I'd like my site to be free AND pay. I want to give the surfer the opportunity to purchase any video. But to acquire and keep the traffic, I want to give them free stuff.

The free (and pay) stuff will be either in an avi or wmv format, rather than mpeg. I have a freeware avi/wmv movie splitter and joiner. When it comes to splitting and rejoining files, avi and wmv formats are best. You can rejoin these split files and not see evidence that they've been split. I actually tried a shareware mpeg joiner, and the results look like crap. Thank goodness I didn't pay for the thing. I'll deal with mpegs only if I don't have to split them. I'll give my surfers instructions on how to retrieve/install the codecs and use the freeware utilities that I will provide them. I hope to make it worth their while.

My freeware movie splitter and joiner may not be the best out there. Do you have recommendations?

I have a strategy for my surfers, that I won't disclose just yet, that will eliminate/reduce the need for high speed internet access to view my movies.

Regarding the model release form, eventually, I'd like to take on film production.
