Sinkster 0 #1 August 29, 2002 I hate to clutter the msg board just for this but I just gotta get the Crosswind video, but I only have a DVD player so I am wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to buy in DVD format? Also, if not, I am willing to buy the VHS video and then get it "pressed" to DVD if anyone knows if that is possible too. Finally, as a last ditch resort, if anyone has any recommendations of videos as inspiring and artistic (as good) as Crosswind that are on DVD that would also be an option. THANX!

Almost everyone has a player, they are cheaper to manufacture than VHS videos, and can sell for higher prices. (I'd pay 10 extra for that.) I ought to get the contact information for those responsible and see what they have to say.

Around here you can get a standalone DVD player for 60 bucks at Walmart. Almost anyone can afford that. Also, I have noticed that at most rental places like Blockbuster, the DVD section of new releases is now larger than the VHS section. There's gotta be a substantial user base to support that.

I'm guessing DVD fever might just be an American thing then, but the U.S. has bought 30 million players in five years (compared to 13 for VHS players), and DVDs are outselling tape movies now.

And for the North Americains, yes, you would need a PAL compatible DVD player (even if the disc is Region 0 or if your player is multi region, but only NTSC compatible). The North American Phillips players are easily hackable for Multi Region, and have PAL and NTSC input and output options.Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
