looking for TVAM video
Anybody know where you can get a copy of the video made by TVAM after GW1 - featuring some serious low level and beautifully accompanied by Phil Collins and White Snake. It inspired a generation of RAF aircrew. The closest I have got to seeing it again is a very old videotape - worn out from excessive playing.

Re: looking for TVAM video
Tis true, I do indeed have a copy of said video. I was trying to get it onto DVD but had no end of problems with it - gave up in the end. I'll have another go at copying it.
SS. Tried sending you a PM but your limit has topped out.

Stopstart....
If you can find someone with a relatively modern tv tuner you should be able to do it. Anyone who has a new fangled "media centre" style pc, or a tv tuner with a record function can record the video to an avi file on your hard disk at acceptable quality (bearing in mind it's coming from an analogue tape which will be (relatively) low quality...
Just plug a vhs set (unless u went betamax
) into the aerial socket of the tuner card and hit record on your pc, then play on the video, et voila...
Then find yourself some basic dvd authoring software (quite often comes with video cameras if you know someone with one) and create the magic dvd! Then add me to the distribution list.... better yet, if you find a hosting page, upload it and pm the link to those who want it

Hi,
Have managed to copy it to DVD, PM me if you would like a copy and I am sure as long as the numbers don't run into hundreds then we can sort something out.
Cheers

Re: looking for TVAM video
Not bothered with cash for the dvd although you may wish to donate something to a worthwhile cause.
There have been a lot of requests so it may take a few days.
Just send a stamped adressed envelope containing a blank DVD-R disc to the address given to you when you PM me and I will copy and post out ASAP.
Wouldn't have the faintest idea how to put it onto the web as I dont use anything like bearshare etc.
Hopefully the above will mean that most of you can obtain a copy at no cost to myself.
There have been about 20 requests so far but I am happy to keep going as long as pos, after all its a great dvd.
Cheers
Pete

The TV AM documentary does have the Whitesnake and Phil Collins songs on it but also interviews and outtakes of interviews with some of the personnel stationed in Bahrain at the time.
Its too big to be hosted on any site.

I have a copy of the complete video in Divx AVI format. It's about 190 Mb total size and is a first generation copy from the VHS. If anyone can advise how this can be best distributed then I would be happy to do this. Obviously it would be significantly easier if this could by electronic means. The size of the file probably precludes an attachment to an email.
I wait for your suggestions.

Join shareaza (ensure you have an antivirus and firewall though!). this is a file sharing portale much like Kazza. Shareaza uses both edonkey2000 and Gnutella networks.
Just follow the instructions once u have downloaded the browser and stick the large file into your shared folder. Leave your PC on and connected overnight and it will be shared onto other users shared files etc and populate the network. Once its on many peoples PC's it will donwload faster due to better distribution!!

I have put it available for download using Limewire. A similar file share engine to the myriad of others. The file name you should search for is:
GWPA TVAM 190814KB.avi
I will leave it uploading for as long as possible but the more people who DL and reshare the quicker it will be able to spread amongst those who want it.
I leave it up to the individuals as to whether or not they feel they wish to honour the pledges made to the Benevolent Fund when this was first mooted.
If so:

dunc, having limewire searched I've found a reasonable number of files with the name you gave, however, all of them are well below one meg.... there is one that seems to have many copies that's an exe, so I'm suspicious... any thoughts anyone?
Duncan needs to specify what file size his zipped version of the movie is. Once you know that, download only the file that has a corresponding file size.
As a word of warning, I would advise having an anti-virus programme and a pop-up blocking browser plug-in running when opening files downloaded using Limewire. The obvious fakes all end with .zip or .exe - avoid these at all costs.

just make sure you're after a file thats about 190 megs! don't download anything thats a few hundred kb in size, and especially not an exe.... when i manage to get hold of it, I will leave my limewire connected for most of the rest of the week, hosting it... will post as soon as I have a copy
