Since I have a "master" copy of the games, I've often wondered if officials would pay to receive a copy of a game tape. Since I'm taping the games, I couldn't guarantee always having an official in the frame, but I do try to capture the official when reporting a call to the bench. If I offered that service to you, would you take advantage of it, and how much would be a reasonable price?
What do you charge for your school or the other teams? If you are providing them a service to improve the game, then you should extend that courtesy to the officials. This will only improve the quality of officiating for your area.

With that being said, it would be reasonable to ask for the money it cost for the tape. I'd probably pay ten dollars but not when most good coaches offer a copy as a professional courtesy.
