For what it's worth, the Moth3r and Catnap Widescreen 1977's are from different sources: (thanks ReverendBeastly)
Catnap -> (see hair on right side)
Moth3r ->
Watched half of the Catnap, and it suffers from the screen's blacks periodically shifting to blue. Anyone seen something like this and could conjecture a cause? What's nice about this Catnap version is there are color bars at the beginning and it has the full 20th Century Fox and Lucasfilm logos, which the other SW's don't have. Compared to Moth3r's, the Catnap is cropped high at the bottom and left, and has a tad more screen on the right side.
The full Catnap discussion starts from this post:
It's also PAL (01:56:30), was attempting to watch Moth3r's, Catnap's and the 77_ANH_BOOTLEG at the same time to determine differences and every 10 second you need to do a stop/start to keep it on pace with the others. With all the audio's slightly off it's kinda eerie.
Because the quality of the pan/scan bootlegs is so poor, is there a possibility that these widescreen ones could be the source of the pan/scan. Would they have recorded off a tv or was there some VHS process to zoom in?
What issues does everyone recommend people pay attention to or look out for, when watching? Can be a general recording issue or some specific for any of the movies.
Anyone got experience with bin/cue files? Using a Toast trick can get to the MPG, but even VLC won't play it on the mac side, need to try it out on some PCs.
