I'm inclined to say "yes, it would be a hell of a lot of work."

Making Magic was a fairly small amount of data on a CD. It doesn't take you long to play through it and see everything on the disc. Behind The Magic, however, is huge. Not only is it 2 CDs, but they are crammed full of hundreds of stills, text pieces, and bits of multimedia. It takes a a day or two at least just to look at it all. Taking that into consideration, one can only imagine how much time it would take to actually convert every last bit of it to a DVD. Plus, the multimedia stuff is in a strange proprietary format that I was never able to do much with.

Not that I want to discourage anyone from attempting such a project. My hat is off to anyone who feels they can tackle it.
