It takes a while, so I usually do these overnight or while I am at work.
well, that worked incredibly easy when i set the source as the 2 VOB files rather than the folder containing them

using the iPhone earbuds (my headphones with 1/8" jack don't seem compatible with Apple, don't it figure) and viewing that Retina display screen is mindboggling quality...especially considering this came across the ocean electronically via some wee torrents file that in turn triggered 2 GB of data then traveled across a cord to the mobile device in less than a minute

...when you think of so many of us sourcing then making the multigenerational VHS tape copies and packaging and postage and WAITING time for a slew of Gord bootlegs and old tv performances, well, it's kneebuckling that we've come this far...newbies cannot appreciate it, i suppose, but many will know what i mean

thanks for the Handshake tip 2silent2breal and doug

btw, cheap fun = plug in guitar to iPhone using iRig then launch Amplitude
