Techniscope is such an unusual film format, that they may have simply used a 35mm release print for the old video masters that had the slight distortions in it. How does the ITA compare?

Yeah, could maybe be the reason for it. Erri's original AVI-file is 720/576 = 5:4, but you can see its true aspect ratio if you adjust it to display in 4:3 in VLC:

P.S. I've asked Puggo if he can capture the Warner/Kinney logo off the 16mm print. Keep your fingers crossed.

I'm definitely going to use the DVD for the opening credits but it would be really nice to see your print captured by him. :)
