@Gryphon I thought about that especially trying to get some foundation dvds to advance my knowledge etc but according to the law here I can’t really use paypal to do money transfers and all.

ethana2, the Big Buck Bunny DVD does have the movie in Ogg Theora format.

@tyrant monkey:
I don’t know the situation in different areas, but PayPal can be used with a bank account, so you shouldn’t need a credit card if that’s all that’s stopping you…

@ethana2 The open movie projects are not done in the name of advancing open source, the are done in the name of advancing Blender even if other open source tools are used. Personally i dislike the mess that all codecs have generated. Having to wade through an alphabeta soup of codecs to watch video p*sses me off to no great end.

Back on topic I wish I had a credit card to contribute getting 3 dvds for 34 euros is great deal and the money goes to a great endeavour such as this.

While I appreciate all the work that goes into these projects and into blender, I find doing them in the name of advancing open source and then turning around and dismissing open source codecs for their physical distribution quite hypocritical.

I paid for one to get my name in the credits but had it sent to a kid in Brisbane because the discs didn’t come with .ogg theora or dirac. When google opens the source and patents behind On2’s VP8, I expect a VP8 version to ship on those discs. Maybe I’ll actually want a set, and pay for another one.

Gotta love those MRTG-like graphs, I must admit that the unit cost for this one is slightly hampered by the piss poor exchange rate the pound to euro is atm.

I’ll pre-order, no doubt, but it’ll be once I get some other things tended to 1st :D

Is there the ability to pay by check? I don’t do credit card purchases over the interweb, but would still like to see money go to Blender 2.5 development…
