“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life,” Jobs said. “Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

OUR GMV PRINCIPLES OF DOING BUSINESS
1. The Guiding Principle.
We believe in doing what's right for our customers. All our staff understand that idea. Our sales and mail-order staff are trained to be competent, accurate, fast and courteous. They will do whatever is necessary to satisfy your requests and fill your order promptly.
2. We ship fast.
99% of all items we offer are always in stock due to the fact that we own the master tapes/DVDs, do our own duplication and do not have to rely on outside suppliers.
90% of all orders are shipped within 24 hours and many go out the same day the order is received.
Some unavoidable delays due occur from time to time with imported stock where other suppliers often do not follow our principles of fast delivery.
3. Competitive prices.
We have held our regular base DVD retail price of $39.95 for many years, even though production costs continually creep up. We are able to sell competitively because we operate efficiently. We don't have DVD stores, we don't buy from middlemen and we keep overheads low. Our only location for shipment is head office in Australia. We do take order through our USA office in Las Vegas. USA Phone 702-242 3269, 9-5 Pacific Time.
4. We offer the best quality products.
It has always been our policy to shoot with the highest quality digital equipment that is available. This enables us to edit from high quality material and offer the very best quality products that we can. We also only source top quality DVDs from other producers. Nothing but our best will do at all times.

DVD QUERIES
WHAT DO I DO IF THE DVD I RECEIVE IS FAULTY OR THE WRONG DVD?
Please EMAIL ME FIRST - DO NOT RETURN A FAULTY OR INCORRECT TITLE DVD! GMV Productions will replace any defective DVD with another copy of the same title only. You must contact us within 7 days of receiving the faulty DVD with a brief description of the problem. However your DVD may not really be faulty but suffer some incompatibility with your player.
Before you do advise us that it appears to be faulty, please first check the DVD in your computer DVD drive if possible, or in a friend's DVD player.
Some older DVD players do not play our DVDs, especially if they are not designed to play DVD-R copies. please DO NOT RETURN ANY DVDs TO OUR AUSTRALIAN ADDRESS WITHOUT CONTACTING US FIRST at tina@gmv.com.au and advising us of the problem.
We will then advise you what to do, as there is usually no need to spend postage in returning a faulty DVD to Australia.
As a general rule we do not exchange for a different title, or give refunds. Please be sure that you have ordered the correct DVD that you want.
See our phone contact details in USA, if unable to email us in Australia regarding any such problem.
HOW ARE OUR DISCS REPRODUCED?
All DVDs manufactured by GMV are made in professional DVD towers. Most of the DVD discs produced and sold by GMV are burned DVD-R discs, and there are good reasons for this. Because we offer over 1000 different bodybuilding DVDs, most of our DVDs are usually low production and low to small and steady selling items. Burning copies as needed helps keep costs down for the customer too. 99.9% of our sales are through direct mail order and not through stores such as Amazon or Fitness Stores.
Further reasons for burned copies are as follows:
1. Top-up stock made after the original large pressed production run of Dorian Yates or Ronnie Coleman (for example) have sold out
2. Most contest DVDs which have a short life of interest, or
3. Feature DVDs on lesser known stars, or
4. DVDs we import from other small producers in the industry.
All GMV DVDs that are supplied at wholesale are shrink-wrapped. These days (2012 onwards) we use the new modern SLIM light weight DVD cases as this helps keep postage costs down.
Generally speaking, pirate or fake DVDs do not come in professional cases, with professionally printed sleeves and discs, and shrink-wrapping.
DVD STORAGE & SAFE HANDLING
There is only one way to handle your DVDs, and that is very carefully. DVDs are a fragile medium and in fact they are so fragile that even a small smudge or fingerprint or tiny scratch can cause irreparable playback problems. The best advice we can give you on handling DVDs is to avoid getting your fingerprints on the data (bottom) side of the discs. Always hold the DVD with your fingers touching the outside edges, or put your finger in the centre hole and the thumb on the edge.
