Yes, but can we negotiate a little? I'd love to have the iso, but
here's the thing...
The original post was huge, almost 10 GB. For my own library, I
convert AVIs to MP4 (x264 codec instead of xvid). It's a much more
advanced codec and compresses the file size by as much 2/3 while
retaining all the quality. x264 is now pretty much the standard for
5.0 web, smart phones, tablets, streaming, etc. You may already know
all this, but I mention these things because there are some folks who
do not want to change - say, for example because they play their vids
on an old DVD player that knows only xvid/AVI. I can understand that,
but I never burn/play DVDs any longer. I just stream from my computer
to the TV.
If you'd accept MP4 versions, then I would be glad to post everything
in a day or two after I've made the conversions.
I'm going to post a couple of samples (posting as "Scotty") for you to
look at.

NOTES for "Beatles Anthology samples" (for Andrew)
These are clips of the first 10 minutes of the
first episode of the Beatles Anthology documentary
series converted to MP4. Both have English
subtitles you can turn on/off. They have ".M4V"
extensions but that's just a synonym for MP4 and
is prefered by iTunes and Apple devices.
One sample is a straight conversion from the
original xvid/AVI to an MP4 with H.264/AVC video
and AAC audio.
Sample two is the same clip, same conversion, but
I have trimmed off the black borders (an artifact of
the DVD being PAL, I think), and nudged the
volume down by 6db.
