Huh… the archive link has no information on the video page - and the actual youtube video does not work (playback error).
Is there any more information you have to add or go on?

EDITED INTO MAIN POST
Judging from the length, I’d guess it’s one of the hybrid discs that a few people put together a few years ago. Zion did one, Gormaanda did another, someone else did a third. Each one was trying to find the best combination of stunning video quality for the program joined as gracefully as possible with the WMAR commercials.
The WMAR transfer itself is only 1:56:46.
