Here are the links:

Due to the technical nature of how color is encoded in PAL vs. NTSC, as well as differences in how the respective telerecordings for each format are created, Richard Russell's astounding program will not work with NTSC material. In order to develop a similar process for NTSC, it would be necessary (at a minimum) to re-create the original color burst signal of the kinescoped program, which is not feasible at this point in time.
