Remastering Old VHS Footage for DVD - Part 2 of 2

I made this segment for a DVD I was producing: Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Mikado: Understudy Performance", put on by the understudy cast of the Cambridge Performing Arts Center (Cambridge, Ohio). The original VHS tape was recorded by some cheap consumer camcorder way back in 1993, and it was just screaming, "Reamaster me! Remaster me, please!!"

I can't call this a bona-fide tutorial since I would have gone into a lot greater detail if I thought it would be used to instruct others to exactly replicate the steps I took. However, I did intend it to be educational and informative, introducing basic digital media software concepts to the novice or layman.

Video Created on February 19, 2009.
Original VHS Tape Recorded on March 31, 1993.

Thank you for the example of what can be achieved with remastering software (building up to finally edit, remaster and save my old home movies from vhs-c).

This is a very good job of remastering of this video. I can not wait to try this on my old vhs tapes that i want to convert to DVD. Thank you!
