I know it's video noise; the real question is what's it doing there, and where did it come from?
Some form of temporal processing mucked up the original grain structure into the sort of blotchy...

All of the DVDs in the last several years - Dutch, Japanese, French and so on - have been 100% complete and uncut. Only the old Roan Group LD master which was recycled several years back is missing...
