I'm new to the forum but when I first started climbing I taped some pretty good TV shows on climbing. I just found the long lost tape and have moved the following to DVD:
Henry Barber and Pete Livsey on Liberator in EB's and only hexes.
Henry Barber on-sight soloing Strand
Bachar training and soloing in Yosemite
Bachar training and soloing in JT - Leave it to Beaver
Kauk, Bev Johnson, and Braun attempting to free Nose (with swami belts)
Kurt Albert and Gullich on Rostrum and Separate Reality
You guys may already have copies of these shows but let me know if the participants might want to get their hands on some of these. I can only play the DVD I made on my TV. The format isn't recognized on any of my computers for some reason.

That sounds really cool. Can I get one two? By the way, what DVD discs are you using? There are several types and even more formats that you can put the video files into. Perhaps someone with more computer savy than myself could give you advice on that.

dogfather - Woah! I've seen all those at one time or another - pretty amazing archive - hard to get stuff. I'm guessing the Yosemite stuff with me is the "PM Magazine" or "Evening Magazine" TV show and the Leave it to Beaver stuff is either the "That's Incredible" or "Real People" TV show.
I had copies of that stuff once but I lost them all in a house fire two years ago. Reardon (and others) have tried to hunt down the originals but those companies have been bought and sold so many times since then, no one can find them in their archives anymore (although they do still evidently exist).
Wanna trade some shoes for a DVD? Pop me an email... Cheers , jb

You just need to hook your DVD player to a video capture and have some kind of DVD burning program to make DVDs or VCDs, or VCR tapes that will play on any DVD or VCR. Lots of them available.

For those doubting my computer savy, I write sports software for a living but, I don't deal with video stuff too often. I did the copy on my vcr/dvd combo machine since I don't have a video input card and don't plan on getting one. I will see if I can get it in a computer readable dvd format, if possible.
My plan is to find peoople that appreciate this type of thing, like the participants, and those of us that have lead trad before there were cams!! The competition between Henry and Pete Livsey on Liberator is one of the best descriptions of climbing competition I have ever heard. And the part of Al Harris totally gripped on Dream of White Horses is also a classic.
Bottom line, I will probably get about 10 copies made and sent out next week sometime.
ps: I also have a funny one of Ron Kauk on Old Man of Hoy and part of the Lost Arrow climb he did with Jerry Moffat. And I have a few shorts of Catherine Destivelle and Patrick Elinger. These are still on the tape.

Kauk and Moffatt on the Lost Arrow (abc or nbc sports) with John Long as commentator! I remember that stuff. Long - "Yes ladies and gentlemen, climbing that section is like trying to climb your garage door..." (or something like that).
Old Man of Hoy with Kauk - also a classic! Barber on-sight soloing that 5.10 on the sea cliffs (can't remember the route) - pretty cool. henry still shows that in his slide show.
If you start selling copies of this stuff, I bet the video archivists will find the originals real quick....cheers, jb

The old Man of Hoy in Scotland was for ABC wide world of sports as I remember. Hahaha They wanted Ron to climb some heidious new route on the prow of the thing. All the holds were breaking off and it was a death line. Kauk said no way jose and they were kind of pissed he didn't want to do it.
We ended up doing the regular route 5.9 or something. There's these weird birds called fulmurs or something, they look like sea gulls living on that pile.
Those phucking birds spit at you while your on the lead some oily green lugers. I had to duck a few times to escape getting nailed.
If you get that green oily sh_it on your climbing shoes made from leather, it disolves the leather. I lost one pair of shoes to those birds.

Wonder - Al Harris had just "written - spoken" a book before he passed. Or at least someone transcribed him telling his stories onto tape. I remember meeting the "biographer" in the Valley once. Did that book ever come out? I don't remember seeing it but it may still exist...
Harris had some of THE most outrageous stories I've ever heard to this day! I used to go shoplifting with him in the Valley - he was an absolute master at it. He'd always come out of the store with filet mignons, wine, cheese, the whole deal every time! (Hope my kid doesn't read this stuff...) Oops, jb

I remember the Barber thing. It was on "The American Sportsman".
It also had Al Harris totaly freaked out following Barber on Dream of White Horses. Perhaps he was faking but it was very funny " I'm soooo gripped!! ".

