I have some saved games for this game but nothing like the one you describe that you need, so I am not sure what I would send.
There is one save I have called "truevideo," which I am wondering if it might be relevant to the "figure out what the extra data showing on the video with Gray means."
The game itself is quite nonlinear, so the fact that you aren't experiencing something that you think you should be, just means that there are other things that you need to do first.
