As some of you might remember - a video collection was offered through this site a couple of years ago on VHS. A few months ago, I put the finishing touches on the DVD version of this collection - adding a couple of clips from last year's tour. I have been hesitant in releasing this through the site for a few reasons. 1. It is not really a complete set. There were videos made for Swallowed by the Cracks and Ain't So Easy (I got confirmation from someone with access to the MTV/VH1 vaults that they do, indeed, exist). These are NOT included with this collection. 2. I was hoping to get a better copy of the Triage short film. Someone involved in the production of the video contacted me and offered to help me get a better copy. As it turns out, the company that owned the master video went under a month or so ago and he's hoping to get the master from them somehow (I'm not sure of the specifics). Now, the copy I have on the DVD is really nice - but not the master that seems within reach. 3. DB has not really given his wholehearted endorsement of this project.
Ok, so those are the reasons I've held back. I have checked around and pricing for something like this would be about $17-20 per disc shipped (or if we could swing 100+ orders, that price would come down to about $15 apiece.) I think there were about 65 orders placed for the VHS set with about 15-20 people emailing afterwards that they missed the offer. I might be overstepping here - but Jeff Wells has already done some work on cover art and might be coaxed into actually creating the final cover art design. So, this would be something cool. But then again - there are the three reasons I mentioned before. That's why I'm making this a poll question. Please vote and discuss your thoughts here.

btw, a few people have already watched the DVD - feel free to express your thoughts
omt, for you non-NTSC people (Mick) - we can discuss making a limited run of PAL discs. Of course, these will all be region 0 so there should be no problems playing them wherever.
