I personally don't think that every company, universitiy and research 
institution that provides research material doesn't care about 
individuals. Of course it is possible that his research material is a 
commercial movie or something of the like, but that has never been said. 
I think that your sollution will likely help to solve his problem, but 
that doesn't mean that asking the producer to provide the disk in an 
unrestricted (or at least usable) format is a totally useless advice.
