Interesting tidbit FF: It is reputed that the wipe at the end of FRWL is actually not present on the initial CBS/Fox VHS release. I'm currently looking for a copy to verify, but it is supposed to be the copy with Connery firing the flare gun on the cover:

My God! There's a possibility some cut 60s Bond footage survived. Hooray! Please keep us informed if the rumors are indeed true.

So without reading every post in detail, it seems Goldeneye had the framing fixed? (at a "cost" of more tweaking?)

Yeah, but my bet would be that they just used the SE DVD master and scrubbed it. So you're actually paying for a more than 10 year old master, with less detail than it could have if not DVNR'ed. I'd just stick with an HDTV capture despite the cropping: newer transfer, more grain (albeit amidst digital artifacts).
