Pocket DVD idea
I hope someone reads this some time, I'm going to post links to it on a few message boards soon. I'd like peoples views on this idea:
I made a version of RSK (called RSK Turbo*), which I could
carry around with me wherever I went, in my Wallet. Here it is:
It's an 8cm DVD-R that you use in those crap DVD video cameras, the capacity is 1.46GB, compared to a standard DVD-R's 4.7GB, so I had to take off the extra features like 2nd audio and commentary tracks and the slide shows, but it's got the whole video on there, with fully functional menu's.
So the question is... who'd buy a pocket version of "The Collective", or any other sponge vid?
just think, you're at a party and you're chatting to some female:
You: "yeah, I bodyboard"
Her: "OH, I've done that! it's fun, do you think you'll ever do real surfing?"
You: "Have a look at this DVD"
Her: "wow, that's loads better than stand-up, you're cool"
You: "shyu, wanna hit it?"
Could also use a light-weight plastic clam-shell type holder/protector for it and make it a key-ring or something. Sell them for about 1/2 the normal price, or as part of a special package.
Anyone who wants a custom mini-DVD of RSK or their fave vid get in touch, reasonable price: garthwembury@hotmail.com
and leave a comment about this, good idea? or lame?
* little known fact: the only other reference to this is on George Herons Bodyboarder.com page.

Yeah, that's the idea, I have used mine a couple of times, I think it's got potential, maybe for another project.
hmmm, im undecided, sounds like a good idea, something different, however i never really find my self needing to carry around dvd's once i have brought one or had it delievered to my house it goes into my room and tends to stay there. could be worth it but if there is a great cost involved id defiantly think about doing some good research before investing into a bulk batch of new mini dvd's ;)
hope that helps

yeah, I won't be ordering a big batch just yet, cheers for the feedback, I might make a few just to give to the contributors, a reward for helping out. Maybe with a bonus - not on the full version - section
That way I can get some feedback on them for a future project and contributors will have a nice gift too.
