More notes: There are a few short places where there is no video (blocked by people walking to their seats). There was some microphone handling noise in the audio that was smoothed out manually. There were also a few spots where the audio/video synch was off a lot and now the synch on all of it is acceptable to my eyes and ears. It can be rather difficult to fix multi-camera synch problems when the problem is not uniform throughout the recording). One more issue with this show was that there were about a 100 single frames spread out over the DVD that had stray pixel digital artifacts. These were easy to repair by copying the adjacent frame, though hard to spot without watching it all very closely.
