Comment (by thegreatprophetzarquon):

 " If we want to get technical, I don't think our QuickTime implementation
 handles scaling yet..."

 This is all still just point-scaling (just repeating some lines of pixels
 in there), so I had thought that game was doing it for the Masterpiece
 Edition (mediainfo tells me the video is encoded as 129x89 set to display
 at 133x92): "proper" scaling would be undesirably blurry.

 " Hi, our objective is to always match the original executable; so this
 ticket doesn't fall under "bugs", but under "feature requests"."

 Thank you for the switch. That is completely reasonable, I just posted it
 because it's different from the Mac version and would have some nice
 benefits if implemented.

 The other reason I posted this (and I am aware this is beyond the scope of
 this project) is that I hate to see Cyan still sell the game with the
 first book's video completely broken. Way back when they had first updated
 their version to use ScummVM in collaboration with folks here, I had asked
 if it was possible to swap in Mac Masterpiece Edition's file and it was
 this behavior that was cited as to why they wouldn't (even though it turns
 out this was the original game's behavior the whole time). So however this
 turns out I think that decision might be worth revisiting is any of the
 ScummVM devs are still a part of that.
