I am going to digitally capture this video and offer it in possibly two sizes, one for broadband and one for dial-up users. I have access to digital video capture equipment and a digital CBC feed, and as you know, the quality vs. tapes does not degrade. The larger MPEG capture will be able to be transferred to DVD, in S-Video quality, with or without commercials. I do this all the time for different TV "taping" projects...
Je suis niveau 12 en traduction francaise, but will offer help if requested, closer to the show date. I see that many of our fellow Canadian posters have a decent grasp of the language. Excellent.
Simon, you can respond to this thread too if you are interested in hosting one or both of these digital feeds here as you have done before, as you wish.
BTW, although many here in Canada pooh-pooh the CBC as regards a waste of taxpayers' money, they have proven themselves above average in sports/hockey/Olympic coverage and documentaries. Along those lines, they are comparable to the BBC. I am confident that our American neighbors will be pleased with the quality Trust me, we don't have a lot of good exportable product (unless you count our women....)
We seem to have a large Canadian contingent on this board, so I'm sure we'll well receive this with anticipation...
