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 shakey at times but not too bad. A 50-200mm lens was used for some great closeups. 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) 1 min 24 secs had been cut from the dead space between Big River and Stagger Lee on the cd - I used the video audience soundtrack to fill in.
2) 3 seconds into Help on the Way, there was a 6 sec gap on the video. I filled in using the last frame before the gap that transitioned into the first frame after the gap with no cut in the music.
3) 32 sec gap during space (possible tape flip) was filled in using the video audience soundtrack.
