(It's a great tool.) Thanks for the kind words! I have to admit to smiling with pleasure at the idea that someone is enjoying the fruits of our labors. I thought a word of explanation would be in order as to why there is no option for viewing the movie straight through rather than just scene-by-scene. This decision was based on our licensing agreement (the intellectual property question rears its head again!!), which gives us permission to produce "interactive software" and not a conventional movie release. The disc really is designed for language learning rather than for a normal movie viewing, so we understand Ed's desire for a version that can be viewed as one would other films. I regret that I do not know where such a version can be obtained. I can assure you that we will seek broader rights in the future, but even the longest voyage begins by one small step.

(It's a great tool.) Facets tells me that it is OOP (new web acronym on my part. Ursula - please include in glossary.) Other distribs say the same. I have found other supposedly out of print vids in the past by posting here. Any knowledge of its existence elswhere? Say I wanted to check a distributor in Italy - any thoughts about whom to call?
