I recon if someone was able to convert the video to DVD format (.vob and all that), and then create a torrent, or host it somewhere, then people would be able to download those files and burn it to dvd themselves.

Kerry's video pointed out the advantage of having the minimum thickness sized shim as a referance for when ordering new shims. Its little things like this wear a true DIY video gives you fantastic advice.


THANKS KERRY! 


A quick question, how much do shims cost, and do dealers usually have them on hand?

I've heard of shims being as low as $6, but I paid $13 for mine. Yes, it was high, but the dealer also had it in stock, so I had no down time. I believe I was lucky, because the consensus seems to be that one usually must order shims and wait for them to come in at the dealers (which is another reason I'm not concerned about the dealer reaming me...I had mine in my hands and into my bike same day!  ).

Bike Bandit has them for $9.02, haven't checked with my local dealer yet.

While these prices are FAR from unreasonable i dont think it needs to go that far. i dont think kerry wanted anyone burning up that many miles on thier burners just to pass on his video.
PS.  TB, you dont burn music CD's from your DVD burner do you? think i would leave that wear and tear to a standard CDrw drive and leave the VIdeo stuff soley to the DVDburner.

Burning cheerleading mixes only involves 1 or 2 copies, so the burner gets very little use.  If I start to offer Kerry's Valve Video on DVD, then I expect to get at least a dozen requests for it.   I tried to make it evident that  the $2-$3.something I plan to offer for a DVD is to cover the cost of the disc&case, with the balance going towards a new burner (which run ~$40).   If you crunch the numbers, then I would have to burn somewhere close to 50 dvds for my 'profit' to cover that cost.   I don't think this it out of the question.   I think its a fair way to mitigate the costs...... but....

.....If you would like buy a burner for yourself, then I will be very very happy to send you the DVD image and you can field all of the requests for the DVD and not have to charge anyone.

I think a DVD would  preferable to a computer media file to some.   If i'm wrong then noone will ask me for it and I wont' have to worry about buying DVDR's or wear and tear on the burner.

To answer your other question....the DVD/CD burner is the only burner I have on my main computer, so when I do mix music (which i haven't done in a while) I use it.    I use a DVD-ROM drive on that same computer for normal day-to-day stuff.

Anyways, see http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=24216.0 for my intentions on this matter

DVD Burners are only $35 bucks, why would you have a CD burner only anymore.  One DVD reader and one DVD burner and you're set.  Maybe in the past when DVD burners were expensive, you might have not used your DVD burner to burn CD's, but now days...it doesn't matter...
