Market Research Into Possible On-Line Video Sales

I have received favourable feedback regarding the videos, which I have placed on YouTube particularly for my film of the Journey Across the Isle of Wight. It has been suggested to me that I might make a DVD available for sale.

The film, which can be viewed on YouTube was copied to digital video by back projecting onto a ground glass screen and videoing with a camera through a front silvered mirror. While this method of transfer is adequate for YouTube and my private use it would leave much to be desired if marketed as a commercial DVD.

I am looking for expressions of interest from readers who would be interested in purchasing a copy.

My proposal is to:

Arrange for my original 8mm cine film to be scanned (not a telecine machine) using the latest leading edge technology.
Remaster the sound track from original tapes.
Add a commentary to describe the journey.
Supply the video in DVD format as an internet download, thus saving the cost of burning DVD's and packaging.

The likely sale price will be AUD$10.00 or GBP£6.00 for a 15 minute video.

Please indicate your interest in purchasing a copy and whether you might be interested in further videos

Please note that the quality of the video, which I offer for sale, can never be better than the original Standard 8mm cine film; also the two parts of the film will be offered as one continuous video.
