Lastly, I am currently working off RFC's 4601 and 3973, but these RFC's

The PIM dissector gives the following link as a source of information
for PIMv1; however, the link no longer works:
http://www.mbone.de/training/Module3.pdf.  Does anyone have information
on PIMv1?  It looks to be very similar to PIMv2 except implemented under
IGMP; however none of the IGMP RFC's describe it.  As indicated by
http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/software/junos/junos72/swconfig72-multic
ast/download/pim-intro.pdf, "In fact, no current RFC describes PIMv1 at
all: The drafts have all expired, and PIMv1 was never issued as an
official RFC."

A bunch of Googling found

        http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-idmr-pim-spec-02

and

        http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-idmr-pim-dm-spec-03

which appears to be at least part of the spec for PIMv1.  I've updated the dissector.
