I think it would be interesting to hear about what we do with MS. For example, some questions that would be interesting to ask:

Do you have your own video business?
Is it full time or part time?
What types of video do you typically produce?
What equipment do you use? What software?
How do you charge for services?

Since I opened the topic, I guess it's fair for me to start it off:

I produce DVDs as a part-time business. I'm a software engineer by trade. Goal is to do a biz like this full-time as soon as I figure out proper niche and a way to promote/market/charge -- you know; the basics.

I typically produce sports (soccer) season DVDs, and other projects for small organizations and individuals.

I use a Sony VX2100 camera, with a shotgun mic attached (usually). Always use a tripod. I do not have a light kit or other sound equipment. Moderate PC: 1.8GHz with a total of about 500Gb storage. I do not have a direct-to-disc printer or a multiple-disc burner.

I use MS 4.0 and will start using DVDA Studio. In the past I've used DVD X Maker and DVD-Lab, Studio 8 (yech). Burn with Nero, but may try DVDA.

I have no real biz strategy for charging for services...I play it by ear. (Maybe this is why I only do this part time so far!). If I do not do the filming myself, and if there is limited editing required, I'll charge by the estimated length of the project. Otherwise, I'll charge per hour for filming and editing. Most of my clients are small and cannot afford to spend a great deal of money. I'll typically sell extra copies of a DVD fro $20 - $35 each.
