I am aware of:
(reported file sizes may not match below 1MB between different file
systems)
rbv02.mpeg 418MB duration 00:40:09:22
rbv02_Edit.mpg 345MB duration 00:40:03:27
Original version has problems. Edit version is missing the blank frames
at the end, and has no soundtrack.
rbv72.mpg 111MB duration 00:17:58:09
Rbm72.mpg 102MB duration 00:16:34:10
They are the same movie, but the rbv has more at the end. You will want
that. His longer rbv72 would seem to be of great interest.
Rbm74.mpg 62MB duration 00:07:32:13
It is not complete. "major diff" is right! A longer version would seem
desirable.
rbv01.mpg 29MB duration 00:02:52:04
Small diff with yours, but not worth the trouble.
RBV34ns.mpg 104MB duration 00:12:05:27
It is complete. Removal of the soundtrack made it smaller than the
other version. Check your duration to see which version you have.
Arrangements can be made for some of these to be posted, if there is
need.
