Ron, I have some experience with selling music over iTunes. I suspect that a lot of this applies to selling video on iTunes. If you go to iTunes personally by filling in their online form, it can take six months or more to get your music onto the store because they have such a backlog of private applications to get through... and apparently sometimes they just never get back to you. So the best thing to do is to use a distributor/aggregator. However, most of them will screw you on rights, T&C and charges. The company we chose (no personal association, just did research) was Tunecore, whose big selling point is that they don't take ANY rights or royalties, whereas other companies like CDBaby and The Orchard have sneakier T&Cs. Tunecore don't advertise a video service, but it might be worth getting in touch with them to see if they can do it for you if you choose the iTunes route. Or there may be other companies that specialise in video distribution to iTunes etc, but beware T&Cs.

Anybody have any experience navigating the iTunes pay for play scheme? I'm going to look into that right now. How many people would pay a few bucks to learn to teach their dog learn to retrieve in just a few minutes? Any help or discussion would be appreciated.
