I was thinking of editing the cut footage back into the German DVD but I'm in two minds now as to whether it's worth the effort as this new version is in pretty good shape.
Meaning the Koch disc? Be forewarned, Jonny: it's the wrong ratio. It's 16x9 all right, but it's like a 4x3 image partially matted down by letterboxing. I compared the Koch disc to my Video Search of Miami dvd-r, and the Koch disc is missing some image area.
In fact, there's a lot of ratio screwiness where this title is concerned. That VSOM disc has one shot -- an explosion, I think -- that plays full screen, whereas the rest of the movie is presented 16x9. Must've got that shot from a different source...
Good luck, though, and keep up the good work with the fan dubs and all. It sounds as if you're doing a lot for Eurocrime fandom...
