I finally gave up trying to figure out why my already existing video capture hardware/software would no longer work and I bought some new hardware/software to replace it. So, backtracking to Scenes 129-131, and sort of in the vein of the video I created for Scene 170, I've "recreated" Angelique's hanging using audio from the reel-to-reel tape of the 97 minute releases version of the sequence along with video/stills of much of the missing material. It's certainly not perfect, but I'm happy with it:
And you may wonder why a good deal of the footage isn't up to the quality of the DVD/Blu-ray? Well, that's because the footage taken from the trailers is nowhere near as good as that of the DVD/Blu-ray, so for better consistency the footage I capture from the actual film was captured from the VHS. I also did that so that all the footage would be 4X3 like that from the trailers and not a mixture of 4X3 and 16X9...
