I did a comparison in Virtual Dub of the 3 versions I have, my Z2 retail, a Z1 rip I found, your V2 restore.

I took a scene every 10000 frames and looked what the actual start frame was on each version

So you see the Z1 and Z2 version are in sync ( there is a 168 frames jump at a moment but I checked and the Z1 has a 168 frame black scene).

But your version slowly drifts from -3 (initial offset) to -85.This can't be corrected by just editing 2 scenes, and unfortunately will prevent adding foreign language tracks and subtitle tracks to your version to built the ultimate "all version" like the Harmy Star Wars edit.

Still, I aknowledge the hard work it must have been to edit the movie scene by scene, and perfectly understand if you want to keep it as it is. Even if it means I'll have to continue watching my awful PAL DVD ;-)

Thanks!
