Hi Malcolm, Just wondered if there was any chance of the videos coming out on DVD? I'm sure it would be A LOT more expensive to produce but it would be useful - especially the Art of Poi video as you could skip to any section you wanted instantly and the tape wouldn't get worn out from re-watching the same move over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again

Naganootch: You said Blank DVD. How would you even record for DVD? Is it a program, some hardware, How is it done? I know nothing of these things. Can I do it at home, or do I need a muti-million dollar set-up. Anyone know?------------------Nothing good ever comes from hanging out with "normal" people.

The cheapest way to record dvds currently (not that its cheap) is to buy a dvd-recorder drive hich you use with a pc, similar to a cd writer. currently this will set you back about £800 i think, but there getting cheaper all the time.

One fine day in the middle of the night,
Two dead men got up to fight,
Back to back they faced each other,
Drew there swords and Shot each other.

DVD recorders for PC go for about AU$700. The blank disks for these are about AU$30. However blank DVDs use different technology than pre-recorded dvd, and due to their relatively small demand, they are quite pricey. Considering that buying DVD movies costs about $35, a commerical run of DVDs would probably cost less than $10 per disk (dependant of course on the number required). I don't know how many videos HOP sells, but I'd guess that it would be feasable to do a run of DVD's.

So, Malcolm any word on the DVD version coming out soon? I don't have a VCR any more so I can't watch the latest COL2 video.
So please tell me that you got a DVD version coming out soon.------------------Blessings to all, Peter "In motion, move like a thundering wave. When still, be like a mountain.Rising up, be like a monkey. Land swiftly and lightly like a bird. Be steadylike a rooster on one leg. One's stance is as firm as a pine tree, yetexpresses motion. Spin swiftly and circularly like a wheel. Bend and flexlike a bow. Waft gracefully like a leaf in the wind. Sink like a heavy pieceof metal. Prey like a watchful, gliding eagle. Accelerate like a gusty wind." Wushu Proverb

When you find yourself in the company of a halfling and an ill-tempered Dragon, remember, you do not have to outrun the Dragon ...you just have to outrun the halfling.

It's just that DVD's take up less room and the quality of everything is so much better. Well, that and I'm a tech junkie. Charles, why would I be mad? I agree with you it is funny if you think about it.The hardest part was that I'm collecting DVD's was what do I do with all of these old movies that I have on VHS. Anyone want a bunch of old movies? LOL------------------Blessings to all, Peter "In motion, move like a thundering wave. When still, be like a mountain.Rising up, be like a monkey. Land swiftly and lightly like a bird.
