The second part will be : DVD Piracy Part 2. As a continuation of last month we are now wanting to share how you package your product to the client. So Everyone please bring some samples of how and what you do for Printing and packaging your DVDs 

In addition to the main presentations, there are two components of PVN meetings that always stimulate: The "For Sale" table and the "Bring and Brag" segment. The first offers bargains that are hard to pass up. The latter offers inspiration for enhancing your skills. There's a lot to love!

We look forward to seeing you there.

Future Programs

This week's PVN Board meeting focused on lining up excellent meeting programs for 2010. With one great idea after another coming from the Board members, our new President, John Lister, put together a tentative program calendar through May that is sure to please. The subjects are aimed at helping us all expand our skill and creativity while we enjoy practicing our craft.

February Recap

JVC gave us the scoop on their Blu-ray Blu-ray recorder with an internal hard disk drive for easy duplication and disc authoring without a PC. They also told us about new state-of-the-art monitors, and their popular solid-state cameras. The JVC GY-HM100 hand-held and GY-HM700 shoulder mounted cameras were there to test out.

Mike Bjac and Dave Bauers told how they try to discourage DVD piracy.

January Recap

The January meeting was filled with information about the latest offerings from Samy's Camera. After Robert Morrissey's presentation questions came from everywhere and answers came flying back. No one could stump him!

John Lister introduced some of the Board members for 2010 and everyone sent their best wishes to Petr and Jennifer as they face her health challenges.
