I put all of the Hobie Promo stuff on DVD last boat show season. A DVD is so much nicer and easier to view. You could actually place all of the clinics on one DVD, but I see your point at still having VHS versions to sell.

The advantage with the promo DVD stuff is easy navigation and constant-on looped content for shows and in-store use. We can't even imagine using VHS tapes anymore. Personally, I hate to rent a VHS for watching movies...yuck.

You can get a production burner (25 per run) for just over $1,000 now that is robotic and prints the labels right on the disks with an inkjet. I just let it burn over night and more during the day when doing a big run. Blank DVD disks are down to under a buck now when purchased in bulk. Depending on how many you do... it can pay for itself pretty quick. We figured ours was paid off right away as compared to doing a bulk order from some company.
