Best book/DVD source for Olympic weightlifting instruction?

I am moving from strength training to power training in order to improve athletic performance. Specifically, I am adding the clean and jerk (no snatch for now) to my program. I am not looking to compete in Olympic weightlifting. Rather, I am using the Olympic lifts to improve my power output.

I therefore need instruction on the Olympic lifts beyond Rippetoe's (excellent) overview of the power clean in Starting Strength. I train at home, so in addition to in-person coaching, I'd like to have a book or DVD available as reference on the clean, jerk, and perhaps the snatch in the future. Which sources should I look to?
