I would have titled this post 'does anyone have a DVD recorder?' but that might imply I'm looking for someone with a DVD writer in their PC.

Please could someone record Blood on our Hands for me.
Channel 4
Thursday 10th February
Time: 21:00 to 23:10
Duration: 2 hours and 10 minutes.

It should feature my son Finn as Baby Ned one of the main characters as a child in a flashback sequence. I may be in it too - but just as a musketeer in the background of a 'hair cutting' scene.

I'll be taping it onto VHS but it would be great if someone could record it onto DVD.

Cheers,

Wake

AAAARRRGGH!
In a fit of doubledumbassness I decided to delete my current version of Kazza an get version 3.
STOOPIDLY I deleted my original version and when I try and download the newer version it says "an error has be encountered" just as it starts to download the new software. Anybody got any ideas???
I wouldn't bother the board with this but I don't hang round any Techie boards!
Or maybe theres a better place to get my dirty fix of downloaded "free" music?
HELP!

Finlay with Susannah Harker.

I can ask my brother if I can get in touch with him.  No promises yet, I'll let you know.

Awwww COOL!
God he's got big! Remember when you posted pic's of him when your other Mini-Wake was born, waht over a year ago?
Don't have access to a home DVD recorder BUT my bro in law can transfer from VHS to DVD if yer REALLY stuck.
Let me know.

If the programme is something with 'cult' appeal, it might show up on the bittorrent websites, because - God knows - everything else does, especially British programmes.  Presumeably, it's the only way that many Americans will ever see them.

I'll be surprised if it doesn't turn up on usenet a couple of days after transmission in alt.binaries.documentaries and/or alt.binaries.multimedia

I'll keep an eye out.

sorry, not sure if there was a positive response from this thread but sure, no problem.  Will record it anyway.  Let me know if you still want it and I'll get it in the post.

Your's has been the most positive response so far so yes please. I can PayPal you to cover shipping and the disc.

Cheers,

Wake

Well, I'd just phoned my brother to check before I cam back online.  I didn't want to say yes and have it go wrong.  

But feel free to count me as plan B.  My brother has programmed the sky plus, I'll tell him to hold off on the disk burning for the moment.

So long as they haven't cut out Finn's flashback scene then I'll be more than happy if I end up getting two copies.

Cheers,

Wake

Wake.  I can get the in-laws to do it (if you don't mind ending up with 3 copies!).

Let me know and I'll call them.

What is the likely cost per copy?

Is there likely to be any difference in quality between different copies?

Cheers,

Wake

Not sure of cost, but I can get it taped on highest quality.  I wouldn't worry about the cost though, you can owe me one.

Recorded onto dvd and posted isn't more than a quid Wake, you cheapskate.

For a quid each I'm more than happy with three copies. For all I knew, DVD blank media is several pounds.

Cheers,

Wake

All it will cost me is a favour from the in-laws and I'll post it from work.  I've asked them to tape it, so you've got atleast one copy.  The re-recordable media is a couple of quid, but the other stuff is quite reasonable.

How did you get Laddo in to this then?  (and doesn't he look great!!)

One of the researchers spotted him at a Sealed Knot event last year at Taunton. She took some photos then and must have decided she definitely wanted him for the part since we had several phone calls from her on our answerphone when we got back from holiday.

Cheers,

Wake

My brother did tape this, he just has to burn it onto a DVD.

Paul - I'm putting a copy in the post this morning, but I'd love to know how (if I'm reading you correctly) your brother is ripping from Sky+ (which is a fatastic piece of kit) to DVD.  What is his set up?  This would be really useful for me...

Cheers,
WoD.

A micture of jiggery pokery, gobbledegook and mumbo jumbo as far as I can tell, but I'll ask him for some sort of explanation.

Thanks Paul...if you want to ask the wizzard of technology that is your brother to put it in an email then I will sacrifice a small animal in both your names...

had a quick google paul and I'm guessing that your Brother is capturing the analogue signal on his PC via some capture card as he would if he was going to capture it on video (i.e. just replace the video recorder with the PC and capture card).  It sounds like Sky use a propriatary system for recording on their internal hard drive which is not compatible with PCs (although I found a 'rumour' about some PC freeware which can convert this signal - but I couldn't find the software itself).

WoD.
