<VV> Corvair Video to DVD Project

[Bill Hubbell]

Hello Folks.  Having recently added Video to Digital hardware and a DVD
burner to my computer system, I am now in the process of converting some of
my old taped videos to digital.  I have just completed the conversion
process for several of Tidewater Corvair Club's copies of many of the
historic Corvair movies, dealer promos, and advertisements.  Unfortunately,
the quality of our videos were not very good to begin with, and time has
taken its toll as well, resulting in very poor colors and contrasts.  Thus,
I am interested in buying or borrowing high quality historic Corvair Videos
for the project.  Once I have captured the videos digitally, I will be able
to burn DVDs without any loss in quality, and the images and sounds will be
protected from further degradation.  I am willing to pay a fair price for
borrowing or buying the videos, and once it is completed I will attempt to
make the DVDs available at no charge to CORSA chapters.

At present, my digitized collection includes the following features:

>From Here to There (fair VHS quality)
Daring the Darrien (Fair VHS quality)
The Corvair in Action - 1960 (Excellent digital quality)
The Case of the Methodical Men (Fair VHS Quality)
1963 Corvair Performance (Fair VHS Quality)
AGL  (Poor Video, Fair Sound)
Corvair "Yummy" Showroom Ad (Poor B&W video, Sound Good)
Michael Landon Spyder Convertible Ad (Poor red video, Sound OK)
Corvair Gymkhana "Swell" (Poor red video, Sound OK)
Everglades NP Video (B&W Video OK, No sound)
Corvair Collision Tests at GM Proving Grounds (Fair B&W video, no sound)
CORSA Promo with Girl in Black dress (Fair video, good sound)
Chevrolet "Hide &Seek" Ad (fair Red video, fair sound)
1963 Chevrolet "One Stop Shopping" ad (fair B&W video, fair sound w/hiss)
1962 Corvair and FC ads (fair B&W video, sound OK)

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
