks, might be proof, that there was an uploader, could be the same as the RAR person, then this .nfo creator, then the distributors.

 

Timecode Start : RT (underscored by an arrow) 00:59:49:03 LTCR:00:59:49:02

Timecode End : RT 03:20:44:18 LTCR:03:20:44:14

RT = RealTime???? & LTCR = Linear TimeCode Recording???? (guess)

Timecode 00:00:00:00 : at beginning of count down.

Here's a pic of the unique frames from the pre-movie opening:  (most of the other frames are black with timecode running)
