Like D218.suu, this upgrade restores the original PAL format that was inadvertently changed to NTSC on D218.su, corrects the the audio static problem with the original audio upgrade source, and corrects the most egregious coloration problems associated with D218.
Sound upgraded w/excellent audio, LB-4607 (w/'fixed' Simple Twist'); this audio judged to be "fuller" than the next best source.
LB-4607>Toast Titanium 8>disk images>Sound Studio 3>wav>iMovie 6.03.
D218>MPEGStreamclip 1.9.1>dv>iMovie 6.0.3>iDVD 7.0.2>VIDEO_TS folder>bittorrent>you.
Video overexposed for reds and purples on many songs; longer stretches were edited to reduce vivid color and brightness.
Audio may have been slightly cut between some songs by audio editor thus necessitating occasional insertion of brief stills for a/v sync.
Cameraman used coloration and other effects on "Love Minus Zero" and "Tangled Up In Blue"  as noted/editor could not fix these.

Thanks to Jim50 for the helpful review at DVDylan.
