Originally posted by: ComradeJonns...so every small 40 minute documentary took a whole 4 gigabytes of a DVD+R disc, which is insane. Does anyone know if they're still online, and ideally in a normal-sized version (all three as one DVD or even better as DIVX or XVID encoded videos) ?
The 'preservation' part of these forums means that more often than not the creators of these discs (In the case of Indy, DFNYC) don't compress the hell out of the footage - none of the source files are pin sharp, so you would probably notice the difference.
Don't get me wrong, living in the Uk with a throttle P2P connection means these discs can take a long time to download, but I feel it is worth it to add such a good copy to our 'archive'.
