I did, originally, make it a volume 1 - but the person I was performing the work for did not like the 'volume 1' moniker. As to using DVD shrink - I think we all know the general quality of the material that most people have for these DVD's and dropping the quality down further would just not be right. I would rather put out the 1st disc as is solo without any follow up. And, hopefully, this could prompt those who state that they are 'making and releasing the ultimate dvd of bonus material' to actually do less talk and more action!
As for extra material, I know a few ppl in this thread have posted they found or have info, but got no response back. If you want more material, why not read up and ask them.
Been there and done that - the response I got was that they would rather do their own project themselves instead of collaborating.
I agree, why not put out a "volume 1" and a "volume 2" instead of holding onto it until a 2nd disc is created. Also, are you trying to fit it all on a DVD5? In that case, why not put it all on a DVD9 instead of a DVD 5, or use a shinking program like dvdshrink to compress it so the last 5 minutes fit?

I admit I am not equipped with all the details, and I am sorry if I assumed anything wrong. Please help me out, as I'm still confused. I noticed y ou have a different SN than the original thread starter, and the other person in this thread (NeilB) who wanted to do there own piece. If this the same project as the thread starters, or is this NealB's project, or something differnet?
Either way, I'd love to see you release the work. I understand your DVD shrink thoughts. I just figured 5 minutes wasn't a ton of material to compress. Could you author it for a DVD9 (Dual LAyer DVD)? I'm sure you've thought of that though, but I figured I'd throw it out there.
At any rate, if you want to release it as is, that's still better than nothing. You can always release it as is, not as volume one, and if you ever do a follow up disk (sequel, volume 2, etc), name it as you see fit once you get to that point.
I do hope to see this work though, as it sounded like a great I idea. Here's to hoping you all decide to put it out, even if it's as is.
