DVD-R
· My DVDs are burnt on quality branded DVD-R discs and are tested
before being sent out.
· My source DVDs are Region free - There is a mix of PAL & NTSC formats though this shouldn't be an issue for most modern players.
· Source quality is variable – a lot of my material
is old archive material and not necessarily broadcast standard. I try and provide an indication of quality but many discs I haven't been able to watch completely myself yet!
· DVD trades are generally not supplied with artwork.
· For more information on DVDs, including compatibility tables,
have a look at videohelp.com.
Trading
· I’m looking for rare, pro-shot film of Bob Dylan, Leonard
Cohen and other artists.
· I’ll also consider trades for audience films for Leonard
Cohen and Bjork.
· Please state the quality and format of your material;
· I generally trade 1 for 1 but will go to 2 or 3 for 1 for rare
items;
· If your source material is VCD, DVD-/+R or VHS (NTSC or PAL)
you can trade for DVD;
· I will digitise VHS video and return tapes and a VCD/DVD in return
for keeping a DVD copy myself;
· I will generally send out discs within 48 hours of agreeing a
trade;
· Discs go out first-class post with a plastic wallet in a secure
padded envelope.
Donations
· As I have most of the mainstream circulating material it is getting
harder for collectors to offer material I’m interested in. I don’t
want to be unhelpful, but I can’t afford to give this stuff away,
nor do I simply want to ‘sell’ it on. The mission of my sites
is to celebrate and share the art of the performers, not to make a profit
out of it.
· The web sites and the collation of material is an expensive business
though, (for me at any rate) so I am prepared to provide VCD/DVDs in return
for a donation towards the running costs of the site. All donations go
back into funding the domains and web-space and buying material that might
otherwise not be available to trade/share.
· I simply do not have the time to provide a B&Ps service –
sorry.
· I prefer donations via PayPal but can be flexible.
· If you’re interested in making a donation for a VCD/DVD,
contact me for further details.
· Sorry if you think this makes me a bread-head, I’m not (honest!).
Everything is negotiable – please contact me with details of any proposal you might have in mind.
Enjoy the site - I hope you find it useful,
Stephen
