I purchased a 2004 F250 SD super cab 4x4 FX4. Recently I installed a lift. Suspension in the front and block and suspension in the rear. During the installation a friend filmed the entire process. It is at this point rough cut on a DVD about 25 minutes worth. BTW - my friend does professional level work.
Tomorrow, we are going to finish up the filming, clearing up some shots, different angles on others and etc, add the narration and place in the bloopers at the end. The entire DVD will be about 40 minutes or so. Chapter selection, freeze framing and all the atributes that go with a DVD.
We are considering a price of $19.95, with a 3 dollar or so shipping and handling. It will be in a non-copable format.
So - my question is, will it sell? We figure that two markets will be interested. Those considering doing the lift, see the DVD and decide that they would rather have someone else do the work - and - those that see the DVD and decide to do it themselves and use the DVD as reference material for the lift...
Just make sure you can't be liable for any "lifts gone wrong." You know, the individuals that watch your video, say I can do that, then let their truck drop off the jacks or something and come after you....
It would sell if you had bikini clad girls doing it...maybe rubbing a little grease on each other............Playing with a big breaker bar......I got to go...
yes, but like deacjrt said, make sure you but a DISCLAIMER on there
If you want to protect yourself as much as possible, form a corporation, sell the video to the corporation and let the corp. market it. Get both general liability and product liability insurance for the corp. and yourselves as well.

Ahhh - yes, excellent advice...
The greasy bikini advice was good too...
And the corporation. I have a side business that is incorporated so I could use that too...
I hope your copy protection is better than your spelling.
On side note: Nothing is non-copyable

I wouldn't use any existing business for a venture like this, I would form a new company solely for this purpose, and market through there. For accounting, tax, auditing, just a cleaner way to do business. The greasy girl video might work, as long as Yeti doesn't pick the girls. Yeti's chicks make superdutys look like hotwheels.
Just speaking from experience, I remember when Sony announced copy protected cd's, they spent millions on a technology to stop illegal copying of music. It was to revolutionize the industry ...
and someone found out you hold down the shift key disables the protection when putting the cd in a computer
