Yes, it would have been a mess to make a side-by-side comparison keeping the original fields.

Not really. Those colorbars were recorded in the tape, they were not generated by the Thompson itself, so you can imagine that the problem was kinda persistent across the whole tape. As to the VTR being defective, it could be if it wasn't for the fact that I tried a Digital BetaCAM from 2007 on it and it played just fine. I think Thompson engineers only cared about Digital and didn't really pay much attention on the Analog counterpart which was older, so they limited their VTR to just play what was on the analog tape without any kind of adjustments. They probably thought that Digital BetaCAM were "the future" and focused on them only.
