I vote for the DVD, but that's because I don't have a TV and do have
DVD on my Mac.

Would it be possible to produce both?

I once asked Steve Branfman, who sells clay videos as well as books,
whether anything might in the future be available in DVD format; he
replied that he didn't think so. Too bad---I understand the DVD
market is growing. The makers of these videos are missing a trick.

If it's a DVD, I'll be one of the first customers.

I wish it was a CD like the CD of Rufford's center in UK

DVDs... Yet another peeve of mine... Buy one in the
USA? Send as a nice present to friends and family? OK,
but it will not work in Europe and vice versa. The
"zones" that those faceless ones have set up to protect
their markets... One pays twice as much for a DVD here
as one does in Japan or the US/Canada... Makes me so
mad!

But I should imagine there will be video-to-DVD copying
services available to you? Like the days when everyone
was converting their home films to video? And then the
first generation videos had to be converted to the new
standard VHS...

Apparently, the new Micros**t platform launched today
is specifically geared to coping with DVDs and other
media better than Windows 9X through 2000, so we may
see a huge increase in users, which would make DVDs
more available... We'll have to wait and see.

Last time we visited Germany, a friend gave us a wish
list of video titles... We only looked in Wiesbaden,
but there were no videos around... Whole departments
full DVDs with videos to order (maybe/only). I guess
that is the way the market is developing...

BTW I am the same Elenora! No TV or video... Although
my DVD is very lazy and often does not like working at
all... Don't blame it really, because the only disk I
have is Michael Flagherty's, "Lord of the Dance"! I
adore Irish dancing, but when it is the only thing
available to watch... Well, let's say I would prefer
some diversity!
