It would be miraculous if the source for this bootleg was the 70mm version. Do you happen to know?

Info:
_The Betamax tape that was used for this transfer was bought at a video store in Qatar in 1982.
At the time, there was no pre-recorded video industry in the country, so grey-area duplicates were sold openly.
This particular tape seems to be mastered from a telecine of a theatrical print from the UK.
Members of the OT forum contacted me regarding the contents of this tape in december 2010. I offered to make a DVD duplicate of the contents and send it to a forum member.
The transfer from Beta to MPEG2 was done with a Betamax machine hooked up to a commercial DVD/HD recorder. From there, the raw capture was trimmed using VideoReDo.
The aspect ratio of the original telecine was off, so the file was re-encoded, correcting the image proportions and fitting the file on a DVD5 in the process.
DVD-ROM supplement with cover art, disc art and pictures of the original Betamax tape.
