	Re: Jerry Hofmann's Final Cut System Set-Up by Nora Williams 79444235 To Toby Stanier: this is not the kind of DVD that plays in you tv-connected player. So no PAL or NTSC issues. It will play on your computer in Australia as well as it does on mine in the US. AND it's great in EVERY country. (-; Others are right to complain that we don't have a video preview. We're behind on that and I hope to have it up soon. For what it is worth, we've sold LOTS of these, and no one has been disappointed yet! Nora Williams DVD MANAGER Reply   Like

	Re: Jerry Hofmann's Final Cut System Set-Up by Don Ford 86744415 OK...I must say that Jerry is pretty entertaining and informative. The static visual content is overcome with the great info presented in a lecture setting. It's actually better than "whatever it was I was expecting". If you are setting up FCP...get this video. It's actually very good! I give these comment as an AVID Editor transitioning to FCP. Reply   Like

I'll be back with a sharp/honest review if this isn't as good as it is billed. This product should have a short take for folks to see before they buy... Reply   Like
