The directories below are by Manfred and Sylvia, prepared for the DVDs. Not all the DVDs have been uploaded to YouTube. When the DVDs are uploaded to PC, they get split into sections, which I’ve labeled using letters at the end of the titles on YouTube. Some sections, usually part 3, failed to upload to YouTube.
