If you haven't started on groundwork or don't understand it fully, I would definitely start with the groundworks dvd. It will set a sound foundation to which you can then build on with the power of marker training with food and toys dvds.
Marker Training, The Power of Food, The Power of Tug in that order
Each DVD builds on the other. You can get them all in a set at a slight discount, too.
In the Tug DVD it recommends starting with tug toys, then later moving on to a tennis ball if you wish. It's easier to teach a dog how to properly tug using a tug instead of a tennis ball. And with a tug the reward comes completely from interaction with the handler.

This DVD will cover the 'groundwork'. It's going to get your pack structure all set in stone, and that is where you will find the most success in training! They have some package deals that are good too.

I'd go with these too.
That first marker one and then the power of food one are really great marker basics. That first marker one illuminates most of the other videos, too, including the Basic Ob one.
And/or I'm thinking that Basic Ob and the first marker one might be both a good "how to live with a dog" as well as "how to do marker training from point zero" foundation.
These FREE podcasts are all great, too, and numbers 9 and 10 help to illustrate the difference between pack structure groundwork with a puppy and pack structure groundwork with an older dog.
You can see that many folks pretty much agree on a core of certain ones to start with, and mostly just have different preferences as to what order. (The marker videos definitely have a certain order, as Mara points out.) Basic Ob remains a classic for me, but I really like the first marker one along with it because it goes so much more into the step-by-step of marker training.
