It would be wonderful if the video clips of the variation of the week were enabled for copy. As I understand it, the ".ram" format is specifically designed to disallow saving to a local drive (".ra" or ".rm" DO allow one to save the file to hard disk). This is disappointing...and frustrating, as well... as I often do not have time to truly explore the move when I see it on the Internet. At such times I am surfing the web and may not even have a partner available.

Won't you re-evaluate your policy on this?

We provide both RealVideo and Quicktime files for viewing video. The RealVideo files are not downloadable (unless you own the RealPlayer Plus), but the Quicktime files actually are.

To download the video clips, you'll have to bring up the video clip in its own window (there's a link on the video clip page for this). Once the video has completely loaded onto the page, click on the little down arrow located in the lower right hand corner of the video player. This will bring up a drop-down menu which enables you to save.

We also have a CD-ROM of previous variations available for sale in our online store at www.ballroomdancers.com/Shopping/

Thank you for your feedback.

Sincerely,
Jonathan Atkinson www.ballroomdancers.com
