Look at it this way, let's say you have a good title and it cost you 15k like you just stated. then the first 15 k you make is breaking even. I assume you do that on the web now. (I am assuming because I do not know your situation, so don't take it wrong). then there is your DVD distribution deal. A good title could do 5000 pieces US based sales. Let's keep the $6.00 price per pc. That's 30k. Then a good distributor will make foreign deals. Some distributors sell pieces to other distributors in foreign countries but a GOOD distributor will sell a license for a particular country.

Now you start pulling in some serious cash, Holland about $1500 per title, Germany about $5000 per title, Italy about $3500 per title. Well you get the idea, once you are doen whoring your title out that cost you 15 k you can made that back times 10.

The trick is not to get screwed over, how do you know if your distibutor sold a license to some country you never heard about for a few G's? It's a tricky business.

I am not trying to attack you AsianDivaGirlsWebDude, just showing you that when done right there is a ton of money in DVD's. And then we are not even talking about all the other rights a good distributor sells. Pay Per View channels. Hotel chains etc.
