Attack of the Theocrats!
First and foremost RDFRS is about educating the public, in as many ways as we can. The DVDs are a way for our supporters to help us fund these video projects (in addition to donations), but we want these videos to be available to everyone, everywhere, all the time. Email them, tell your coworkers about them around the water cooler, etc.
All of us can help spread rational thinking and scientific ideas.

PS: I was up in Oregon visiting my family for Thanksgiving last year, and a friend of mine started telling me about this great video he saw online with Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, etc—just having this great discussion that you'd never see on TV, and how it really made him think, and how much he loved it. Of course I was excitedly trying to tell him that I shot it!—but that's beside the point. What matters is that the video is out there on the web for all to discover.
Also, the DVD arguably looks better if you have a DVD player with 1080p upscaling, it has chapter markers, and has a booklet with chapter notes.
