Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Varies.. depending on 1/ which video  and 2 how many you buy in one  
order.
Probably about $30.   (less any coupon discounts)
They are downloadable to your MAC, you play then via their NED  
program.. But you can also burn them (along with NED to a DVD for  
transportability and backup.. The Burn option is  a NED button.

They also offer discounts.  Right now there is a back to school  
discount so  if you apply the 09bts33 coupon code to your purchase you  
get a 33% discount  ;-)
I think this is only for September...
