I'm finishing another title at the moment so as soon as I'm done, I think VTC will cut me loose on Carrara 8.

Both Lynda and VTC are excellent tutorial providers.  There are a couple of things I like about VTC, They are willing to support non-major software with tutorials - like Carrara -  and their terms are better for the authors (this of means they pay better, but that translates into tutorials I'm willing to spend more time on which ultimately rewards the viewer)

I've spoken to several authors that have provided tutorials  for both Lynda and VTC and their consensus is VTC is simply nicer to work with because they allow more freedom for authors in creating tutorials and are also more flexible in scheduling. The scheduling is a big thing since creating tutorials are not the "main" job of any of the authors. 

VTC also has more robust offering of business applications too, whereas Lynda is more narrowly focused on creative/creation software. So, my feedback from viewers that subscribe to VTC is that they get good stuff for Carrara and other CG packages but also have viewed some tutorials for business software they use at work since many Carrara users are not full-time artists or in the CG industry . 

Just the crazed ravings of a lunatic madman...
