Well, I remember you mentioning way back when that Jerry Verschoor said that he had a PAL tape of the workprint. I think you concluded that it's the same one we all know, but I realized, it's probably first-generation off the master tape, and it'd be great to have an actual PAL tape of the workprint (instead of a PAL AVI or an NTSC tape).

EDIT: Yes, you did say that, back in March:

He saved a VHS copy of the workprint direct from the U-matic, but he did so three months before the studio closed - which means it's the normal workprint that we all have. I had hoped that he had managed to get the fabled "second and final workprint," which no one seems to have bootlegged.

His copy would presumably be in PAL and high quality, and thus very desirable...

Even though there isn't going to be a Mark III, I think a complete, first-gen PAL copy of the workprint would be a great thing to have. It'd certainly be a big help to Patrick (Og) and *his* projects (Google Video version of the workprint, and his "enhanced" workprint edit)...and I, for one, would love to see a better, non-AVI version of the workprint, period.

And who knows, maybe it's a copy without that nasty long audio dropout in the middle...
