We have in years past pourchased a number of NCB films that I used to
use in class. With time I stopped, but recently had a number of them
transferred to digital video, and am now re-using snippets.
Unfortunately it is in the US format, though I have moved some of the
films into Quicktime files that are (I believe) universally computer
accessible and I have saved these as DVD's but to the US format. I
would be glad to make our files available and to provide the conversion
service for as far as I can along the conversion chain. (Unfortunately
being in the States I cannot produce the UK compatible video).
