60 minutes II - Video Footage Needed

[MrB]

I contacted 60 minutes II to get a copy of the updated segment they ran on August 28th.

But they are unable to sell copies of it, here is the response I received:

I am sorry to report that since we had to license some third party footage for this segment, we do not have the rights to release it on home video. Also, it will not be aired again as we were only able to license it for 2 broadcasts; the last time was the second. Perhaps you and your class can get some information you can use from our website.

I would like to use this video footage for an engineering class that I am teaching this year, as well as our team.

If anyone has this on video tape, or even better if someone happened to capture it to MPEG or AVI, please contact me. I would like to arrange a copy of it. I'll pay for the tape and shipping.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

If you're interested, I have a copy of the November 02 60 Minutes Interview and the (December 02?) Tech TV Big Thinkers interview. Don't have the August 03 one, though.

I have it on video tape and according to This thread MattK has it on VCD. If you want a copy from me I'd be happy to send it or whatever, just PM me.

I might have what you want. Is it the one where he shows the basic model of the sterling using that palm sized icecube thing? If it is, i have it in digi-format already if you want it. Send me a PM.

i know for a fact some of our engineers have a copy of the tape because our team was on it briefly. It's my proof that i hugged Dean but you might want to try contacting randy weber at : rweber@tribune.com , he's one of our mentors and he might be able to help you out.

[MrB]

Thanks for all the help!

I've contacted all the people you've recommended and am hoping they will be able to help me out.

Thanks again!

[MrB]

A big thanks goes out to generalbrando, he uploaded the video clip to me this morning.

For anyone else interested in downloading the clip, just follow this link:

Thanks again!

Thats still the Nov(?) 2002 segment.

I contacted 60 minutes II to get a copy of the updated segment they ran on August 28th.

Was there a new one they made, or by 'updated' did you just mean they ran the 2002 one again?

[MrB]

correct, the 8/2003 episode was the second airing of the update.

As far as I could tell, the update just added information to the 11/2002 segment, they explained how the iBot was FDA approved, but other than that, all the interviews were the same.

Which was what I really wante dto show my students.

As for the iBot FDA info, MSNBC has a nice streaming video interview about the iBot.

I hate to revive such an old thread, but I'm looking for a digital copy of this video. Does anyone still have it sitting on their hard drive anymore?
