QUESTIONS:
- Can I download onto a Mac Computer?
- What is the Video Player Interface?
- Can I play my video on a different computer?
- What happens if my computer crashes a few months from now?
- Can I copy my video to a DVD?
- How much free space do I need to run the Video Player?
Can I download on Mac?
You and Steve Jobs can both download on your Macs now.
What is the Video Player Interface?
Video Player is ellusionist's PC-only interface which allows you to view all of your downloaded videos and gives you a bunch of free stuff too. The whole thing is completely free and widely used by more than 150,000 people around the word. You download it and install it to your computer like any other software.
Can I play my video on a different computer?
Yes. Have at it. Don't give the file away though because we don't like that.
What happens if my computer crashes a few months from now?
For the love of all that's magic BACK UP YOUR VIDEO TO A CD. You'll pay dearly ($5!) if your machine crashes and you want to download it again (the $5 is for admin time, employee late night field trips to the 2 AM Club, donuts, and bandwidth of your big fat download).
Can I copy the video to a DVD?
Yes you can. But if you then give it away to someone else we'll send the old lady from our refund page after you.
How much free space do I need to run the Video Player?
Video Player requires a squandering 9 MB of free space to install; however, in order to download and play a full big fat movie on your computer, you should have at least 400 free MB. If you do not have sufficient free space, we recommend purchasing the video in DVD format.
So much mind blowing content is included in the XB DVD Double Volume Set, full retail should be about $90.
For beginner through intermediate, almost 4 hours of pro tips, valuable information, secrets of performing and promoting yourself and incredible moves you will NOT find anywhere else (and introducing the brand new "Perching" concept that is revolutionizing XCM)....
