Snowbeast (1977)

The attachments are screen grabs about 13:23 into the movie, comparing the CBS Late Movie version, encoded in 1080p on the Makeflix Blu-ray, the longer Full Frame version, encoded in 720p on the Makeflix Blu-ray, and the 480p streaming version available on Amazon Prime. The Full Frame and Movie versions have the same horizontal extent, with the Full Frame picture opened up vertically. Both are opened up relative to the streaming version. Picture clarity and colors are much improved relative to the streaming version. The Full Frame version has thin black bars at top and bottom (trimmed in the attached picture), so the vertical resolution is only 702 pixels.

I found a longer version in poor quality on Plexiglas, but I haven't had a chance to compare if it really is the version with extra footage or if they just played around with time. I don't remember at what points the extra footage would be to check it quickly.
