INSTRUCTIONS: If you find something on this list that you would like to
see, Choose one of the volunteers off the list appearing at the end of
this message and send them a private e-mail including:
The volunteer will reply to your message with further instructions.
NOTE: Some of these videos may be unsuitable for younger viewers, please
consider this when you make your request and choose your viewing options
wisely. The volunteers reserve the right to refuse to make copies.
A note about quality and formats: While most of the programs described are good
quality and make good copies, some of them are of lesser quality and
appear to be grainy to some degree or another. This is partially due to
them being copies of copies. Particularly affected are the programs that
have had to be converted from the PALS format used in some parts of the
world. The American video standard (NTSC) is inferior (less lines of
resloution) to the European standard (PALS) and so we lose a little extra
resolution when we have to have the tapes converted between standard
formats. We are in the process of upgrading the quality of existing
copies of some of these items. This will take some time.

This is a list of people who have
volunteered to dub tapes for others. Please remember that these people
are VOLUNTEERS and at times real life concerns may interfere with their
ability to provide this service, there are only so many hours in the day.
Please be willing to be patient with us as we will get behind from time
to time. Reimbursement of some sort is expected but will not exceed the
cost of the blank tapes and postage or replacement of the blank tapes.
The list of volunteers contains people who can dub all the items on the
list and those who only have episodes of H:tLJ available to dub. If you
only want episodes of Hercules please ask one of the volunteers who only
have these available first so the other volunteers will be free to dub
the other Michael videos.
If any one volunteer gets more requests than they can handle the other
volunteers will take up the extra, so do not be surprised if you request
from one volunteer and hear back from another. Also, if the volunteer you
have chosen doesn't have a particular video, your request will be
referred to a volunteer to does and they will contact you about it.
If you live outside North America, there is also a list of volunteers in
other parts of the world available to dub things. Please check to see if
there is one in your part of the globe and send them a private message
inquiring about what they have to offer. If you must have PALS copies
and cannot find a volunteer, e-mail Ceryndip as she has the ability to
make and convert between the formats or she will find someone to do it
for you. (ceryndip@juno.com)
