    Since Dateline plans I believe on selling vidotape copies of this segment, PLEASE DON"T ADVERTISE ON THE BOARD OR ANYWHERE THAT YOU ARE SHARING COPIES.

    I repeat: PLEASE DON"T ADVERTISE ON THE BOARD OR ANYWHERE THAT YOU ARE SHARING COPIES.

    Everyone, USE EMAIL for crying ourt loud, better yet, edit your posts if it isn't too late.

    It won't be easy ever agian to get a program to air our stuff if we ADVERTISE that we're taking money away from them.

    Hugs to all of you who are...uh...

    BEFORE YOU TRY AND REMOVE THE STICK FROM MY ARSE, REMOVE THE TELEPHONE POLE FROM YOUR OWN ARSE.

    I believe you can...but just keep this stuff off a major board like this.

    And don't forget peoples, Europe mostly uses PAL format...US an Japan uses NTSC, and FRance I think uses SECAM...

    Good point - I think the more copies that are bought off Dateline then the more it will confirm the large interest in the programme and perhaps encourage them to make others?

    We'll buy one and also inquire about making some clips available online with links to them to buy the full copy.

    Yes, Simon, low-res previews on this and other sites would certainly be an excellent idea, and I agree fully with Dungbeetle.

    Not only that but I don't think it is very expensive at all to buy copies from the show. I think the last time I did that the cost was only around 15-20.00
    You can figure on spending that much in the cost of duplicating and mailing.

    From Dateline NBC's FAQ via www.silentlambs.org "Dateline Update" link:

    How do I order a transcript?
    TRANSCRIPTS: Transcripts for NBC News Programs are available for purchase through the Burrell Transcript Service by calling 1-800-777-TEXT.

    How do I order a video?
    VIDEO TAPES: Only selected segments of our news magazines are available on VHS cassette. For information call: 1-800-420-2626.

    Board members might think to call this number sometime this week to ensure that the segment on the Watchtower becomes one of the "selected segments."

    Since I STILL don't know how to work my VCR , that's what I'm planning to do!

    If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never
    tried before.

    Well, I tried to buy a copy of 20/20 program last year from ABC and they wanted 35.00! I couldnt believe it! I even wrote them a letter saying it was shameful of them (The program in question was about orphanages in Romania, and I made the objection that for what they charge for a video, 100 kids could have been fed-or something like that)

    Anyway, I know it's a different network, so who knows (I guess I could call the number, but I'm lazy!)

    Dont forget that you are looking at costs for producing a very small number of copies compared to commercial film releases and the like. The charges seem appropriate considering - it's not like you are buying a WaltDisney film which is going to sell millions of copies (which can be made more cheaply).

    Like most things (eg. printing) limited production runs cost more money.
