OK, this is nuts. I was looking for my copy of the famous movie "Gettysburg" as Ken Burns has a bit part in it, and I found my skating DVD collection. I have dozens over the decades which I made. For instance, I have the ladies free from 2020 NHK trophy. I edited it down to 45 minutes, cutting out the commercials. Leaving Johnny and Tara and the skaters. This one is great quality but some from the past are not so good as this.
This one starts with Young You doing Lord of the Rings and a 3A. I had no idea I even had this. Its epic.
I am a 77 year old man who rides 140 mph motorcycles. How long can I last? How do I hand out these DVDs to anyone who wants them here? I should make a list, but I am motorcycle touring, camping, going to fly-ins, trying to save my house from burning down, etc right now. I actually have some friends here I should ask if they want them.

UmeYoSake, I think your Japanese DVD format is different, No?
US and Japanese standard DVDs are incompatible because they use different region codes and video encoding standards. The US uses Region 1, while Japan uses Region 2. Additionally, both countries use the NTSC video format (instead of PAL), meaning video signals will match, but the geographic region-locking will block playback on standard players
 
May you last as long as possible, Chris! :pray: for you to be as healthy as possible for many more years!
I keep fooling the grim reaper! Passed my Perineum Biopsy...next up, calcium build up scan in heart area...
You are of course on the list of nice people I have met here along the years....And some of the DVDs are proffesional. And I have met so many nice people here from around the world who have helped me watch skating in Japan and Korea as well. Best to get rid of many of the DVDs now before something unpleasant happens. In fact, this forum has introduced me to so many great people and information in my retirement.

The world is full of nice people...you just have to look for them....
 
(I forgot...Best wishes to MK, who just had hip surgery at 46. All those jumps.....)
Also, stay away from the grumpy old men on this forum...
