Just let me know if something ended up wrong and I will update it.

If you get the audio captured, I can definitely edit it for you. In fact I
can edit video too without any major problem. Including make real video
files, quicktime or mpeg, or any other format. Got a smaller studio here at
home, and if that's not enough I can always use the studio at work. Just
make sure that the audio is uncompressed, high quality. There are limits to
how much it can be improved if the original quality is really low, but I can
definitely give it a good tuneup. 

A possibility, if you capture not only the extra content you talked about,
but the original tapes as, is to make a lesson DVD. It would make it
possible for students to do the classes in a comfortable place in the
livingroom/bedroom without the interference of the computer. 

Many ideas coming through me at the moment, maybe something resonates with
you. :)

It surely explains why I couldn't strip the audio from the audio only files
in the first place! There was no audio there LOL!!

You are more than welcome. :)
