Media
Notes Audio: Unknown SBD downloaded from gdlive>SHN>MKWact>Cool Edit
Pro>Video

Note: After capturing the video, the audience soundtrack (from the
video) was exported and then loaded into Cool Edit Pro along with a
copy of the sbd audio. Then, an unique note at approximately 1 minute
intervals on the video soundtrack was found and matched to the same
note from the sbd. Some modification (ie stretching or shrinking) to
the length of these segment was required in order for the sbd to
flawlessly match the captured video. The original video audience
track was then muted and the sbd tracks imported as background music
prior to rendering the video file as either a vcd or svcd.

The video was captured at 480x480 resolution (SVCD) and 24bit RGBT
compression for a fairly clean picture. The camera was on a tripod, a
little shaky at times but not too bad. A 50-200mm lens was used for
some great close-ups. The SVCD format will play on most DVD players
otherwise the VCD will. The SVCD format also includes a song menu.
VCD format (352x240) was rendered from the svcd file and does not
have the song menu, but does have the imported sbd audio as part of
the file.

Flaws:
1) .265 seconds was missing from sbd at the beginning of We Can Run -
I used the video audience soundtrack to fill in.

2) 15.429 seconds was missing from sbd during the dead space between
Ramble and Masterpiece - I used the video audience soundtrack to fill
in.

3) 15.429 seconds was missing from sbd during the dead space between
Masterpiece and Bird Song - I used the video audience soundtrack to
fill in.

4) First 5.360 seconds of start of 2nd set was added from the video
to give a better lead in.

5) .293 seconds was missing from sbd at the beginning of Eyes Of The
World - I used the video audience soundtrack to fill in.

5) 6.135 seconds was missing from sbd at the beginning of Space - I
used the video audience soundtrack to fill in.

6) The entire encore was missing from video - placed stills from the
concert with the sbd audio as a background so that song would not be
entirely missing.
