Online Videos or DVD

I am looking for some instructional methods on bowing technique either to view on the web or buy on dvd. I am a newbie and have only really played pizz. style with jazz groups. Any suggestions? They're appreciated.

Thanks
Sam

You may want to check out Art of the Bow by Francois Rabbath or if you can get a copy of it Gary Karr has a video called Bassically Karr... Overall the videos may be a bit advanced for a beginner, but in both videos they discuss the basics of their technique. - Also make note that these two bassists have very different techniques, you can probably find a lot more info on this board about the differences.
