Numismatic DVDs-Are Collectors Buying These?

As I have begun building a numismatic reference collection, and have also been adding DVDs. David Lissot (www.coinvideo.com) offers many titles. Some interesting ones, that I have copies of, include the following:
ANA: Detecting Counterfeit and Altered U. S. Coins [2 DVDs] (J. P. Martin)
ANA93-037: How to Grade Early U.S. Coppers (Denis Loring)
ANA04-029: Numismatic Forgery: Mark Hofmann and Me (Charles Larson)
EAC07-008: How to Build a Library for Early American Copper Coins (John Kraljevich)
EAC08-002: Comparison of Market and Technical Grading (Panel Discussion)

Are other collectors also buying DVDs? If so, which ones?

    I received a Krause German Coins DVD at CICF. I tried it out and I am very impressed!
    Easy to search and fast!
    I will be buying more titles as needed.

    Go to Lissot's website and see if anything you are interested in has a preview icon.
    Some of the titles are good, some are real duds.

    Thank you. I went to the site & watched quite a few of them. Sort of drove me
    crazy with a 25-30 minute dvd & the preview is 4-5 min. of introducing someone.
    Hadn't heard of this site & thank you for telling us. The people on the dvd's are
    tops & some of the subjects sound fascinating.

    The Krause Standard Catalog of World Coins series come with DVDs now. I really like them due to the ability to do searches, and not having to leave the computer to look something up. I expect most texts such the Red Book will be available this way in the near future.
