NHK OSHIN DIGITIZED SALE

I have the entire collection of NHK's Morning Drama "Oshin" (おしん) in digital file format. Recorded in VHS SP mode in 2000, the set contains 297 episodes, all subtitled in English. The video quality ranges from B- to C-. The video you see above is a sample of episodes 1 through 3 (keep in mind that the sample is 320x240. The actual videos are 720x480.)

You can purchase the entire series today, stored on an external USB hard disk drive. US$500.00 includes all 297 episodes in MPEG-2 video format, and a 250GB external USB hard disk drive. Shipping is also included for United States buyers, or US$50.00 for international EMS shipping. These MPEG-2 files can then be used to create your own DVDs. PM all inquiries to me at D-Addicts.

Sorry, no DVDs of this series available.

  AMERICAN SPORT EVENTS

I've archived my VHS tapes to DVD, complete with TBC correction. Each DVD is USD$5.00, to help pay for the media and equipment used to archive the recordings. I'm also willing to trade for other events, in DVD or VHS format. Unless mentioned otherwise, I've left the commercials on the recordings, so you can get a chance to see all the old national and local (Hawaii) commercials from the past. Only PayPal payments are acceptable. Send me a message with your state and zip code, and I'll reply with a price quotation.
