I hear a lot about Gerardo Nuñez Encuentro DVD as an invaluable source, I'm afriad I don't have it and the only supplier seems to be la sonata who are a bit pricy! Encuentro vids are not cheap. You do get a DVD and a book. They are not mediocre nobodies you have never heard of apart from their "easy learning flamingo guitar" vids - they are top players. Riqueni, Tomatito, Chicuelo, Gerardo, Moraíto, Pepe Habichuela, Enrique de Melchor, Manolo Franco etc. playing their own falsetas that you hear them playing accompanying singers and in solos. There is some "break down" of material, but not lots, although most of the stuff is played at normal speed and in slow versions (though some of them seem more like "slightly less fast" versions![:D])
Most of them are an hour long, but the Gerardo one is particularly good value as it's two hours. The first half is devoted to technique, broken up into sections on each technique, pulgar, arpegio, picado etc. You get lots of Gerardo's little exercises and studies, and falsetas that focus particularly on technique etc. It's probably worth the price for that half alone.
You also get another hour of his compositions, again mostly with normal and slow versions (list of this compositions section: 01. Tangos 02. Bulerías 03. Soleá por Bulerías 04. Tanguillo 05. Farruca 06. Vals flamenco 07. Paso doble)

El Flamenco Vive seems to be much cheaper than La Sonata. Are they reliable? AFAIK yes, I have bought from them a few times in the last year or so and they deliver. deflamenco are also reliable, and sometimes cheaper, but worth comparing prices inc. shipping.
