do the words against the law mean anything to anyone around here. depending
on where you are located, copyrighted telecasts are not permitted to be
bought and sold from what i have seen. or maybe thats just the way it is in
the US with the MPAA crawling up everyone's shorts.

on the other hand, not that 'against the law' ever stopped me from dl'ing
copyrighted material before, how much would you want for it ?
i only ask because i am without OLN here in the states and probably will
have to deal with the 1 hour/week BS.

How did they turn out?

You have to be smarter than a robot to reply.

Please respond to if you are interested. In actual
fact the cost of the tapes is minimal and shipping will be the major price
element I think

Where did he say anything about telecast?
I thought he had his own moto and home camera ;-)

Wouldn't folks rather have it on DVD than videotape? Shipping would be
much less, the quality much better, etc.

How many people have DVD burners these days? How much time will 2/3 GB
(typical CD) hold in MPEG-2 @ 480i?

I have a DVD burner.

A SVCD will hold 44-60 mins though an hour is really pushing it. The
last time I tried, I could not get cycling footage to look smooth even
at 44 mins/CD. But that was with a different MPEG2 encoder. I found
that cycling has more motion than regular TV/movies and results in
more artifacts. With the encoder I'm currently using, it might be
possible to get 44 mins/disc w/o artifacts but ever since I got the
DVD burner, there's no point.

I figure 2 stages will fit on a DVD.
