Here's my 2 cents:

The layout is good which will make people find things easier and quicker.

A few things that could be improved on the design (i.e. the physical look of the site) are:

1) Center the site. It looks better if it's centered.

2) The top part of the site has a lot of unused space.
There is dull grey band at the top, then a thinner blue one, a large blue one that contains the red banner. This is useless space. Consider shrinking it down. It adds nothing to the site.

3) The red banner is too large. I see the Power to Paint text along with the slogan in the corner of this large banner. Again . . .wasted space. I would also suggest you get a strong logo.

4) The pictures work well I like them.

5) The menu is at the bottom of the page (when first loaded at a 1024 x 800 res.) and is just barely above the fold.

The menu needs to be more visible and needs to be much much higher up. All that padding at the top has pushed the menu too far down.

6) I would consider a different color then the dark gray for the displays of videos. The pictures of the videos themselves look great.

7) You could have icons or graphics for 'download' or 'buy DVD' just to break things up a bit.

8 ) The text should be a little bit padded. Reading from one end to the other is quite long so I would shrink the width of that blurb after the videos.

9) A footer that looked separate from the body could be added.

Anyway, I hope that helps. Keep tinkering with it . . . you'll get it.
