This is a much improved version of the DVD already existing. Back then I had to rush things and I wasn't terribly familar with DVD production. I thought the material is good enough to put more time into it (even though it is my first filming effort ever with a lot of beginner's mistakes). This DVD shows the following improvements over the first version:
- no deleted material between songs
- ditched my audio, added two real audio sources (with both tapers' permission)
- added subtitle track for full song lyrics, adapted from TDN
- stabilized shaky first two minutes of video
- better video encoding; video cropped to 4:3 (no information loss in 99% of the material since I was zooming out too much anyway)
- redone menu
The audio might not be synched perfectly and sure the subtitles aren't always. SNSik's audio source sounds quieter than Chester's but that wasn't me then.
