If Catnap's is indeed from a 16mm reduction, it disqualifies it from being a "theater performance preservation", to me anyway.

It's been noted in the first post. But it's only a first strike, let's see if other identifying characteristics will come forward to add to the conclusion.

Again following the Reel Change theme, was looking at the Starkiller ones and there's an odd brown swipe which shows up at the same time as the burn marks would if they hadn't been cropped out.

Anyone got a clue what could cause this?

Also for those who have VHS tapes similar to the MeBeJedi and Starkiller, could you take a pic of the tapes and cover as you got them? Would also be interested in hearing the story of how you got your tape. See if any similarities might help identify something of interest.

thanks in advance
