Owen/Nick Who produced the video in the first place, and are there any copyright issues to consider ?
Are GFA interested in obtaining a relatively "fresh" copy (I'd say a 3-times played one qualifies !) and getting a copy from that which could be used as a master (maybe capture straight to DV tape and then onto DVD to try and minimise generation losses ?) If Ian McPhee believes it was shot on film stock (quite likely if it was done pre the personal video camera revolution), then maybe the film masters are still held by someone who can be tracked down by this list or the GFA ? If so, hopefully they are in good condition if properly stored. There are companies that can take film and go straight to mini DV tape or DVD, e.g. www.yesvideo.com.au There is usually a setup cost plus a per-reel or per- foot charge to convert the film to digital format. It is not cheap, but may be one way of preserving this piece of Australian gliding history for future generations, and ensuring that GFA can continue copying it from a stable non- degrading digital master. Just looking for a way to preserve this movie if at all possible.
