OT: FCP tutorial DVD?

Hello all,
Calm down, Vegas is still my fav. The school I'm teaching at has decided to purchase some Mac G5s with Production Suite (FCP HD, Motion, DVD Studio Pro, Soundtrack) so I'd better learn them fast. Can anyone of you guys recommend some good tutorial/training DVD's for these programs?

P.S Apparently FCP is the fastest growing platform in Sweden right now. Damn. :)

Not off the top of my head, but I'd like to learn FCP... or really, Motion. That seems like a really great titling tool, with a neat approach to animation. Instead of keyframes, you just drag and drop commands, like zoom in, zoom out.

Okay, I'm stretching.

Rich Harrington or Philip Hodgetts, these guys are the total champs. Rich's "On the Spot" book series is wonderful as well

Call me old fashioned, but I still prefer After Effects. But I do use Motion (and FCP) at work, and I understand the appeal.
Motion is to After Effects, just as something like Particular or Particle Illusion is to Maya or Lightwave for particle effects.
