shaping dough

Does anyone know where I can either purchase or view a video of shaping of french bread dough??    I started making french bread about a week ago, and while it tastes ok, the crumb is not as it should be, and there is usually a large slit through the inside where I have tried to shape it. Any help would be appreciated. I am using the recipe from Peter Reinharts Bread Baking Apprentice book.

Try Daniel's Rustic Bread

www.danielsrusticbread.com

He has several videos, one is Baguettes and Traditional French Bread.

Also, King Arthur flour has a good DVD on baguettes.
