Is there video recordings of "Feynman Lectures on physics"?

[Ahmed Abdullah]

I have the books and audios. But I have yet to find the videos. I am wondering whether they exist.

Feynman's 1961-64 undergraduate lectures, which became the basis of FLP, were tape-recorded and photographed only - they were never filmed or videotaped . However, in 1964 Feynman delivered a series of lectures at Cornell, his seven "Messenger Lectures," drawing largely from material he presented in his 1961-62 freshmen lectures, so they are similar to some of those, and these were filmed by the BBC. You can now watch them free online, courtesy of Bill Gates: research.microsoft.com/apps/tools/tuva/.

Thank you for the information. I have actually watched those lectures and almost all Feynman videos that I can find on the internet. I thought It would be wonderful if somehow I could collect those lectures in video format and see the man in action. Too bad, it was not videotaped.

Too bad, it was not videotaped.

That was the technology of video recording back then. You've seen "The Character of Physical Law - The Messenger Series of Physics Lectures" I assume?
