This is a modification from another torrent containing the same work, but preceded by some extraneous conversation and discussion which I instantly (as in within the period of a day or two) removed so that one can just go directly to the performance.

Removing the discussion from the original file, also in AVI format, involved quite a struggle (most of which I have documented on YouTube believe it or not). However, in the end the struggle was worth it because after constructing an MP3 version of the original without the lead-in, I was left with a video of just the right length and with ONE PRECIOUS KEY FRAME that allowed me to multiplex back-in the original AC-3 Dolby audio stream (which is the default stream for the AVI included here).

Also included are two 20x20 Avi files, one containing an MP3 version of the audio (at 320 Kbps Constant), and the other containing a copy of the AC-3 Dolby audio from the main Avi.

As well, the original Avi, even though at an extremely high bitrate, was not high quality. In fact it hardly qualified for playback on a home computer (apparently the proud result of some DivX Home Theater utility). The close in shots are quite good though and fascinating to watch, but the overall quality certainly doesn't justify a 1 Gig download. So I re-encoded it and dimmed the lighting slightly to hide most of its image defects.

So here, at about half the file size, is a "visually pain-free" Avi without any leading discussion and with the full quality audio that the original *did* have (DivX got that part right).

Here are the main Avi details.