For those that I have commited to sending a DVD:
I have redone the DVD and it is now readable on a computer with a chapter for each of the videos listed below.
1. Henry Barber, Pete Livsey, Al Harris in England with EB's and no cams!!
2. Bachar soloing in Yosemite
3. Bachar Soloing in JT
4. Werner, Johnson and Kauk attempt to free the Nose
5. Part of Kauk and Moffet on Lost Arrow
6. Kauk and an English gal on Old Man of Hoy
7. Kurt Albert and Gullich in Yosemite
Most of the video is not great quality but the commentary on some is often hilarious. The "live" parts get somewhat boring but are still entertaining.

It's a DVD so that means about at least 2 to 4 gigabytes of data to download.
Now how's dialup people gona do that.
Rapidshare has pretty fast servers now, but you gotta wait an hour between downloads unless you have a paid account.
How fast is Bearshare.com? Is it any good for this idea?

Bittorrent is taylor made for distribution of large files from computers with limited bandwidth...essentially a "swarm" of people download from one another minimizing the load on the origional host as well as copyrite issues (since the transfer of information occurs on a private network wile the *.torren file distributed on webpages contains only information on how to join the swarm).
Azureus is probably the best Bittorrent client.
With good compresion figure 200-300 megs/hour as far as size goes. Mplayer/mencoder work okay for compressing video files, don't know about riping dvd's though.

I have gotten way too many requests to fill so I have been selective as I implied in the original posting. I am sending out about a dozen to those that were either in the videos, know the participants, are of my generation (OLD), live in Eldorado (my most visited climbing spot) or asked nicely. It takes about 15 minutes a copy so I figure over 3 hours is enough of my time. No fees involved. Watching on a computer instead of a big screen makes the quality appear much better. Would be interested in the recipients thoughts on some of this old stuff. The funniest part is the english translation of the Gullich piece.
If any of the recipients wish to make copies, that is up to them. They can then post again and setup their little cottage business.

Hardman-Knott and hardman have both kindly offered to make copies for others after I send them one. Therefore, for those I did not respond to, wait a week or so until the "hardmen" get their copies and you can then make arrangements with one of them for a copy. They can then let you know whether they are even worth watching!
I have a dozen burnt, packaged and ready to mail. Feel like I am running a small business mail room! Waiting for mailing addresses from two I promised a copy. I will mail tomorrow.
So, this thread should now die.
Also, for anyone who decides to do something like this, it gets very confusing who you are dealing with since people email you with different names and email address than they use on ST. To avoid confusion whenever you contact another ST member, especially if you don't use the same email account you list in ST, put your forum name in your email. I really did not think that Rajmit would appreciate these videos but he could have been one of the requesters using his real information and I couldn't have told the difference.

Well, I was over a Jim Opdyke's place tonight up here in PDX. Jim is sort of our "Old Man Beacon" and it also turns out he's video fanatic with his living room walls lined with VHS boxes. I knew that, but until I mentioned thedogfather's DVD what I didn't know was he has boxes of climbing tapes and recordings. Now a lot of these look to be early commercial climbing videos, but he also has lots of shorter clips he recorded off cable over years. Apparently lots of them are of you guys. I was only there for a few minutes but I saw clips of Bachar/Werner on the Monkey, Croft soloing Middle Cathedral, Oxx/Wald/Fowler/Bongard doing the Shield clean go by.
I'm assuming you guys have all these videos covered, but he appears to have dozens and dozens of these things. I've asked him to catalog all these clips and when he does I'll post it up and you folks can take a look and see if there's anything on there you don't have.

