The only negative quality issues to take note of are slightly muddy sound and slight pixellation in the dark areas of the screen.  In my opinion, this is likely more due to the Foundry's huge, gymnasium-style setup and somewhat poor lighting than to the quality of the camera, media, or transfer.  Additionally, the camera was of the bottom-loading variety, requiring it to be removed from the tripod during tape changes.  This led to a shortened recording of "Give Up the Grape" on DVD1, as well as a period of camera instability immediately after the tape change while remounting to the tripod.