Touch only the printed label side (face) of the disc if you happen to put your fingers on the disc. Always have either a protective sleeve or the DVD case handy to put the disc back into as soon as you remove it from your DVD player. This is very simple and is the easiest and most effective way to avoid disc damage.
DVDs sustain the most damage by being placed data side down onto a table, desk, mat or what ever, even when the surface looks clean and smooth. Being left anywhere out of the DVD case is asking for trouble. Dust, moisture and small scratches are all enemies of DVDs.
Treat the DVD as gently and carefully as you did your precious long-playing records of the past, for those of you who remember LPs. Look after the DVD and it will have a long and healthy life - much longer than those old vinyl records!
Cleaning your DVDs.
Only use a soft, lint-free cloth lightly moistened with water or a professional DVD cleaning fluid. This cleaning fluid acts as a mild detergent. Only use a fluid specific to the task. Any good electronics or computer store can advise you on what to buy with many kits available for cleaning DVDs and CDs.
Cleaning your DVD drive.
This is a most neglected item and some playing of DVD problems are not caused by scratches or finger marks. It is a good idea to clean your drive every 6 months or so if you are a regular user of DVDs. You can also buy lens-cleaning discs or kits from good electronics stores and these help remove the dust and dirt that can affect the good playback of your DVDs.
DO YOU HAVE YOUR DVDs IN THE NTSC AMERICAN (OR JAPANESE FORMAT)?
All DVDs and VIDEOS we send to USA and any other NTSC countries are automatically only sent in the NTSC system, open region if it is a DVD.
All DVDs we have are marked as NTSC Only on our site. This is EVERY DVD with about one exception.
From the beginning of 2008, we have only been selling DVDs in the NTSC system OPEN REGION, and that includes our own productions at GMV, as well as all imported DVDs. All NTSC DVDs, Open Region play world wide these days. NTSC has become the defacto World DVD System.
BRAZIL - In this country NTSC is the only system that will play in colour. Their DVD players and VCRs generally have systems installed for NTSC.
DVDs that are produced in 16:9 WIDE SCREEN!
We are asked from time to time if we have any DVDs in 16:9 wide screen format. Here are just a few listed below as a teaser titles for you as the list would be extensive if we checked every single DVD that we offer. More and more will be offered in wide screen format in the future when this gradually becomes the norm for new productions world wide.
However DVDs shot in 4:3 still look great when viewed with your Plasma or LCD TV screen set to wide screen size! The guys sure carry a little extra beef this way!

DO I GET A COLOUR COVER WITH MY DVD?
All GMV DVDs are sent with a colour cover and plastic case (where such are available) at no extra charge.
DO YOU HAVE A PRINT CATALOGUE /PRINT BROCHURE OF YOUR DVDs?
Yes a DVD INDEX. Please contact us to have a print DVD Index sent to you. Also, please indicate if there is a particular kind of DVD you are interested in, e.g. Male bodybuilding, female fitness, etc. We produce separate DVD index lists of Male and Female bodybuilding DVDs. These lists can be emailed to you as WORD documents on request.
Mailing List Policy
Regretfully, we no longer operate regular mailing of brochures or a colour catalogue by the postal service, as we have done over the last 40 years. Due to the internet versus the high costs of printing and postage, it is no longer practical.
However, we do know that not everyone has internet access and accordingly we are happy to send on request and via airmail post our DVD catalogue index, either male or female lists or both. Alternatively we do have a DVD disc with over 70 minutes of DVD previews. The print version DVD index/WORD document is updated every few days. Regarding our separate indexes for men's and women's DVDs, please state which one you require.
Our only mailing list is presently our WEEKLY email newsletter mailing list which keeps you abreast with everything new, including contest results, Hard News reports and so on. If you order from us you are automatically included on this list unless you opt out.
You may also request wayne@gmv.com.au to add you to this mailing list if you wish. If you wish to opt out of the mailing list it is very simple to unsubscribe.
You are assured of complete privacy at all times. Your email address and any other details are never ever shared with any other person or company.
