The one on Usenet is just a binary combine of the three Russian .MPG files.

There are multiple issues with that HDTV capture, some of which were discussed in the thread that spawned this one.

  • At least a couple glitches in the recording, and the pulldown pattern changes at least once.
  • There is horizontal aliasing. It looks like they took a 1440x1080 HDCAM master and resized it to 1920x1080 using point-resize. This can be fixed by downscaling and upscaling horizontally with a softer resizer. (I did that for the screenshot comparison)
  • Recording stops during end credits.
  • Being Super35, they cropped the sides off a bit to make the open matte transfer.
  • Compression.
