Jim Meeker ... aka "The Old Timer" Presents... March Get Together The Original Casablanca Users Group Web Site
DVD Order Information For DVDs from the 2007 March Get Together
To all Casablanca Enthusiasts…... PRINT THIS OUT…….IT'S LONG!
I have completed the Eleven DVDs of all the programs which were given at the 2007
"March Get Together" and have also created a short version showing a little of all the
programs in a Two DVD SET. This makes a complete set of 13 DVDs. That's over 25 hours of
learning and fun with Casablanca Editing, presented by people who are users of this
equipment just like you.
This short compilation of all the programs will be available as a two DVD set by itself, or
you can order them along with all or just a few of the other programs individually.
The DVDs of the individual speakers are complete and have not been cut down or shortened.
Generally there are two presentations from two speakers on each DVD. However Tim
Ryan's program was a full two hours so it fills one DVD.
Because there are so many DVDs we are offering different ways to order. The entire set is
available at a greatly reduced price. The individual DVDs are available for $25.00 each
( Containing two hours of lectures) but if you order the Compilation Set of two DVDs along
with some of the individual lectures…. they are sold at a reduced price. The prices that you
will pay depend on what combination of DVDs you order.
Please download and print out the order form and fill in which way you would like to
order. Remember ordering the Compilation set which shows some of every presentation gets
sizable discount on all the full program DVDs that your order along with it. If you order the complete set of 13 DVDs…. you will save even more.
Fill in the order form and be sure to read the yellow box information about the
then mail it along with your check to :

It is my hope that I can provide the package of all the DVDs at a reasonable enough price
so that those who could not attend will be able to afford to purchase the entire set. Then
for the folks who did attend, they might be interested in a group of particular lectures that they
would like to have on hand to keep. With this in mind, the DVDs are offered containing two
of lectures... in the order that they were presented at the convention.
I think that everyone should order the Main Compilation DVDs that show some of all the
lectures and demonstrations, including the demos of the new software that MacroSystem has
in the pipeline.
Seeing Chet Davis and Jörg Sprave demonstrate these products is really an
advantage over just reading about them in magazines or on the web site. You will also get to
hear Jörg talk about future plans for MacroSystem and what direction they will be moving in
the years to come.
Michael Gunderson also has expressed his wish to market his lecture himself, so it is not included in this set but can be obtained from MRG Video at: mrgvideo@aeroinc.net
The pricing of the DVDs individually and in sets will be determined by if you purchase the compilation DVD or not. Here is a look at how the pricing will be set on these DVDs as individual items or in sets.
The Main Compilation Two DVD Set is
$39.95
The Main Compilation Two DVD Set plus the other 11 DVDs
as a complete set of 13 will be
$250.00
Each two hour DVD of the lectures if purchased
individually without the Main Compilation DVD will be
$25.00
** If you purchase the Compilation DVD you may purchase
the individual lecture DVDs for
$15.00
These may be in any combination that you wish. You don't have to buy the entire set to get the $15.00 price on the individual classes and lectures. They may be purchased with the Compilation Two DVD Set, to get the reduced price of $15.00 each.
If you add up the totals of buying them each by themselves you will get 11 DVDs times $25.00 equals $275.00 plus the compilation Two DVD Set at $40.00 is a total of $315.00 for the complete set.
So the package price of $250.00 saves you a big $65.00 on the set.
For the folks who don't want the complete set but who do buy the Main Compilation Two DVD Set you will be saving $10.00 on each DVD that you get of the individual classes.
The TWO DVD COMPILATION SET$39.95 Includes from six to ten minutes of each lecture or presentation Plus the opening ceremonies and introductions.
You will see a tour of the MacroSystem Headquarters in Germany and a short message for Beachy and Reverend Bob from the United Kingdom to all of our attendees at the 3rd Annual "March Get Together" in Moline, Illinois.