WHAT TYPE OF QUALITY ARE THE DVDs?
All our DVDs are professionally produced in colour. However, some are in the category of "Classics" which may be in black and white (where indicated). If any of these were shot on Super 8 film they may have colour but will not have live sound, also the quality will not be as good as present day DVDs.
However, this style gives a true nostalgic feel to the bodybuilders, events and times in which they were filmed. For fans of the champions of days gone by, these videos now on DVD are a must, and regarded by many as "collector’s items".
TAPE FORMATS USED BY GMV SINCE 1980
Please click here to read a short history on the various tape formats used by GMV since 1980 and their relative qualities. We now
WHY ARE THERE NO MENUS OR SELECTABLE CHAPTERS FOR MOST OLDER DVDs?
All of our older contest DVDs and older feature DVDs are made directly from the original MASTER TAPE to the MASTER DVD DISC. As such, they do not have separate or selectable menu chapters. To make a menu and separate chapters involves much costly work, with the costs being far greater than we can justify for the much smaller interest in old material. By simply converting the master tape to a master DVD gives the original master a new life, rather than simply deleting these old contest or old features from our list.
For example, all the old OLYMPIA DVDs, which are all extremely popular and important, only come as direct video to DVD transfers, with no selectable menus. The DVD transfer is the exact same high quality as the original master tape.
The RAM program we use to produce the DVD copies of the original master tapes produces auto chaptering in the DVD of a new point approximately every 5 to 6 minutes. You simply press the SCENE SKIP button to advance the DVD each time to the next point you may be looking for.
All new releases for major contests and all new features we produce have complete and often quite in-depth selectable menus.
WILL GMV PRODUCTIONS BUY MY OLD BODYBUILDING FILMS?
Please contact us if you have any old film (Regular 8, Super 8 or 16mm) which show bodybuilders in any way as we may be interested in buying them. However, we are not interested in any videos from any of our competitors still in business.
HOW DO I KNOW IF AN OLD VIDEO IS NOW ON DVD?
Here is a question we get asked all of the time. "How do I know if the item "SERGIO OLIVA - FRANK ZANE" code number V-115 is available on DVD? From the description, I can't tell if this is a DVD or video. Will it play in USA?"
Answer: How to use our SEARCH Function
Our DVD coding system is very simple on our site. If you type into SEARCH V-115 then open that product file, look at it and close it down again, and hit the "button back" arrow again you are back to the SEARCH screen still showing V-115. This was a VHS tape. Simply type in the letters DVD following the V-115 (with no gaps) and hit Search again now for V-115DVD. A result of " there are no products which match this search" indicates the video is not yet offered on DVD.
When we do author any old VHS master tape to DVD, we then delete the old VHS tape product page.
In this example it would become V-115DVD. No one wants a VHS tape if the video is now on DVD. I have held off putting this old and very popular Zane & Oliva video to DVD while I look for new material on Zane. Then I can re-edit the old video into a super feature on FRANK ZANE ON DVD. Our SERGIO OLIVA "THE MYTH" DVD has already been released. See GMV-690DVD.
We only supply NTSC DVDs, OPEN REGION. These DVDs play everywhere - worldwide. This NTSC standard has become the world system.
DVD PROBLEMS - NO AUDIO SEEMS TO BE PRESENT OR THE PICTURE FREEZES
There are several different ways audio can be encoded and we chose the latest method which is MPEG 2. This is used on most DVDs these days. Older DVD players were only built to play PCM audio and if you had such a player you may not have been able to fully access the soundtrack. If there is an audio or audio output select button on your remote control (as there usually is) then trying the different settings is usually the answer.
If possible check the DVD on a second DVD player, preferably of a different brand? We have noted a problem with some older DVD players that are 3 or 4 years old in playing some of our DVDs. Some "higher-end" players have built-in anti-piracy software which may conflict with some DVD-R discs and some times even with pressed discs.
Please do not send anything back. We will send you a free replacement DVD disc to put into your DVD case if there is a genuine problem. If the picture freezes in 2 different DVD players, this suggests a faulty blank disc may have been used and we will replace it immediately.
