In any case, DVD-R suggests a burned copy, not a master-pressed disc and yes, it may be more likely to have playing issues in older DVD players or some computers. I would go for the Kino-Lorber to avoid any region issues, and a lot of people still do not have Blu ray players. Val G. On Tue, Feb 9,

Hi, We are looking at the new iTunes U, which is tied to iPads. As a Mac-oriented school, that makes sense for us. If you have the usual mix of everything, that's probably not going to work. Take a look at Softchalk. I have heard some good things about it. Val Gangwer On Wed, Dec 19, 2012 at 2:32

I would say Hulu or HuluPlus, if you want to subscribe. They carry full episodes of lots of stuff, much of it currently in production. Val Gangwer On Tue, Feb 21, 2012 at 9:48 AM, Tom Ipri wrote: > What are people's favorite/most recommended places to find TV shows and > films that are currently

I agree with Gary on this one. Snippets that add up to 5 minutes from a film is fair use. Val Gangwer On Thu, Jan 5, 2012 at 4:12 PM, James Leftwich wrote: > > Hello, > > I work for a for-profit college so classroom exceptions do not apply. I > have a professor who wants to screen the feature "T
