Well, it all comes down to what people think something is worth to them I guess. I cannot really tell Ron what his particular prices should be because Im not a potential customer, I dont know what the stuff is worth. I was meaning to say that when talking about the wider theory of selling video online, the sorts of numbers Ron was using as examples might not apply to too many niches, with big implications for the profitability of such ideas, and thus perhaps an explanation for the relative lack of enthusism compared to what Ron was hoping for from this thread.
I know Apple have some developer videos that costs hundreds of dollars, I dont know the runtime, I assume its many hours, and that its price can be justified for some developers because the knowledge it contains will help them make money. It also occurs to me that yesterdays Apple keynote included details of music tutorial videos that could be purchased, as part of Garageband or something - I wasnt really paying attention to the detail at the time, I forget how much they charge and dont know how long the videos are, but I think the main selling point was that they featured known musicians doing the training, and thus have the promise of a certain level of professionalism and desirability. Plus as Apple are pushing these things, they can sell bucketloads due to their promotional powers, a subject I always rant about when thinking of indie video on the net, promotion is one area the mass media and other corporations still rule supreme.
