I actually was afraid of this (I did read your ;-) ).

As it turns out that was just a phone warm-up.  They also did a video
interview last week while I attended my 50th reunion (yes I realize that
makes me old and probably really explains why I missed print-to-file).
Rumor has it that, if they find anything worthwhile in my rambling, the
edited version will appear on youtube.

Because then you wouldn't have been able to plug your interview on the

Thanks.  Since I don't need the whole tree.  Just the print-to-pdf

If only single pages are of interest, I'd probably suggest PDF indeed
as it is universally viewable.

Try httrack which is a web site mirror and offline browsing software.

these are getting rare :-(, so I end up using the print to pdf feature
Dale mentions.
