I have to agree with MeBeJedi. I think a hybrid DVD based on the 2004 release would not be so good. Even if LD footage of the changed scenes could be spliced in, the framing would probably be off, so you'd have to crop the DVD source slightly throughout to compensate or stretch the image temporarily. Furthermore, a lot of the changes are in the soundtrack and musical cues, so it wouldn't be just cutting and pasting frames, but trying rework the score in places. Finally, there are just too many little changes that GL made. If it's only the big ones that bug you, then fine - but when every new cracked out sound effect, orange explosion, digitally-added blinking light/distraction, or farting noise (see: right before the trash compacter creature appears) triggers a torrent of resentment at the man responsible for all this... well, let's just say I'd rather watch a blurrier, but consistent LD transfer.
