DVD AUTHOR’S NOTES:
1. This item incorporates footage from D886.vcd, which is incomplete and only includes the
first ten songs. For the other songs see D243.msu.
2. Regarding D243.m/MS-106: The source used for this upgrade was widescreen 16:9 aspect
ratio. The original tape source may have been 4:3 aspect ratio, but this project kept
the 16:9 widescreen.
3. Regarding D886.vcd: The source used for this upgrade was standard 4:3 aspect ratio. It
was converted to widescreen 16:9 to match the other source. This resulted in some
degradation of the image.
