All cleanup work that can be done has been finished in virtualdub and now I'm starting to sync the French and Spanish audio tracks. But, this is where I am running into a slight problem. The Spanish track is only missing a few seconds that can be patched but the French track is missing entire segments due to the edited nature of the original broadcast. Should I patch the missing parts with the English audio or should I leave the audio track empty in those parts?

Wow, you work fast!

Difficult call. I would say just put in the English track. Better that than nothing. Perhaps someone motivated enough will do a French edit using your file and splicing out the English language parts. 

Oh yes - I forgot about the French edit being shorter!  I'm thinking the English audio would be better than dead silence, but yeah...an actual French edit would be the ideal method of showcasing that soundtrack.

Tasjo, you say the Spanish track is missing a few seconds...is it actually because the edit was different as well, or was it just an incomplete audio recording?

As for version 2 of WHIO, I will be doing the first transfer using the 1980 this week. I will also try running one of my WMAR tapes trough it to see if I can get decent quality copies of the commercials.

Hoping to get this out by Life Day, Tasjo?

If all goes well, we may have more than one Holiday Special-related surprise by Life Day...

Whhhhhaaat?!

Well, there's one or two other HS projects that I'm hoping will materialize by the 17th.  More news on that as it becomes available...
