I believe it is just the US amazon, and if you type in keywords you are offered a choice of books, dvds, music... and others. Here's a DVD output, and I see that it has the RDA 33x fields. Remember that someone created this for his own purposes, so rather than looking on it as a fully-formed tool, I think we should see it as a proof of concept.

511 1  Starring Donald Sutherland.
520 A film of rare visual daring and imagination in which easch frame is meticulously and attentively designed. Fellini's Casanova one of the Italian maestro's most sumptuous productions. In an astonishing piece of screen acting, Donald Sutherland portrays Casanova in his waning days, engaging in various amorous and political adventures with an air of bored detachment as he travels through a disease-ridden Europe. Imbued with a romantic pessimism, the film debunks with myth of Casanova as a great lover and instead presents him as an ordinary man swept along by extraordinary circumstances. Featuring a compelling and complex score by long standing collaborator, Nino Rota. Fellini's Casanova also boasts Oscar winning costume design by Danilo Donati. Shot entirely lavish sound-stages of Rome's Cinecitta Studios, the film is popularly viewed as the directors elegiac farewell to a bygone era of Italian Cinema.

Quoting "Kelleher, Martin" <[email protected]>:

I have to say, I'd expect Amazon to have more relevant/publisher/edition specific records than anything from IMDb. Does this site cover the multiplicity of Amazons (i.e. Amazom.co.uk, Amazon.de) etc., do you know, or just Amazon.com?

Hi,

I would be more interested in a system which harvests MARC records
from IMDb.  There is a much larger oercentage of records for motion
pictures acquired as DVDs by libraies lacking MARC records, to be found
on IMDb, than library books lacking MARC records to be found on Amazon.

Though a great many commercially available DVDs can be found on
Amazon, no?  That said, I agree that a similar service built on IMDb
would be very useful.

Regards,
