I have rips of the full BRs, the native stream is .ts, but would be easy to convert to .avi for editing. If you don't want to go through the trouble of ripping yourself, I can send you the files. If you do rip yourself, you'll need a program called "AnyDVD HD" which strips away the various protection schemes on the BR.

I think an official donation is in order here. So how much do you think you'll need Harmy? For a new computer that will allow you to work in lossless form and not be constrained or forced to make compromises...

I think we can easily raise $1,000 for you... it's really the least we could do. I'm in for $100, as Stinky said, these films are worth more to me than that.
