If you can supply me with an MPEG, I can do it.  By my calculations
the resulting (gzip'ed ASCII) file should be under 100 megabytes, and
with pipelining I should be able to do the whole thing in a few days.

Audio gets a bit tricky.  Closed-caption data has possibilities;
the standard ASCII BEL doesn't quite have the bandwidth to encode
speech.
