Great news Paul! DVD.

Those that don't have one will soon.
It's like moving from audio cassettes to CD.

The cueing is fantastic, and no wearing out the tape by going back and forth.

I'm looking forward to it.

I vote for DVD as well, or both.

DVD
Where do I send the bucks????

The thing is....with DVD's each section
will have it's own track number.
So, if you want to go to a certain
lick or turnaround (or whatever the
heck your looking for) you can click
to it without hunting around with
the rewind & fast forward. You can
also repeat a track over & over.
It's the ultimate for a teaching tool!

DVD

DVD as soon as possible.

Hey Paul, glad to see you are back! My vote is for DVD.

I prefer DVD.

The DVD player sale exploded last year here in Norway.

When Egil Skjelnes and I sold our steel recording back in 1988-1990 we sold as many tapes as Cd`s.

We were in Holland in 1990 and all we sold were CD`s and year after it was the same here in Norway.

Belive me, a DVD course will be the way of the future.

It seems that it would not be too cost prohibitive to have both available. But, I would prefer DVD.

DVD, hands down!

Similarly, I'm converting all of my audio tapes to CD. It's especially convenient for instructional material to be able to directly access the track/program you want and to be able to pause, rewind, etc., without wearing out your media.

In either case, I'll look forward to them. Thanks for asking our input.

It would probably be a good idea to offer both formats as your first inventory stock and then you can observe which sells the most before replenishing your inventory.

DVD makes more sense because of the track indexing and video quality lasting much longer.

If there will be a significant different in price between the two media formats, then that can impact which one is chosen.

Regardless, you will sell a bunch of them if you have them priced "right." For example, I think you will sell fast at $30 each, where I think they will sell slower at $50+ because as bad as we all want one, certain price ranges are a little harder to justify at home...

DVD and CD Rom,that's the future.
Can't wait.

Paul, that is great news for us all. I work for Albertson's video department renting VHS and DVD movies. I have had many returned DVD movies with customer complaints that the movie quit or skiped and had to issue credits to them or re rent VHS copies to them. I dont own a DVD player, but would buy one if that is how you go with your new instruction course. Either way I will order when ready. Take care Paul.

DVD is a much hipper medium than VHS. But there's a TV and VCR in my steel room. The computer and DVD is in another room. So if I were ordering, I'd end up getting the VHS if available.

Hello Paul,
I would say, release your course in both DVD-disc and VHS-tape.
And regarding the VHS: For every 100 pieces of VHS in american NTSC mode, have the videotape-copyfactory make 10 pieces in the european PAL-mode, which is used in Europe and Australia.
The factory will charge same price, since
most likely both the NTSC and the PAL mode is copied out of the same video-recorder, the National/Panasonic World Video NV-W1.
I see Bruce Boutons course on Homespun Tapes is available in all music shops here in Europe in PAL VHS.
It is exciting that we soon can buy a Paul Franklin instruction video tape. I have worked through most of your cassette courses. They are top material.
Kind regards,
Henning¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

I would prefer DVD. Thanks for making them available Paul.

Hi Paul, I'd prefer DVD and I'm hoping you offer an intermidiate to advanced C6th lesson. There are plenty of beginner instructional things available. Also, I think you should offer a lesson on recording. How to get good tone, how to think and prepare, everything that goes into getting a good recording. You da man! Thanks

It's not even close... DVD! Heck, you can buy a DVD player for $79 at walmart.

Paul, I think it's a great idea for you to teach steel on video. I've listened to a lot of records you've played on, and I've played along with you on some of the cds I've got. I love those steel licks you play. You're one of my favorite steel players. Brett Day, Emmons S-10, Morrell lapsteel

DVD!

How about 8mm or even better, slides, only kidding.

My choice, VHS

I'd vote for both. I could put each of them in their players and have twin steel.

DVD please, it is so much easier to work with, always in tune(very important) and doesn't wear out. What's better about VHS? Some folks still have the machines, and that's all IMHO. I'll buy your course either way though.
