Yea I just realized that and I sincerely apologize for misrepresenting the quality of video. Its been a while since ive checked these discs over. If memory serves there was a problem with the recording process. I think there was a scratch in the dvd ram disc I was using in my panisonic set top dvd recorder. The opening and final big board round were all I could salvage. I just patched in the rest from a vhs backup. I think I have a full dvd quality copy. Gotta check the binder I keep them in.
