28.feb.2003, 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.

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 |

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 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. Byron ------------------ |

Guess I'll be the odd man out.But I'd rather have an audio CD.I'll have to transfer it any way.No VCR-DVD or TV in my music room.I watch TV in the family room or bed room. I've never seen the need for video for teaching steel.But I didn't see the last stock market crash coming either.  Glad you're teaching again.Hope you sell a million.---bb |

As a television producer, my thoughts are as follows: Your market right now, is saturated with folks who own and use VHS machines. More and more people, however, are moving to DVD. It is simply a superior format to VHS in every possible way and much better for training/teaching applications. Take a look at Homespun Tapes website. they are converting their library to DVD because the market demands they do so. Here are the real world extra costs you'll incur by going to DVD: - additional video editing to "chunk" the exisiting program into segments that can be randomly accessed. I don't feel the CD-ROM is the best application for this kind of instruction. Feel free to e-mail me, Paul, I'll be happy to help with vendor names & additional info. |

I think DVD would be cool. I'd probably wear a VHS tape out in a week from all the rewinding and trying to absorb all of the information! |

Most steelers that aren't online these days will never even know the course exists, except by word of mouth. |

I can play either, but I prefer DVD for its random access. It's a much more convenient format to learn from,b ecause it's so easy to jump to a specific segment. Also, they cost less to ship! ------------------ |

Thanks for the helpful insights! I was already pricing both formats when I started this thread, so my frustration with manufacturing costs was starting to wear thin. DVD is my personal favorite and I believe it will become the industry standard in the near future. Right now, ALL players own VHS-I guess the answer is to start there. This is my first experience teaching through videos so my start up production and editing costs are alot more than I had originally anticipated. Quality and content are first and foremost with me. I can't sacrifice spending money there. Again, I have not given up on making both available for these first two videos. I am still shopping!!!! Here's what I have found--DVD costs are two to three times higher depending on the company used than VHS. The DVD price starts to equal out in orders of a thousnd plus. I am not sure I could sell enough DVD's to warrant the larger orders. My main concern is to not go in the red on these first videos so that I can continue to teach using this technology. I am very excited about these lessons. The visual ability to show, as well as to explain in depth what I like to do, is a teachers dream. Thanks again to all, |

is the major cost in the actual conversion of the video to DVD format, or is it in the duplication aspect of it? |

Paul, Not knowing the particulars of the situation, I don't know how practical this would be, but -- maybe you could release only the first video on VHS and see how many sell over the course of a certain period of time. That way, you might be able to gauge better the probable level of sales for subsequent releases. Then you'd have a better idea of whether the DVD format would be economically viable. |

Paul, I work for one of the biggest retailers of guitar instructional videos in the U.S. Our sales run between 50-50 to 70-30 vhs to dvds. We try to double inventory both when we can. There are still some things available in one format but not the other. our suppliers tell us that once an afordable dvd recorder for the home hits the market the vcr will be a thing of the past. |
