Not bad if you are starting out, the entire set sells for about $120.00 new, so renting is a bargain to focus on the DVDs you want to learn. A little dated, probably 2000 - 2002. Not bad though
Rented-DVD 3 Sound Success: The Essential Guide To Audio For Video As part of "Videography University"
OK this is an old title (2002) and very hard to sit through. Primary DVD production quality is cheesy. Chapters are covered by different "employees" and very on quality of information and production value. Overall it feels like it was originally a free gift to a magazine subscription. Not an "Essential Guide" might be called a 101 class....maybe
