Thanks for the update Mallwalker. It's always fascinating to see the quirky little things about each different release. BTW, side2 seems to look good to me. I haven't gone through each frame of course but I did watch it through in real-time and didn't notice anything out of order.

It's a shame that side1 has some audio and chroma noise towards the end. I will probably step outside of my normal modus operandi and apply some chroma denoising to it just to reduce the flickering. I wonder if the cbs/fox pressing has less noise than the plain old fox release that I have.
