Man... your trials / travails with this is starting to make me want to do the same with Muppet Babies (which would be my first project of this nature), which really badly needs a preservation that's closest to the best quality and could (possibly) be used as a proper DVD master if Disney ever got off their butts and did something with the show. That's going to be a Google search and a half to get me started on learning the ropes.

Anyways, I'm rambling now. I'll subscribe so that I can keep better in the loop on your project, which is very important to me because I loved this show as a kid.
