They were set to re-release this great instructional video in electronic format back in February, but it looks like it got pushed back to March 15th. Still super stoked that this is going to be available again. I haven't been able to find it anywhere.

Why do I have the sinking feeling that this is just going to be delayed indefinitely

I got the impression that they're just a little mom-and-pop operation. I thought it was pretty ridiculous that they didn't have a DVD version in this day and age.

The emails I got from the folks at Video Progressions said it's in WMV and MP4 formats. I'm sure if you had a DVD burner you could certainly put it on a DVD from there... no clue about the legality of such, probably fine as long as you don't distribute it.
