Luthier's Pride requests your help and expertise.
Anyone can offer advice. It's all appreciated.

Zip it up and upload as a zip file. You can use WinZip.

Andy is right, if it's really need to be uploaded than you need either rename it or place into archive. Since executable files like .exe may be forbidden by some hosts.
(I assume you don't plan to upload whole DVD disk or I'm wrong? as if whole disk than the only way is to create ISO from it or Zip it).

Also, if you want to sell information that is distributed on a DVD/CD there are some free services such as www.kunaki.com They just take a cut of your sales price in exchange for burning the discs, posting them and handling the customers.

Thanks everyone!
I will try the zip method.
We want to upload chapters to various sites like we have on u-tube, but not with the u-tube embedded icon ect.
Any ideas on the site in general? We would like to increase our advertising to "overseas" markets; Europe and Japan, mostly.
Any thoughts you can share would be appreciated. We are just learning.

you can try Metacafe as it use only small star icon: http://www.metacafe.com
But if you wish logotype free video than you'll probably have to upload them on own hosting.

I'm from Eastern Europe (Ukraine), I know that many people here using Google as their main search engine, I guess that people in Western Europe also use it a lot so maybe you can try AdSence campaign with targeting countries you're interested in.
Of course it depends how much you'd like to invest into marketing campaign, I guess it may be cheaper to approach some regional sites about musical instruments for example.

Not sure what about Japan, Andy coming from here, maybe he could give some suggestions.

BTW you can put your signature in the profile, this way you'll don't have to attach it to the each post as it will appear automatically.

just another idea...
I've hard times finding shop which ship worldwide and sometimes Ebay come in help, I found a lot of international retailers with it's help so you may wish to open Ebay store there so people find out about you(there is no need to have all items from your shop sold there, just few to find about your shop, you may place URL to it in goods description).

Russ,

to do business in Japan requires physical contact with people and building relationships.

I have some friends in the entertainment business so it is possible for me to act as an introduction agent. But you need to be able to fly out to Japan and meet the business contacts and pay for nights out and stuff.

Specifically, you would need to spend at least a weekend in Osaka and take a group of people out to expensive bars and afterwards present your business proposal to them.

PM me if you want to take this further.
