Seems to me that, considering the way that most bootlegs are compressed into very low quality films, the image that they would dub wouldn't be recognizable. Unless, of course, it is not inconspicous, in which case it would ruin the movie, now wouldn't it?
The creation of the machine was never explained in the book either. The protagonist just started talking about how time is like a fourth dimension, and that he made a machine that could travel in the fourth dimension. He showed a miniature model of it that went into the future. Nobody really believed him, and the next time around he was already back from the future and told the story of his travels. The actual mechanism, or how he conceived of its creation was never explained.
