I figured.

AFAIK it is not under a open license, it is not CSS encrypted (which is a
good call) but I would have to have look at the right to play to an audience
and such like - it may be that we'd have to contact the owner of the
material and pay him a small fee.  I would be happy to arrange this assuming
it wasn't an atronomical cost.

It very much depends on the license it was sold under, I will need to check.
It would not be normal practice to sell it on a broadcastable basis, but
this is _not_ a normal DVD.  It would not be normal practice to make a book
freely redistributable, and editable, but everything from GNU press is
licensed this way, as are a few O'Reilly books.

This is a good fallback - if only a few people want to see it then I could
probably fit you in my front room one evening (assuming the wife agrees).
