hi great tread

waaaaay back in 1999 my dad somehow got a VHS bootleg of TPM and it sucked it was a piss poor cam job with blurry video worse audio and *possible* sections of the movie missing but it was so long ago ive probably forgotten but it didnt have the "z" in picture just a timecode on the top possibly the camcorders

after how bad it was another bootleg was lent to my dad from a friend who worked at decipher who made the 1990s star wars card game. which came in a jewel case on 1 or 2 cds *possibly VCD* which was in infinite improvement on the prevoius bootleg. it may have been the "z" version

after the cd set was lent back to the friend i got the offical vhs afterwards

fast forward to 2005 and me and my frend tom watched a bootleg dvd of episode 3 which didnt have the backstroke subtitles instead it had a timecode and sections missing including r2d2 falling upside down in the hanger and had artifacts all the time especially pronounced in fast motion

hope this is of some use
