Mike, If, as you say >> The key question is of course is "Can the process be made to pay for itself through sales?" could you tell us what you are thinking of in terms of marketing the Italian DVD you are working on? We're always looking for good materials in Italian. best, bruce Bruce Parkhurst Boston University ---you wrote--- >From: "Michael Bush" <[log in to unmask]> >To: "Language Learning and Technology International Information = Forum" <[log in to unmask]> >Subject: RE: #5428.5 Popular DVD movies... >Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2000 00:40:58 -0700 ------------------ Ken Carpenter: [...] This is not a cheap process, although it is getting cheaper. We recently completed what we think is the first DVD of a feature movie prepared especially for language learning, a DVD of the classic Italian film, C'eravamo tanto amati. We put 6 different sub-title tracks in English and Italian, as well as a menu structure so the disc is easily accessible from a standard home player. I am at present finishing a teacher's guide that will contain barcodes of the script of the entire film. All of this is not a trivial process, but it is indeed doable. The key question is of course is "Can the process be made to pay for itself through sales?"
