For anyone wondering it did all cost me last year a few hundred quid to do this. When I looked in to it a few years ago it turned out that there is some sort of public licence that allows me to reproduce and distribute the coverage as long as I don't profit from it. I can assure everyone I am far from profiting from it and try to make this transparent as Darrell has pointed out.
Oh, and what is not on iplayer is the finish line cameras. Moreover if anyone wants a copy of the race to keep then it won't be on iplayer forever. Also the resolution of the race coverage on iplayer is not great so if you want to see yourself not so pixelated a tv recording is much better.
Have just watched the master of the main coverage today (it had to be joined together and compressed to get it on one disk) and that is ok so only got to do the highlights and I should be copying dvd's then over the weekend.
Becksr. I have had a look at the mailbox I am filtering all this stuff in to and either almost everyone has forgotten to mail me or the emails coming from the RW "Email Me" function is not working or getting swallowed up as spam by my ISP.
If you want to mail me again, you can mail me at
flmdvd@garrod.force9.co.uk
I have only just set this email address up so it prob won't work for 45 mins, i.e. until about 10 tonight.
I have everyones email addrs from the bmycharity website so I guess I am going to have to email everyone for addresses when it comes to doing the disks.
Thanks for the emails a few of you have sent me since yesterday re-confirming your details. Seems there is something about the RW Email Me facility that is not too reliable.
I have an email from bmycharity for everyone who has donated and that has your email addresses in to I can mail anyone whose details I have not got, bit please do re-confirm your addresses and times via
