The Church has just released a set of four DVDs that contains over 300 visual resources, including videos, art, charts, quotes, and study activities that can enhance the teaching and learning of principles and doctrines from the Doctrine and Covenants and Church history in homes and Church classrooms.
Contents of the Doctrine & Covenants and Church History Visual Resource DVD:
Discs 1 and 2 contain over 300 visual resources and study activities tied to the Doctrine and Covenants and Church history.
Disc 3 contains five additional movies, including Joseph Smith: The Prophet of the Restoration, Legacy, and Only a Stonecutter.
Disc 4 contains the still pictures and narrated text from the book Doctrine and Covenants Stories (1983 edition).
The DVD set is available in English now and will be available in Spanish and Portuguese by January 2011. You can order it online at store.lds.org for US $4.50 (item 08042)
A similar set of DVDs, Old Testament Visual Resource DVDs was released last year.
Do you know if there are plans to release “Joseph Smith: The Prophet of the Restoration” as a stand-alone title? I hate to think about what encoding five movies on one dual-layer DVD will do to the film’s gorgeous 65mm visuals. Blu-ray would be ideal, but I don’t expect the Church to adopt that format soon, if ever.
Bryan, I’m not aware of any plans to release it as a stand-alone. The package has 4 DVDs and the intent was to put about everything the Church has about Church History into one affordable package. The whole set is only $4.50.
The church catalog says there are 3 DVDs but you say 4. So, what’s up? Is it 3 or 4?
John,
I think maybe you clicked on the wrong link above.
There are two links above:
1. A link to the new D&C DVD, which has 4 DVDs in it.
2. A link to the Old Testament DVD, which has 3 DVDs in it.
The catalog descriptions are correct.
Is this completely different from the 3-dvd set just called “Church History” in the Home and Family collection? Or are some of the dvds the same? Thanks!
YO TENGO UNA GRAN DUDA, SI SACARON LOS VIDEOS DEL ANTIGUO TESTAMENTO COMO RECURSO PARA CLASES Y OTROSY AHORA EN ENERO YA ESTA DOCTRINA Y CONVENIOS Y LA HISTORIA DE LA IGLESIA EN ESPAÑOL NO SERIA LOGICO QUE MAS BIEN ESTUVIERA EL DEL NUEVO TESTAMENTO PARA EL ESTUDIO DE ESTE AÑO COMO AYUDA PARA LAS CLASES? SABE SI HAY ALGO DE ESTO EN PLANES?
Mary Liddy,
Existen todavía los videos del nuevo testamento que servirán para el curso de estudio para el año 2011. Véase http://store.lds.org/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product3_10705_10551_22028_-1__195821
Están elaborarando un nuevo juego de videos pero cuestan 2 o 3 años para elaborarlos. Estarán para el próximo curso de estudio en 2015.
Why doesnt the Disc 3 have any subtitles while the Disc 1 and 2 have one. I really want to see that part and and unable to understand it. please reply!!!!
P Salmond, in order to display the sub-titles on Disc #3 the user just has to click the sub-title menu button on their remote. When they do the sub-titles are available on the entire disc.
P Salmond, the producer tells me that due to space constraints on the DVD, there is no subtitle selection button on the menus of disc 3 but subtitles are on the disc.
To activate the subtitles, you MUST first start the video segment. Once the segment is started, push the SUBTILE button on the DVD player remote control. This should activate the subtitle feature of the video.
You may have to follow this procedure for each video segment depending on the model of DVD player.
