DVD-ROM versus DVD-Video
A DVD-ROM is a data disc that only plays on a computer (Mac or Windows PC), not on a TV or regular stand alone DVD player. A DVD-Video plays on regular DVD players as well as computers. DVD-ROM offers the benefit of the QuickTime slider that allows you to easily and quickly navigate around each movie, going from one point to another in seconds. This is generally more convenient that fast forwarding or reversing in a regukar DVD player. DVD-ROM can play at higher resolution (in this case 800 x 600 pixels) than a DVD-Video (720 x 480 pixels), and gives better reproduction of details near the edge of the screen. This DVD set is a DVD-ROM.

What to Buy?
I recommend starting off with my book, Painter X Creativity: Digital Artist's Handbook, and introductory DVD, Learning Corel Painter X with Jeremy Sutton. The book is a great complement to all my other materials and also serves as the required text book for all my classes. The book goes deeper and broader than any DVD. It also provides covenient step lists for many of the techniques shared on the DVDs. The Learning Corel Painter X DVD gives you a good overview of the software.
Once you are familiar with the basics then I recommend the more advanced DVD sets, How to Paint from Photographs Using Corel Painter X - Creative Techniques with Jeremy Sutton
and Expanding Your Creativity with Jeremy Sutton - The Art of Collage Portraiture. Both these more advanced DVD sets take you through real-life case studies from beginning to end, sharing along the way my work-flow, organizational systems, creative process, decision-making strategies, techniques and tools, plus including extensive extra brushes, art materials, tutorial images and more. In these two DVD sets I share cross-media techniques that show how I work with different programs and apply traditional media onto my prints.
If you are keen to dive in deeply and work through all my materials then I recommend my Ultimate Collection 2007 which includes all the items mentioned above at a discounted price (roughly equivalent to having the Learning Corel Painter X DVD thrown in for free).
