Upscaled DAPHNE Merbeth, Lipovsek, Botha, Schade, Fink - Bychkov - Vienna VI04

Although this was filmed in 16:9, ORF back in 2004 only broadcast in 4:3 in low definition. I recorded it on a DVD recorder at the time and now cropped the black bars, turning it into proper 16:9, and upscaled it to HD, using Topaz AI video enhancer.

Not sure about the exact date of filming (it was a delayed broadcast), but it must have been either 17, 22 or 26 June 2004.
