So I've got my hq recording now. It's actually better quality than everything I've found on youtube by now. But still far from perfect.
First of all, it's mono, because obviously stereo broadcasting wasn't introduced at the ZDF before September 1981, so bad luck there. But despite of being mono it's still very good sound quality. The demuxed audio track is an mp3 @ 192kbps.
The picture quality is still far from perfect. The end titles say it's from 1994, so I'm not sure if the lousy picture quality is due to the digitalisation process that was applied to the material in 1994, or if the original recording quality was really so low. I'm guessing that the low quality is the reason why the show is not available on 3Sat's website (at the "mediathek").
Of course I'm happy to share my preciousssss with the members of this hallowed cyber hall.
