In 2007, Beate Steger walked 900km from St-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Santiago de Compostela and then onto Finisterre.  In this DVD she describes her journey on the Camino Francés with pictures, film, music and original sound recordings as well as six other alternative routes to Santiago that avoid the main stream of pilgrims.  There are, for instance, the Coastal Route which is walked by 5000 pilgrims each year, or the Primitive Route which is considered to be the oldest of all the pilgrim routes.  By carefully combining these routes you can plan your own personal route that guarantees the amount of solitude you require while still including some of the highlights of the main route since all the alternative routes join up with the Camino Francés at some point.  This is a comprehensive and authentic documentation of this popular pilgrimage, including many practical tips for your own pilgrimage.  The DVD has a menu control and chapter selection.
