Yes, Digital Tutors is a really great site. I've been using them for years for 3D education (and it's VERY well know throughout the 3D industry). Even though a lot of their videos require a subscription, there are quite a lot of free ones as well.

They do have a monthly subscription plan now that's only $45, so it's not terribly expensive to sign up for a month, sponge what you want to see, then cancel. As cheap or cheaper than even a single DVD in their old model or from Gnomon. I was lucky enough to get a free subscription as part of my college enrollment, and they've allowed me to keep it after graduation. Which is only reasonable, considering how much private for-profit colleges cost these days.
