Sorry for the lack of response, ww12345. Hadn't noticed this. Thanks for posting an audio sample, will check it out.

If nothing else, this is good for capturing the original title card. Looking forward to seeing what it looks like.

If you have never seen the original opening, here is a sample:

my idea was to splice in the LD-footage with the DVD transfer but the low quality of the LD transfer in comparison with the DVD footage would never make a successful blend. When checking this out, I noticed that not only was the opening titles redone, the Lucasfilm/Coppola card was recomposited and for some reason the footage of Dreyfuss introduction got shifted by one frame, which means; when his car enters the frame, it's one frame earlier than the original and the last shot ends one frame before the original.
