Quote from: "Thelma Levett"I have changed to downloads.  Mainly because I now offer a pick and mix option so you can pick something from any of my compilations and have just the ones you want.  I would not be able to offer this with the discs.  Also it means people a long distance get it not only quicker but don't have the problem of postage and import tax.  Also I don't see why the disc is an issue because once you have purchased and received a download you can easily burn it onto a disc for your physical collection.  Job's a goodun!  

I do think any download should be backed up with a disc by the way.  I occasionally get emails from people saying they have lost their download for one reason or another and I am happy to re-send stuff to them.  Here is my age coming through a bit I suppose, I don't totally trust downloads.  I want something I can pick up and put on a shelf with my other instructions.  Then no matter what happens its still there.  Unless my house burns down of course!

DVD and rip, or download and burn.  Either way works and accomplishes the same goal!  Love that we are thinking alike!  :)

I know Cindy already addressed it, but yes, it's only illegal if you try to re-sell it.  Using it for person use only is fine.

I use a program called DVD Catalyst (free to try and $9.95 to buy) to convert the DVD to an MP4 file, then avidemux (free download) to split it up.
