In fact some producers either have already started doing it that way or are headed in that direction
Seems the thing to do since tape sales have really declined and like u said can get pretty pricey ( except someone I know named Wetgod,lol)
Styx has been using that format ever since the new site launched and being a member (either long term or short term) can down load 'em for free (i.e. no extra charge on top of the membership fee) and full length 20-25 min
Others are offering streaming or short clips at an extra cost to the members but that format of obtaining videos from the producers is what it will come down to
With the exception of Nigel's Minx Movies and MK's Wamtec Vids. Those will always sell
But I personally like the downloadable format for videos instead of purchasing vhs's or dvd's

In reply to Message (5785) Just out of curiosity...
By David - dcline414@yahoo.com Mon 08/09/03 17:30:34 GMT I would love to support some of the producers that have recently, and not so recently, posted great clips and pictures of their material on this forum, but I have 2 concerns:
1) The cost of most of the wetlook tapes that I would love to buy is very high ($35 or more) for a poor college student like myself.
2) I am concerned about having "physical" evidence around my apartment like a DVD or VHS tape.
Would it be feasible (or any cheaper) to offer downloadable movies directly from your web site that could be purchased and either streamed over a high speed connection or downloaded? This way producers would avoid the cost of putting their movies on media as well as the cost to package and ship their movies, and buyers would get the videos quicker and (perhaps) cheaper.
If something of this type were available for full-length videos, such as wamwatchers is for clips, I would gladly support it.
I have no idea what this would require in the way of bandwidth or what the cost of running a server capable of such downloads would be, but I would appreciate any comments from those that do have knowledge in this area, especially producers.
Stay wet y'all!
David
