Hello,

Will there be more VOD titles coming to DVD purchase in the future?  There are VOD titles (such as Cool as Ice and Birdemic Live, both I've purchased and have watched multiple times  :) ) that I would love to see on DVD someday to give as gifts, and because I prefer to watch them on my TV rather than at my computer.

Keep up the good work there!   :clap:

Other than the gift giving aspect, if you have a DVD burner you can download the ISO files and make your own to watch on a TV.

Or you could do what I do and use an HDMI cable to make my TV a second monitor.

I do not have DVD burning capabilities, and the HDMI would be too long.  I do appreciate the alternatives, everyone!   :)

So there are no plans to put more VOD titles available on DVD in the future?  Is that correct?

I'm sure there are plans for more DVDs, just not right now (that any of us have heard)  :-\

If you cannot make DVDs............ there are items like AppleTV (a $99 item) that you can just store the mp4s in your itunes, then just watch them on your TV, iphone, ipad, etc.

We don't have any DVDs on the horizon, sorry.

Apple TV makes it really easy to watch VODs on your TV.

It's a shame, but obviously the DVDs aren't profitable enough to bother with.
FINE

Seems that applies to the entire original business model, pretty much, Grug.

Yup.

Don't blame me, I was buying it all.
FINE

Why make mp3s for DVDs that no one buys?  I am glad that they have been able to change along with the times.
