Technical Notes

  1. Note from the UW-Stevens Point Digital Editor. The videos are digital conversions of the 1976 videotapes. Due to the deterioration of teh tapes over time and the limitations of the conversion process, som eof the video quality has suffered. Also, the continuity of longer sessions may be broken because it was necessary at the time to use more than one tape.
  2. Note from the Weisberg Archive Digital Editor. The videos from UW-Stevens Point were received in ten (10) DVDs each as a single NTSC movie. In order to make the videos easy to download, each DVD movie was split in smaller segments. Each segment was converted to an MPEG file (MPEG-2 SVCD - Super Video CD) format, preserving the video's original resolution (720x480), frame rate (29.97 frames), aspect ratio (4:3) and audio quality using Dolby Digital (AC-3), a Stereo channel with Sample Rate of 48000 HZ and Bitrate of 256 kbps.
