  I have some expertise & some equipment; But I plan on getting 
more shortly anyways (and could run it too).

  Something to consider is encoding the videos and could ship them 
on dvd/blueray. Hmmm, with dvd it would have to be avi/mkv's 
while on blueray if the options allow could use the player rather 
than having a computer file format, then it's only a matter of 
time before I can have them all burned.

  On the other hand, if we have something like 1000 people wanting 
discs, it might be possible to have them made once we make the 
original (course the minimum may be 50,000 which wouldn't be an 
option at this time).

  But if we consider almost everyone has the internet and youtube 
is available and allows HD and long submissions for this type of 
stuff that quickly seems like a silly option.
