Default Which MUST HAVE lampworking DVD's?

Which do you consider are the BEST, Must Have lampworking DVD's?

If you're so inclined perhaps you could specify the ones for newbies as well as for more experienced lampworkers.

I'd recommend youtube. The only dvd I have is Chris Buzzinis but there is some great stuff for free online.

Chris's dvd is top notch, but IMO vacuum encasing is not something a person could attempt with just a DVD.

There are so many to choose from ...

Do you want to work boro, soft glass, or ultra soft?

Beads, pendants, marbles, pipes, sculpture?

Beginner level or advanced?

ok, At the beginning I'll be trying to master 104 glass. I expect eventually I'll want to try out boro too. I want to learn beads, marbles and sculpture and murrini...and maybe paperweights. lol Starting at the beginning and working towards advanced. I've already purchased about a dozen to learn from hopefully.

I want to know what everyones favorites were and why since there are a good number of dvd's out there on a number of lampworking subjects and I want advice to help me choose wisely! I'll start at the very beginning and work my way through as my skills increase, however long that takes.

For more advance techniques
The Aquarium bead / Pati Walton
How to vol. 4, Flower in Glass (English subtitled) --

Just bought
