superbecks Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Could anyone please tell me where I could buy The Primary/Pre Primary dvd that's not £41 on the RAD site? Or is anyone selling it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 You can't get it cheaper anywhere else so your only hope is to buy a second hand copy but most people that have it are teachers and wouldn't be selling it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circe Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 RAD dvds come up on ebay from time to time but not a good way to buy them if you want them in a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Wonder why that DVD is so much more expensive than the others? How strange. Welcome to the forum by the way, Superbecks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I'm sure they all used to be about £48! So they're gradually getting cheaper!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdance Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 If you are looking to learn the work, especially with PP and P the best way is to go to a local RAD examiner (who will also be a teacher) and ask if you can watch or even better, assist with the classes. The work has a fair few elements that are not 'set in stone' ie there are certain steps that need doing but the order and formation are up to the teacher. If you end up getting on well with the examiner, they may well be able to give you a copy of their DVD too! If you are a parent, can you ask your childs teacher if they have a copy?

Picturesinthefirelight Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 They are more expensive because they come as a set of two I just checked with IDS and even on a trade account come to £40.80 with postage on top so there is no discount.

Aurora Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 The grades 1-3 is 3 DVDs and costs £29. Seems daft! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturesinthefirelight Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Are you sure. The website just says Grade 1-3 DVD whereas the Pre Primary says set of two and lists content for DVD 1 & DVD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Yes I've got it and it's a set of 3 DVDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbecks Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Thanks for all your replies, I am an active teacher just seem to have misplaced Primary on my laptop?? I have all the other grades and I know how respectively cheap all the other grades are in comparison that's why I begrudge paying it! I think I may have located a copy that I can borrow from a friend so fingers crossed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinkletoes Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 as soon as I get any training DVD's like this i import them straight into itunes and get them on the ipod, it saves me panicking when I realise i've 'filed' the DVD somewhere safe, it also means i can sync all the staff ipods with it to save playing 'pass the DVD' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I didn't know you could import DVDs to iTunes, how do you do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle_Richer Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 One option is to use NCH's "Debut Video Capture Software", that will capture anything that is displayed on the PC/laptop screen with sound, as its on your screen its not looking at the original copywrite protection restrictions that are in place. You have the ability to highlight only the area of the screen you want to copy, the output file formats are as follows: .AVI, .WMV, .ASF,.MPG, .3GP, .MP4, .MOV, .FLV(YouTube), IPOD, PSP, iPhone, Xbox 360, Playstation 3. However you will loose any menu selections that were present in the original software, but that can be managed on a PC by saving to small files with logical names. NCH also has file conversion software, however it does observe copywrite protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdance Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Twinkletoes - staff iPods sound brilliant.... Do you mean each person using their personal iPod or are they provided by the studio/school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinkletoes Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Aurora: I use Videora ipod converter it runs on a Mac but i think there are PC versions available DrDance: I find more and more schools use i-pods now and many staff have their own, I don't mind if staff put it on their own or borrow the schools ipods, once its in a format itunes can read you can easily transfer it to a USB pen and then the staff can copy it into their own itunes system which means that they don't have to sync with your directory all the time, many teachers i know have ipods they use for teaching, i prefer the classic ipod as it holds much more and the videos are clear but once its itunes it can be viewed on the larger screen of a computer screen anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mallinson Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I think we need to exercise care here as the discussion has veered into an area that we should avoid - that is the copying and distribution of copyright material. As I understand it at present UK law does not permit the copying of cds or dvds even for one's own use (though very many people think that it does and do so). The rules are different in different countries and the situation is under review in the UK and will doubtless change. At present copying is in breach of UK copyright law so please, no discussion of means of circumventing copy protection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 CDs can be copied into different formats for personal use, not sure about DVDs though. If its for professional use you need a pro-dub licence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mallinson Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Aurora, I've looked long and hard for anything which agrees with you. The most recent article I've found is this from December 21 2012 which says that such copying is to be made legal in the UK this year. As far as I know the legislation has not gone through.

Aurora Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 This document explains that a produb is needed if its for professional use which would seem to imply that you don't need a licence if its for personal use...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think your optimism is justified! Produb seems to be a useful channel through which music creators can collect their royalties and users can pay for the use of copyright material. Both parties have to be signed up. It doesn't look like a system that has relevance to personal use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Copyright is a legal minefield (hubby is a songwriter, and friend works for PRS) so it's only really safe to assume that you can't copy anything unless express permission is given. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxi4ballet Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Oh, it's not that exciting, he co-wrote with a friend years ago,, and it was covered by someone and released on an album. He gets about 35p a year in royalties! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
