Happy Birthday to the IBM PC (and MTV)

  About 4 hours start to finish, because I found a bug in my software and it was faster to rework the video around the bug rather than fix it. I started with the PAL version of the video but fell back to the NTSC version (detelecined to 23.976fps) and redoing everything as a result.
  
  On the upside, my Core i7 can transcode video at about 4fps, a 4x speedup from the machine I used to encode it on.
