[sumo] Full Video set available

[Barbara]

Once again, I will have the broadcast sumo for the current basho 
available as Xvid/Divx mp4 computer viewable AVI files.  Unfortunately,
last Monday I had a hard disk failure and lost my source files for
days 1-4.  I'm a true believer in frequent backups, so the data I lost 
was actually fairly minimal, but the sumo files were work-in-progress 
and did not have backups yet.  This set is therefore only days 5-15, on 
three 4.7GB disks.  Cost is reduced proportionately, of course. Copies 
of the set can only be requested beginning now and through about 5 days 
after the last day of the basho.  For detailed information see

I planned on offering a "complete year" set in January.  Only 2 people 
expressed interest, though. That would be 24 disks covering a whole year 
of sumo broadcast.  This current computer mishap still has me restoring 
files from old backups, so I am too busy right now to set this up.  I 
think I will instead just offer old sets one at a time. Later.

On the positive side, I did a lot of experiments and managed to improve 
the video quality a bit more.  I'm sure you will be pleased with the 
quality.

As before, I will only continue making these sets if I have at least 5 
requests.  Last time there were 8 requests.

You needn't worry about missing Asashoryuu's stunning defeat on day 2 - 
the match is replayed more than once in later broadcasts.
