If someone will send me one of these, I have a couple burners and tons of blanks at my disposal.
I would be happy to make copies for anyone who would send one or two dollars to cover the cost
of shipping and a blank DVD––as long as I wasn't overwhelmed by too many requests.
Time, labor, and wear & tear is on me. No need to profit. Thanks for putting this together!
Anyone?

If you get one Hardman, I'm in for a few, and I'll hand some out to some appreciative select players in El Portal next time I'm home...
And I'll GLADLY overcompensate you.

I'd like to get in on this and will burn and send for cost, or free if there's just a few.

I would really like to receive a copy of this dvd, so will you please make it available to someone like hardman that is willing to burn more copies for the disc and shipping costs. Please oh please, hardman make me a copy if you are able to get a copy yourself.

I have just sent e-mail to the Dogfather requesting a DVD.
If I get one from him (or someone else), I can make copies for anyone who wants one.
Ideally I could give copies to people in the Bay Area; no mailing would be necessary.

Hardman-Knott and hardman have both kindly offered to make copies for others after I send them one. Therefore, for those I did not respond to, wait a week or so until the "hardmen" get their copies and you can then make arrangements with one of them for a copy. They can then let you know whether they are even worth watching!
I have a dozen burnt, packaged and ready to mail. Feel like I am running a small business mail room! Waiting for mailing addresses from two I promised a copy. I will mail tomorrow.
So, this thread should now die.
Also, for anyone who decides to do something like this, it gets very confusing who you are dealing with since people email you with different names and email address than they use on ST. To avoid confusion whenever you contact another ST member, especially if you don't use the same email account you list in ST, put your forum name in your email. I really did not think that Rajmit would appreciate these videos but he could have been one of the requesters using his real information and I couldn't have told the difference.

LOL!
Best laugh I've had in a while actually...
Thanks much for putting this together for all of us!
I really look forward to seeing it.

Well, I was over a Jim Opdyke's place tonight up here in PDX. Jim is sort of our "Old Man Beacon" and it also turns out he's video fanatic with his living room walls lined with VHS boxes. I knew that, but until I mentioned thedogfather's DVD what I didn't know was he has boxes of climbing tapes and recordings. Now a lot of these look to be early commercial climbing videos, but he also has lots of shorter clips he recorded off cable over years. Apparently lots of them are of you guys. I was only there for a few minutes but I saw clips of Bachar/Werner on the Monkey, Croft soloing Middle Cathedral, Oxx/Wald/Fowler/Bongard doing the Shield clean go by.
I'm assuming you guys have all these videos covered, but he appears to have dozens and dozens of these things. I've asked him to catalog all these clips and when he does I'll post it up and you folks can take a look and see if there's anything on there you don't have.

This DVD is 2.15 GB, which is probably too big for any free hosting service.
If I didn't have a 10 GB monthly limit on my web-server, I would simply upload it there.
I like the Bit Torrent idea, but I personally don't have access to a 24/7 broadband connection.
However, it's possible that I could recruit someone to let me seed it from their connection.
Larry -- could you recommend a suitable tracker in the odd-chance I could make this happen?
Personally I think if there was a way to torrent this without having to use a tracker,
it would go a lot faster, since the leecher/seeder ratio wouldn't be so high.
I know that Azureus allows tracker-less connections; I'm wondering if one could just
e-mail the torrent-file for people to open in their Bit Torrent clients––rather than the
usual method of downloading the torrent-file from a tracker (where thousands would then
be trying to leech from the single seeder at once, thereby greatly slowing the upload)

HK, you seem to have a greater understanding of this than I do. All I've ever done is download from bittorrent. I do have a 24/7 DSL line though.

my laptop does both cd and dvd burning, does this video need to be burned on DVDR? or can you simply put it on CDR?
i don't have any dvdR at the moment so i'm wondering if i need to run and get some?

Since a CD only holds around 700mb, and the DVD is 2.15gig, then I'd imagine so...

What Brian said...
hardman - You can get Memorex 16 X DVD blanks this week for $14.95 for 50 pack.
I forget which place it was, either Comp USA, Best Buy, or Office Depot.
Also, in case you missed it, check out this post I made about making the most
set-top player-compatible DVD's possible. Also, the best price I found for padded
envelopes (the same that Dogfather used) is $5.25 for 10 pack at Office Max.
Also, let me know if you want me to e-mail you the Word .doc of the paper that
was included with the DVD––then you can simply print them out to include in the package.

I got my copy today, and it's incredible.
I wish we could get more videos from the past.