This DVD is 2.15 GB, which is probably too big for any free hosting service.
If I didn't have a 10 GB monthly limit on my web-server, I would simply upload it there.
I like the Bit Torrent idea, but I personally don't have access to a 24/7 broadband connection.
However, it's possible that I could recruit someone to let me seed it from their connection.
Larry -- could you recommend a suitable tracker in the odd-chance I could make this happen?
Personally I think if there was a way to torrent this without having to use a tracker,
it would go a lot faster, since the leecher/seeder ratio wouldn't be so high.
I know that Azureus allows tracker-less connections; I'm wondering if one could just
e-mail the torrent-file for people to open in their Bit Torrent clients––rather than the
usual method of downloading the torrent-file from a tracker (where thousands would then
be trying to leech from the single seeder at once, thereby greatly slowing the upload)

hardman - You can get Memorex 16 X DVD blanks this week for $14.95 for 50 pack.
I forget which place it was, either Comp USA, Best Buy, or Office Depot.
Also, in case you missed it, check out this post I made about making the most
set-top player-compatible DVD's possible. Also, the best price I found for padded
envelopes (the same that Dogfather used) is $5.25 for 10 pack at Office Max.
Also, let me know if you want me to e-mail you the Word .doc of the paper that
was included with the DVD––then you can simply print them out to include in the package.

Poop –– check your gmail and/or hotmail account.
As far as formats go, the original DVD's that Dogfather made were done
on a set-top VCR-DVD recorder. When you click on the disc on the desktop,
you will see a VIDEO_TS folder. If the DVD doesn't play automatically,
use the appropriate media player to navigate to the VIDEO_TS folder and open it.
As I stated earlier––I can't remember which thread––every commercially produced
movie-DVD will have both a VIDEO_TS folder and an empty AUDIO_TS folder.
This is because certain set-top players won't play the DVD without the AUDIO_TS folder.
For this reason, I included the empty AUDIO_TS folder in the DVD's that I made.
I also burned them using DVD-ROM (UDF) format. This way, if your computer
normally auto-mounts and plays movie DVD's, this one will do the same. This also
is the most compatible format for set-top players. As far as I know, the type of
media is irrelevant (DVD-R, +R, -RW, +RW, ect). Knott too long ago, Mac computers
would only play -R media; it was either OS 10.3 or 10.4 which made all formats compatible.

If that starts happening I will have to recall the sub-contractors and find the time to do it myself.

I believe I have Kauk, Bev Johnson, and Braun attempting to free Nose (with swami belts) on video tape that I can easily convert to DVD. I know this is an old post, but just stumbled across this site and had to mention this. I do know it has Bev Johnson and two other guys attempting to free the nose. One guy had a hearing problem. I'll have to dig it up and watch it again for their names. I taped it back in the '80s and have watched it many times since. Classic.

Master!
Please, if you can convert it to digital, maybe you can post it up on YouTube!
But be sure to check the names again, I think it was Paul, of Peter, Paul and Mary, who had the hearing problem.

One from the vault is this thread . . . Memorex tapes and such . . . way f*#king funny. Dredge up the old posts and bring out your dead.
Sender Films should get ahold of this archival stuff, re-format and redistribute. If they actually steal this idea, I'm going for royalties.
BUMPOLICIOUS.

OK. I have more info. I dug up my old video tape and found that this is indeed the one with Ron Kauk, Bev Johnson, and Werner Braun attempting to free climb El Cap. It mentions that Werner Braun was legally deaf. I just converted it to digital and am going to try to post to YouTube. I hope I'm not breaking any copywrights. It will be in Video tape quality, so don't expect a whole lot.

Can anyone confirm whether this climbing video featuring Ron Kauk, Werner Braun and Bev Johnson is an excerpt from ABC'S Wide World of Sports, American Sportsman (or a different program entirely?) Any chance anyone knows the year it aired?

Hi DogFather,
Absolutely--I am like the others--I would like one of your DVDs and am willing to pay a reasonable fee. When you have it ready email me at > loomis@rescue.com < and we can make shipping and payment arrangements.
Cheers,

I've seen it before. The best part is about one minute into the video when Ron Kauk's foot slips, with the picturesque Yosemite Falls in the background.
