Good suggestions -- thanks! There is a chance the entire run will fit on one DVD. If not, your ideal of labeling them makes a lot of sense.

CTT 25 Year DVD - Please do not repeat MRR 75 year DVD issue

Hi CCT Staff!

I am very happy you plan to release the CTT series on DVD like the MRR 75 year DVD. I really enjoy the MRR DVD set which also allowed me to recycle a lot of paper.

However - a major issue with the MRR 3 DVD set is there is no separate index of which magazines are on which of the 3 MRR DVDs. Please do not confuse this with the searchable index. If one opens the index and sees a magazine cover/year/month issue you wish to view - one has to guess which DVD it is on - and with the loading time of each DVD this is a challenge.

PLEASE publish a separate note with the set (best to print it on each DVD) that (for example) Disk 1 covers August 1987 to December 2005 and Disk 2 covers January 2006 to December 2014.

I can already see from the e-mail I received on the 25 year set that the photos of the two DVDs simply show Disk 1 and Disk 2. 

Regards, Roy
