First off, please let me bow before you, the true MiSTers of riffing. You and your famous show have provided me with countless hours of breathless stomach pain doubled up in front of the television. For that, I thank you.

But, really, the website needs some tweaking. When I'm looking at something you're selling, I get very confused about what it is I'm buying. Three things, added to each item's little blurb-entry-thingy in the list of blurb-entry-thingies, could make things a lot clearer:
- Date of release
- Length (i.e., running time) of file
- The phrase "Audio File" or "Video File"

In sum, you guys rock, but clarify your stock.

If you look on the product pages you can find out two out of three of those. The date of release is near the top of the page right after the title and the "riffed by" line. Also you see the words "NTSC" "PAL" "RIFF" and "VOD" near the top. The ones highlighted in white apply to that rifftrax. VOD means video on demand. NTSC is an audio file for Norh American DVDs. PAL for other types of DVD. RIFF is for the Rifftrax Player.

It could be made clearer, and the length of the file would be a good thing too.

Is length really necessary?  I mean, they're all very close to being the length of the movies themselves (give or take a couple minutes).  But for shorts, it might make a little more sense.  Tho we diehards already know that $0.99 means 10mins or under and $1.99 means roughly 20mins.

I think shorts would be the big thing to show length on, but who knows. Maybe someone will have forgotten how long the Lord of the Rings movies are, and seeing the running time would make it more obvious to a newbie why it's a buck more for them.
