My DVD/VCD Trading Policy

DVD-R
· I'm now finally set up to produce DVDs
· My DVDs are burnt on quality branded DVD-R discs and are tested before being sent out.
· My source DVDs are Region free usually PAL format, though some will be NTSC. Source is clearly stated on the lists.
· Source quality is clearly stated – a lot of my material is old archive material and not necessarily broadcast standard.
· DVDs are supplied with artwork label and cover.
· For more information on DVDs, including compatibility tables, have a look at videohelp.com.

VCDs
· My VCDs are burnt on branded discs and are tested before being sent out.
· They will be PAL format unless stated otherwise. Discs should play on any PC DVD drive worldwide and any compatible home DVD player.
· Source quality is clearly stated – a lot of my material is old archive material and not necessarily broadcast standard.
· VCDs are supplied with artwork label and cover.
· For more information on VCDs, including compatibility tables, have a look at videohelp.com.

Trading
· I’m looking for rare, pro-shot film of Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Pink Floyd, Joni Mitchell and Bjork.
· 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 VCD or 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.
