Hi Gary,

It's me who made this DVD. I made it several months ago.
As I may have mentioned before, it is based on the second generation
copy. So, I think your tape is cleaner.
I provided it just as a substitute until your work is done. I did not
mean to take your job away from you!

Don't ask me technical questions. I can only say I used iDVD.

My version is on stereo. There are some visual noises on video though
it is still enjoyable.

It is hard to upload the video. You can see small still images of the
video in my web site.

Well, I will send my version to you to judge which is better.
Please, contact me off list.
