I've never seen LD video with issues like that. It's more like tape dropouts. Would Lucasfilm just slap a videotape of the footage onto a disc, warts and all? Especially a trade show demo disc?

And are we going to try and pool resources on this?

No, all those problems were down to the way it was originally copied; using a plain old dvd recorder. There were problems with the disc itself which caused dropouts which the recorder couldn't seem to handle and cause those problems. Which is why i was pushing to get a proper capture of it done.
