Those caps look a LOT better than my old R2 Network DVD (which I cannot cap on my Mac, unfortunately; unless there's a trick I don't know). Here's hoping for a comparison from someone like Beaver to verify, as my memory could be faulty. Also, the old DVD was PAL and seemed to be running at varying speeds throughout (voices would be high-pitched then semi-normal, etc), though that could be due to my over-sensitivity to PAL speed-up and nothing else.

Interesting. My new packaging definitely says 83 minutes so let's indeed hope this corrected packaging will soon be found in stores...
Eh, it's hardly the first DVD that's been released with an inaccurate running time listed on the back. :-k

Have you been following the whole discussion? The crucial point here is that unless Lionsgate gets the corrected packaging into stores, there's no way to tell the cut from uncut editions on retailer shelves.

I use Snapz Pro X, but I have a professional excuse for paying for it.

Seeing as they supposedly recalled all copies of the botched version (it was completely unavailable at Deep Discount until 12/8), I'm willing to take the chance. :-"
