Several of those mentioned have good bits, and - unfortunately - they also have dire bits too.
What follows is, as always, IMH (and modest) O
DSA post-test
Wasted opportunity, to use the educational phrase. Poor quality, and some weird ideas put forward, eg the way to solve running wide in a corner is . . . not to do it in the first place. Well, yeah, durrr . . .
DSA 'What if'
Don't know if the old video is available as a DVD but it is actually quite good at hazard perception etc. Not 'advanced' though.
Mike Waite
Let down in so many ways . . . The bit I found most useful was on 'presenting' to other roadusers, a term I'd not heard before but leads to a way of thinking, which I like.
But . . . for a video (which is how it originated, hence why not running on DVD players, I guess) which concentrates on using the vanishing point, why the hell did he leave in the bit where he misread a bend
Plenty of other howlers; I saw it with a room full (over 100) IAM members, and there was a massive collective sharp intake of breath at one overtake. Lots of 'swoopng' overtakes rather than out, check, go.
Taming the Beast
Again, a video. The maker, sadly, has gone to meet his, I don't know who holds the (C) and whether anything will ever be see again of it (and his book).

Edit: Pippa must be Colin's widow?

Made in 1982, but not too much the worse for it, it's still a great example of high standard thinking and riding.
GRGR & GRGR2
Both very good
Urban riders survival guide
Made, I believe, by the GRGR team. Not seen it.
Top Rider
Made in the early '90s by Kent IAM, basic - but good hazard perception sequence.
Twist of the Wrist (& TWOTW2)
Very much aimed at track riding - as are the books - but elements can be adapted for road riding. First is old (again, originally a video), try to accept the'humour'. Not seen 2.
There have been varous shorter videos done, particularly in conjunction with the various Bikesafe type schemes.
