Do they have a setup fee? That's usually the killer when the files are updated frequently: too expensive for TDF/LO to provide the service. (That's one reason the user guides are provided through Lulu: no setup fees.) --Jean On Thursday, January 2, 2014, Christopher Walsh wrote:
There is a very affordable print on demand service called Kunaki<http://www.kunaki.com/> in NY that specializes in automated small run DVD burning. They burn data as well as movie files. When you add shipping via US Mail, the total per disc is around $5 (US only). $1 dollar for the disc and $ 4.30 for shipping. I like that Kunaki would always be available, they even offer a publish-at-no-cost solution, which would let people order directly from Kunaki. Alternatively, I do have replicator and printer at home, and am willing to fill in short term for small orders.

So, is there any USA person who might be willing to take the NA-DVD.isofile, 1- download it, 2 - use the included label file[s] to print directly into the media, 3 - and ship it to USA people who would like the DVD. I charge the person Priority mail rates and a fee for the media [etc.]. So this is not a free service. There are people who wants the DVD [4.1.4 or 4.0.6] right now, but Ihavebeen in and out of the hospital and have difficulty going to the doctor office, let alone the post office. So I could use a volunteer to dothistype of work. The NA-DVD project was designed to make the DVD available, in both a.isodownload file and a physical media that users could get access to. The .iso file part is on the LO server system, but the providing of the physical media is the issue at this time. To be honest, if there was someone in Canada and the other English speaking regions that could do this for their regions/countries, it would be welcome. So, with my health issues, I can no longer provide the burned/printed media, for the at least a month or two, or longer. So is there anyone in the USA who would be willing to make and ship the physical LO NA-DVD project DVD[s]? Tim LungstromTim, sorry to hear about your health problems. Hope you improve as quickly as possible. All, this may be a good incentive for us to investigate commercial services that will burn, label, and ship single or multiple DVDs. For example, http://www.publishmymedia.com/index.html (Note: I know nothing about that particular service and have never used them; it's just an example of what's available.) No doubt some, or most, charge too much in upfront (setup) costs to be viable, but worth investigating I think. If I have time over the next few weeks, I'll investigate it myself. --JeanI think some of these print on demand services we looked into and the costs were not good for the single disc ordering. But that was lastyear,Also, every few months we have a new version of LO to deal with for aDVD.Right now, the 4.1.x line is ready[?] to take over the distribution ofLOfrom the "stable" 4.0.6 version of the DVD. At least that is what itlookslike on the "lists". So if we make a print-on-demand service DVDavailablefor 4.1.4, it will be replaced by 4.1.5 or 4.1.6? As for just burning the DVD and handing them out. . . . Well, that is a good thing to do for friends, but for businesses you need something more professional looking. The DVD contains the label artwork so after you download the DVD .iso file, you can burn the DVD onto printable media and then use your media printing "printer" to print the "professionallooking"label. You can get a Canon printer that prints onto CDs and DVDs forunder$100 USD. I have two of them, but only use
