All discs are "DVD" format. Instruction and discussion is translated to English in many sections on Disc A, and otherwise Chinese (mandarin) on the others as of yet. The translation become a very big job due to technological issues, so the rest of it will have to wait for financial and time allowances.

The filming is mostly unrehearsed and natural. The source material comes from Chinese VCD's so the video quality is only perhaps a bit better than that would be, it is not digital HD video, but clear enough to see what is happening. The original source material that this was transferred from was not perfect and occasionally there are small dropped frames, nothing I could do about it. The advantage to DVD is that the media is more reliable, will last longer and have less or no playback issues on a wide range of systems. The visual quality is I think also a bit better due to the type of video compression used.

The applications are ranging from basic to unpredictable, and the single movement details are especially useful to learners and experienced alike. There is a wealth of useful information on these disks as well as just being very fun to watch for those interested in Chen Taijiquan.

These discs are not available in stores in China or elsewhere. They are only available through this website (and through Master ChenYu in VCD format in Mandarin only.
