I believe in todays world, soundtracks also have a transcript done in black and white to avoid such problems later on in production...Was there ever a transcript made of the seminar?
A transcription of something like this is normally not done; it usually happens with productions which go to air. This is called closed captioning and can be turned on or off on modern TVs.

A modern voiceover would turn it into a bizarre farce, sort of like watching Happy Days in Italian (believe me, I've seen it).

The best outcome would be for the audio to be at least intelligible, notwithstanding the chap talking over it.

Next best option is just a transcription.
