It is 23 years old. It took a bit of work, more than was prob needed but the only way I knew how. Burned it on a dvd, then converted the files to avi.

Thanks for posting! I didn't realize that these fires were so common. I hadn't heard about them until a few years ago. Now here we are again, fighting to contain them, and unable to breathe.
