PAL
The reason we haven’t released our videos in the PAL format is the expense and problems with shipping to Europe or Australia. We would have to charge an average of about $60 (US dollars) for shipping to Europe and Australia if we were to use UPS. This is too high a price for most of our customers. Thus, we ship all our international packages by the US Postal Service. This is much cheaper, but it has several drawbacks. The main of which is the time it takes to fill out all the export forms for each package. The other problem we have is replacing defective videos. It is just too expensive to send replacement videos overseas.
We feel that DVD is going to be the way to go. DVD players are now selling for under $200 in the USA and we expect DVD to overtake our VHS sales in 1 to 2 years.
Our first DVD will be released in about 2 months and will contain three of our more popular step videos. Because of the small size of a DVD we will be able to ship them by UPS to almost anywhere in the world in only 1 to 2 days for about $30 s/h. And since we can get 3 videos on 1 disc you will save on the purchase price when compared to buying VHS tapes.
