DVD With X-Mag?

[Shirow]

We got a VHS with auto/mini/emags - is there going to be anything with X-Mags? How about a DVD? They're pretty cheap to copy and make now..

Just a thought :)

if they use the same ones, i can probably donate some for recycling, i got about 4 =P

DVD's would be great because you can use the menu to get to the section you need.

I was just thinking about posting something similar. I spent Monday night fast-fowarding through the old tape that came with my MiniMag trying to find out how to stop a leak.

From what I understand, the manual and all of the videos, etc. that have been made about the X-Mag will be on CD-ROM. I don't know about DVD, but that sounds risky as there are still folks without that technology and most have VHS.

DVD isn't quite in everybody's hands yet. Everybody has a VHS player.

But it would be cool to have a CD based manual. Most DVD players can play VCD's. Or have Quicktime videos burned.

Maybe make it something you could get in the AGD Online Store?

Definitely a good idea though!

I don't have a VCR, only a DVD player. CD-ROM would be cool too, but do you think more people have computers than DVD players? Maybe.. most new computers have DVD drives in them too, though. So do most consoles (X-Box and PS2 can both play DVDs.)

Either would be good thoguh - I'm not picky :)

CD would be the safest format. More people have access to it.

Yeh, though us DVD fanatics like to think so, VHS is still the better penetrated market... I know I still have mine around for recording. ;) (And old movies that I haven't bought DVD version yet, or ever will)

Although I have all of the above mentioned formats, I would have to agree with spazzed. The DVD palyers will play cd format and everyone with a computer will be able to play it. CD is the way to go.

Alright then, how about it Tom? I'd be happy with a nice CD! Maybe some cool X-Mag wallpapers on it too ;)

Not for long. I just saw a DVD advertised for $48! I think it will be standard relative soon.
Anyway, judging from the look of Tom on my VHS video, whatever the new format it won't be updated for a looong time:D

I like the idea of a DVD with chapters!

Tom, if you want any help with that I'm your man. I can send you some DVDs that we've done recently to get an idea of what we're capable of.

I think we have a Beta does that count :)

I like the CDROM issue, just about everyone has access to a cdrom (friend,home,etc)

Plus it allows them more freedom (images, diagrams, etc if they want)

[oldsoldier]
