I never said there aren't sources that are better than the laserdisc transfer. I said that isn't typically how transfers are done. The Laserdiscs were likely created from a low con IP, which may or may not still exist.
Again I didn't say it was lost. It’s likely that the original cut could be recreated from the OCN. It's simply that the owner doesn't want to do that.
