After a bit of hassle with software, I've managed to use a laptop and my PC to salvage the disc and create a disc image that I can now cut to a DVD. I played a disc earlier and it played through okay, so I'll make some copies soon and post them to those of you who have non-working ones or want one for the first time.
If you have one that is a bit jumpy, you could try copying it to another disc if you have a DVD writer. I recorded Spiderman from TV to a disc about a year ago, then when I came to re-watch it a few months ago it didn't work very well, so I copied it to another disc and it worked perfectly. That faulty one had a sticker on it as well. I don't think I'll be using stickers anymore.
As mentioned in the other thread, here is some general info about the disc, for the people who don't know anything about it:
It is about 1 hour long, and has animated menu screens, and short 3D rendered intro for a bit of fun.
The beginning is in the dealer room and lasts about 10 minutes.
The majority of the footage is of the main stage where Terry English and William Hope answer questions (with John Shadwell showing up in Marine armour in the Terry part).
It finishes off with a couple of minutes of the signings, followed by the credits.
Note: The sound is quite low on the talks, as the sound wasn't very loud in the room. If you turn the volume up on your TV you should be okay. I find it okay, and can hear what they are saying.
The picture quality isn't brilliant, as it's from an analogue camcorder and was captured through a composite lead; all I had at the time.

Anyway, enough of that, let's get this sorted out.
People that have a copy that need a replacement disc:
Harry (2 copies)
Osmotic
Rook
I'll do these free of charge.
If anyone else has a broken copy that they can't copy to make a new working one, let me know.
Other people were interested in getting a copy, so you'll want to read this bit:
£2.50 per copy.
UK Postage: 50p
[edit 12/04/08 - these prices are out of date, or I made a loss last time]
International postage: £1.20 EUR; £1.60 USA
new international postage costs are here:
From looking at the Royal Mail site, the cost to the USA and Australia is £2.52; Europe mainland is £1.36 (which brings the full price - disc and postage - to $10.65AUD, $9.89USD or 4.81 Euros).
To clarify, my PayPal address is my email address.
[end of edit]
PayPal would be best if possible.
So, what I need is for people to email or PM me if they still want one, with their name and address. My email address is on my site - link in my sig. I don't want to post it here in case an email gathering web-bot can get it (my website one is disguised in the HTML).
Because of the sticker issue, I'll put these on discs that have a plain white coating on them. These discs are designed for printers that can print on the disc surface (which I don't have), so I'll leave them blank. If you have a printer that can print on discs, mention it here and I'll find the picture and post a link so you can do the label yourself.
I think that's everything.
will order one over the weekend....will compare it to video i shot at the con..
