Was 'Modern Antiquarian' released on DVD?

Does anyone know if the 'Modern Antiquarian' film was ever released on DVD? I have it on knackered old VHS (recorded from TV), and would like to own it an original copy.

Nope and we seem to spend quite a bit of time on here wishing that it was. But...until it is buy Standing with Stones (see link) which is just fabulous. I have watched it every night since I bought it and still want to watch it again!

Now the proud owner of a copy of TMA on DVD

Quality is OK - certainly watchable on a 26 inch LCD tele

Download the 2 files on the links in sttomas's post

There are 2 links to 2 zip files tma.zip & tma2.zip

You will end up at a site called Megaupload - input the 3 letter code where it says here: and click download

You then have to wait 45 seconds - then click free download

Put both files in a single directory

Rename tma.zip to tma2.z01

Extract the tma2.zip file to this location

You should end up with a single avi file TMA1.avi (+3 image files & a txt file)

The avi file can be copied to a DVD

I just used the Windows DVD Maker for this

Just managed to get it myself.

Note for mac users, try zipit to open the files. It's the only expansion program that I could get to do it!!

Hi DaveF,

Please forgive my computer iliteracy here....
I have managed to download the two zipped files and have put them in a folder called TMAvid. I have also renamed the first file (tma.zip) tma2.z01. Then I am lost. I have tried extracting the second file into TMAvid but it wont let me. I have also tried extracting to another (new) folder but it just keeps asking me to put in the first disc even after I select ok.
Got any ideas where I am going wrong.

Your very humble servant
