If I proceed with the present scheme there will be one episode on a data
CD-r. This is easily copied using any CD burning software (Roxio, Nero,
Clone etc
which almost every pc has).

(The disc will play using Windows Media player worth getting the latest
version free download from Microsoft, with some pcs it may be better to copy
the file to hard drive first).

Makes it simple to copy, use and distribute.

Send me your address to terran@supanet.com if you want a copy.

Bill.

and of course would be happy to do a copy, but let me clarify the format of
the video files, so that I can check my source of copying has the right
software to copy. Many thanks.
