I've already received a few requests for the higher quality files, but now the
requirement is just 1 x DVD-R and 1 x CD-R. Contents as follows:

DVD-R
==========1,159,658 kb  Home Computer Minefield, The (Acorn) (VHS) [MPEG2].mpg
1,758,786 kb  Micro News (BBC-Acorn) (VHS) [Part 1 - Using Archimedes]
[MPEG2].mpg
1,670,688 kb  Micro News (BBC-Acorn) (VHS) [Part 2 - Archimedes A
Technical
Introduction] [MPEG2].mpg

CD-R
==========  126,540 kb  A3000 - The Learning Curve (Acorn) (VHS) [MPEG2].mpg
      190 kb  A3000 - The Learning Curve (Acorn) (VHS) [video-spine].jpg
      967 kb  A3000 - The Learning Curve (Acorn) (VHS) [video-top].jpg
    1,261 kb  A3000 - The Learning Curve (Acorn) (VHS) [cover].jpg
      266 kb  Home Computer Minefield, The (Acorn) (VHS)

      434 kb  Home Computer Minefield, The (Acorn) (VHS) [box-spine].jpg
      194 kb  Home Computer Minefield, The (Acorn) (VHS) [box-top].jpg
      132 kb  Micro News (BBC-Acorn) (VHS) [video-spine].jpg
    1,449 kb  Micro News (BBC-Acorn) (VHS) [video-top].jpg
    3,229 kb  Micro News (BBC-Acorn) (VHS) [cover].jpg

As you'll see, I've managed to squeeze the 3 x big files onto exactly one
DVD-R (4.36Gb), which I achieved by trimming a few empty frames off the
"Minefield" video (so in other words, I have *not* compressed them in any
way).

Oh, and if you can't be bothered sending an SAE and blanks, stick two quid in
my Paypal account <dllm@...> and I'll take care of the rest.

I can also do "proper" DVDs (that'll work in a standard DVD player) if anyone
wants them, one title per DVD (3 discs in total).
