Shameless plug this, but seeing as though I'm ploughing all my spare cash into the Super-8 Cities Project and a planned super-16 short I think its only fair. It would be great if anyone has the ability to show some support for my filmmaking.
My Super-8 Documentary 'The Burning of Girolamo Savonarola' is available on DVD for only $7, 6 euros or £4 + P&P
The same price goes for my other films 'Winter Water' (16 minutes) and 'The Interior' (35 minute travel doc across Iceland)
And all three are available for $15, 3 individually boxed films.
Top quality covers, DVD menus, and all that stuff...
That's great, Congrats. I notice from the art work the films are PAL. Do you plan to release in NTSC??? I think I need to buy a PAL DVD player. Is it true that they will play NTSC too??? I wish the world would get together on this stuff.

I certainly could create an NTSC disc if the demand is there. It would be quite time consuming for my current schedule, but if I get about 10 interested people from NTSC land I would certainly consider it.
My PAL DVD player plays NTSC discs from the States.
A lot of dvd players in the usa play pal but for what ever reason they don't always promot this feature..

I Hope I'm Not Turning Into a Camera Collector.
hey! always good to see people self funding their own projects and selling them. you dont get much purerer than that.. unless u gave them out for free that is..i guess. I havnt seen any of your films but i will chek them out... anyone got a torrent??

yes. and while they do handle the framerate they might output pal y/c and composite signals so to connect it to an ntsc tv you need to use component rgb. but you'd probably want to do that anyway.

You mean even the tvs are protocol specific too???? Dang!! I have lead a too sheltered life. Thanks, Matt.

Many North American players can play PAL right out of the box (or after a quick set of keypresses). It's worth googling your current model -- you may be able to order a PAL copy without trouble.
Here's a link to a $55 Philips DVD player at Wal-Mart (This model is available all over the place - I'm not suggesting anyone consider buying from them). It can play PAL DVDs on North American TVs and can be set to "region free" so it'll play commercial discs that have been restricted to Europe/Asia.
