The idea was born right after I purchased Pinnacle Miro Studio DC10+
Right before that (that was january 2001)I took a new computer to digitize video.
Achievement
But to achieve the project was not so simple: We have to be at home avery time the series were shown; we have to check and set everything - even when the lights were out we used UPS-а for powering up the computer and videorecorder.
But my wife and me (It's not by chance our server called Maxiol - Maxim and Olga) were always on time for the translation and we recored EVERY episode of the series!
Result
In result we have:
1st season - 40 CD
2nd season - 36 CD
3d season - 21 CD
4th season - 20 CD
5th season - 18 CD
