Both appear to be out of print from WGBH and BBC. *Genetic Gamble* (1985) was also distributed by Coronet Film & Video. You may try Phoenix Learning who picked up their catalog.
Copying to change format: that is another issue and up to your interpretation of copyright 108c and fair use. See the recent ARL Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Academic and Research Libraries<http://www.arl.org/pp/ppcopyright/codefairuse/index.shtml> or Community Practices in the Fair Use of Video in Libraries<http://pages.shanti.virginia.edu/Fair_Use_and_Video/>ALA.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions.