You can play any type of DVD disc, NTSC or PAL in your computer or laptop DVD drive if it has one, or in your Playstation. This is a good way to quickly check if the DVD is faulty or not and if it has audio present.
Most of our DVDs will not play in an XBox video game console.
If reporting a playback problem with any DVD, please let us know how old your DVD player is and its brand name. This may help us in sorting out the problem.
DVD BACKGROUND MUSIC USED
We are often asked what music we used during the introduction of the RONNIE COLEMAN - ON THE ROAD DVD which is GMV-620DVD. The music is from a royalty free series of music CDs called 'Music to Hues' and there are dozens of discs in their highly recommended collection. www.music2hues.com
If you are looking for more of the copyright free music we use in our DVDs, particularly throughout 2008 and onwards, it is from a site called www.beats365.com where all tracks are composed by a guy with the alias Nebula.
1980 MR. OLYMPIA
As a result of so many people asking about the details on how and why we filmed this event, there is a special FAQ for it. Because it is an OLYMPIA DVD set, some people expect it to be shot in TV Broadcast quality, like the modern day Olympia DVDs. Our version is the ONLY KNOWN current record of this 1980 contest, and was shot on Super 8 film. Click here for more details.
It is our all time best selling and most popular DVD featuring Arnold and Mike Mentzer in their last contests. The correct full code number of this 2 DVD set is V-103DVDSP.

MUSIC COPYRIGHT
Q. Hello Wayne,
Where I could get the music you use and these simplistic funky "80s" & "90" tunes, and some extended music info in that regard?
I think you said that there was an (online) company where one can listen to hundreds of these synthesizer tunes and purchase them.
A. Hi Jason,
This is the group we use - it has the best possible deal, but is more modern hip hop style music and does have a great variety.
It is music by Nebula and is Royalty Free once you pay a once-off joining fee. http://www.beats365.com/phowtoorder.html

Hit enter, and the site searches for and brings up a list of all the relevant DVDs. If no item is listed, send an email to wayne@gmv.com.au , and we will check our files to see what we can find.
WHAT DO ALL THE CODE NUMBERS MEAN?
The "GMV" code means the DVD was videotaped, edited and produced by GMV Productions. Except for the Classic Collections, where most of the material was shot on film then transferred to video masters by GMV. The numbers are chronological, i.e., low numbers are earlier and higher numbers are the latest release.
The "V" series 99 – 157 etc were mostly shot by GMV on film and transferred to broadcast quality DVD masters.
The other "V’ numbers are co-produced by GMV and our associated producers overseas. Such as the Iron Man Pro series.
The "A" series are DVDs that were NOT shot or produced by GMV Productions, such as Olympia contests, some old contest DVDs, documentaries and workout tapes which GMV has bought or licensed.
Whatever the code you will always find that GMV Productions always has the lowest prices where possible. The price shown on the web site is always the current correct price, just in case you happen to find a different price listed on an old magazine advert, index listing or brochure.
SITE MAP
GMV's new SITE MAP is now live!
You can now quickly and easily browse the full content of the GMV web site, thanks to this brand new SITE MAP. It gives you a private window into the furthest corners of the GMV site.
It allows you to search by category and takes you straight to where you want to go. Every time a new page or product or article is created by the site editor, it will instantly appear in the SITE MAP. Simply click the back arrow after each item you select in order to get back to the main index of the Site map. It has many drop downs menus to explore.
What is a Site Map? It is really like a Table of Contents in a book, with clickable links for fast navigation. A Site Index is another possible description in that our Site Map provides a general top-down view of the overall site contents - at a single glance.
I think of it as the GPS "sat nav" of the GMV site, so that visitors can quickly access all content - and any destination on the site!
Our Site Map lists subject groupings which lead to the various individual pages on the GMV web site, organized in simple hierarchical fashion.
To test it out, please click here for the SITE MAP. It also appears on the BLUE bar across the top of the site on every page.
