Has anyone tried to buy a video or DVD from Discovery Channel

I recall someoen saying TDC said they don't own the show and so won't make videos for resale

you'd have to ask the FirstTV people

Yep, I'm the person that called the Discovery Channel. The very nice saleslady said that The Discovery Channel didn't own marketing rights to the 3 rocketry episodes and that the independent production companies that made most of the shows for them usually didn't have much interest in marketing VHS or DVSs. Sucks, I hope that someone with a high quality recording system taped the shows and will sell copies to us.

I have the show on my computer but the file is over a gig in size?

A DVD is 4.7 gig

I had a friend fo direct from satellite to Tivo to DVD-R for me. Made one copy in 2 hour mode on 2 disks, another in 4 hour mode all on 1 disk. Really can't tell the difference.

Sombody put it on the net some time ago in VCD (mpeg1) format. SVCD would have been better.

use dvd2vcd to make cd-roms of that big file

I have been able to devide it into 3 cd size files in vcd quaility.
