What do some of you use to allow the parents to buy game films and what is the cost? I have game fime solutions this year, and am getting overwhelmed with parents and kids wanting DVD's. Is there website they can pay to go to, to just download the films?

VidSwap.com. They currently don't allow payments for downloading games...but you could easily upload all of your games and charge parents what ever you wanted for log in access. You can easily create a guest account that gives them access to only the video you want them to have. FYI - This is a feature they will be adding for next season.

GFS does offer a package where they will sell the videos as a season set online. I don't remember the link for it, but I am sure your GFS rep would know.

No DVD tower. How much do they cost?

If the parents bring you the blank discs, why not just burn them a copy for free? Do you have a DVD tower? This is what I do. Anyone can bring in discs and I will burn for them. I just burnt the season on 2 discs (4 games each) for our starting running back to show his dad over Thanksgiving (dad lives out of state and has never seen him play). All it costs is my time.

dvd tower is the way to go. Ours takes less than 5 min to burn 5 dvds.

I charge $5 a game... If a kid buys all 10 games, he gets the highlight film free. if you make it free, then you are wasting time burning coasters. If they fork over 5 bucks, it eliminates the people who are just wanting to get one cause it's free and don't really care.
I use my personal CPU to burn it, and haven't had any issues the last couple of years. The $5 just goes toward paying for our banquet, or purchasing new DVD's and Cases anyway, so it's not like I'm trying to make any money.
We're thinking of getting a DVD tower though

With the tower do are you just using whatever program you have and then sending it to burn through the tower or is it as simple as put the disc in one tray and then hit a copy button?

Put a disk in the master, put in anywhere from 1 - 7 blanks and press "copy." Takes about 2 minutes to make 7 copies of a game.
It is a totally free-standing self contained unit. Does not hook up to anything.
