Topper, I have the scene you're missing cut out of the digital broadcast (TB version).  I can share with you.  Also, you may want to check my preservation of the HDTV version of TPM posted on myspleen.  It has been completely resynced to the dvd version and all damaged frames corrected from other sources.  Also, I did no color correction there, so you could change it as you like.  

I also posted my avisynth scripts for creating the video, which you could alter to give the highest quality.  You would need the source files, which might be a little tough to track down, but not impossible.  For TPM, you'll just need the pal hV version and the german hdtv rip.

Sounds interesting. I'll send you a pm.


And about the quality. The blu-ray has definitely better quality, but is made to look digital, grainless and "unfilmish", to fit in with episode II and III.
Yes, you can ad grain again and make your own version of that, like someone already made here, but I would prefere to have the option to watch the "old" telecine with grain and flmlook intact, even if it is lower quality. Because I can watch the blu-ray anyway, if I want. So it would be about preserving that version, that still looks like the film, it was scanned of from, withouth the red tint, that is definitely an error.

I already made that theatrical color corrected version from my HDTV file, but I will check the offered possibilities for better quality versions, before I share it.
