The problem with a DVD is that Christi can't use great music due to the enormous amount you have to pay to use great music. With offering them free on Youtube Christi can get around this issue.

If she filmed in HD, the quality will be fantastic. They're very easy to download, and pretty darn easy to create your own DVD is a person wants it on DVD.

I agree! Strange that everyone praises Jessica Smith for making youtube videos, but Christi gets criticized

I don't think anyone is criticizing, per se, just voicing a preference for dvd. And IIRC, Jessica Smith fans were very vocal about her choosing to release some workouts as download only, and due to the collective outcry, she decided to release them on dvd as well. So maybe if people let their opinions be known, Christi may decide to release to dvd.

Personally, I liked Pure Spice, but it's definitely at the bottom of the Christi love pile. So I don't care either way

There are ways around the music issue - Cathe & Leslie Sansone dealt with it by altering lyrics or using remixes of popular songs. I do not (& don't want to) workout using my computer and I do not have the desire or software to make a DVD/DVR.

As for Jessica, I have seen some of her youtube workouts and wish they were on a compilation DVD for those of us who don't use the computer!

I hope those that do want DVDs also express this to Christi via email or her FB page so she knows! I'd hate to see DVDs no longer being made.

Would like a DVD, but I do prefer the moves and music on Christi's YouTube dances over the spice DVD, so I'm happy with this news.

I prefer DVD because I live in a rural area and have slow internet so downloading something would take forever and that is if it doesn't stop in the middle. So this is no option for me.

It is DVD or nothing. I have tried some youtube stuff and it will work fine for a few minutes then it starts to pause, play, pause play so that is no fun when trying to workout.

Glad others can enjoy

I just discovered Christi's free youtube dances (one was posted just a few days ago) and I'm so excited to try these. I'm having a lot of knee issues and have to take a break from TA cardio, so these will be perfect! They look so fun!

Wow, I check Christi's You Tube page pretty often for new videos, and there's been nothing new for a year... I wonder if she realizes she has two sites, and she's not uploading to both of them. The one with more dances has not been updated with these new dances...

Site with lots of dances: https://www.youtube.com/user/ChristiTaylorFIT/videos

Site with only a few:
https://www.youtube.com/user/spikermonkey/videos

Weird, and I'm so glad for the recent post to this thread that brought the new videos to my attention. I'll look at them later--can't wait to try new stuff from Christi
