Excellent points - so are you volunteering to work on this with
us..really. 

For example the most professional video(s) so far are coming out of
Vietnam, I'd love to dub the latest to English and that idea has been
sitting languishing on my personal todo list for a while - would you
help do the leg work to make that happen.

Would you take that on please - all I need at this point is contact with
the creator and an ok to generate a transcipt...of course if they couuld
supply a Vietnamese copy that would help and English, well that would be
gold - but I haven't written an email - could I ask you to do that,
please.

Best wishes,
