The VHS video tape is available from The Australian Children's Television Foundation(ACTF). Currently 13 episodes of Series I are available on 3 VHS tapes. The rest episodes and Series II will be released in 2004 or later, maybe I don't know any further release.

They can offer not only in PAL but also in NTSC(but the price may vary). For more information, see their Education Catalogue(PDF) on Learning Centre, or contact them directly. It seems they have updated the price from the 2005 issue. Their Spellbinder page is here.

Chilp Tiaylor  Communications(US)
The worst dealer in the world. I ordered their DVD in May 2003 then I lapsed into a serious problem. The quality of video and audio were bad(Audio was monaural). They missed to put an episode. There was also an episode which has terrible noise on picture. They replaced disks but they have lots of scrapes and dust. There were other defects but it's difficult to mention everything because they're so many. When I emailed them, they often replied irresponsible and incomprehensible things. I suspected that sometimes they ignored my e-mails and told me lies. Their product and handling are too terrible so people may think them fraudulent. After complaining for over 3 months, they finally refunded the full amount I paid. In September or October 2003, my friend ordered and received defective one(It missed an episode again).

August 2004
It seems they remade entire disks after the contention. 26 episodes comes from 5 discs, not 4 discs as I ordered. So perhaps you'll no longer encounter such defective products but other problems may still occure.
