Regioncode 0 + NTSC is an informal standard for DVD publishing worldwide. Players sold in countries using PAL always play back NTSC, too. They do not output a true (625/25) PAL signal but rather a hybrid of PAL and NTSC known as PAL 60 (or pseudo PAL) with 60 standing for 60 Hz, instead of 50 Hz. So playback of NTSC discs on PAL standard TVs is no problem. In Europe DVDs published for distribution worldwide are mastered in NTSC, for example many with classical music content as concerts and operas.

It's transcribed as such in the 538 field. Obviously, this DVD works just fine here in the US and our patrons will have no problems using it, but now I'm just curious: is this actually correct? I was under the impression that NTSC was just a different way of saying Region 1. I looked at the Wikipedia article on NTSC, as well as the NTSC website (http://www.ntsc-tv.com) and now I'm more confused because NTSC apparently refers to some sort of color information system. Any information would be appreciated. It's not going to affect my cataloging of this DVD; I'd just like to understand.

Re: [Videolib] FW: Institutional Version of Film Pane Amaro/Bitter Bread
Dear Chris, Even as a distributor, I'm disturbed by these emails but I do know that producer/directors don't have as much experience in these matters, are very protective of their limited income even if it means stretching the truth, and so I give them the benefit of the doubt. I would just politely say that you understand that you don't have public screening rights and that for library and classroom use, US Copyright Title 17 allows you these rights. § 110. Limitations on exclusive rights: Exemption of certain performances and displays43 http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#1-43 Notwithstanding the provisions of section 106,http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#106 the following are not infringements of copyright: (1) performance or display of a work by instructors or pupils in the course of face-to-face teaching activities of a nonprofit educational institution, in a classroom or similar place devoted to instruction. If they still persist, I wouldn't reply again.

Re: [Videolib] FW: Institutional Version of Film Pane Amaro/Bitter Bread
I suspect they are genuinely clueless and I second Dennis on sending them a copy of the copyright law dealing with the Face to Face exemption. I think there are some people who know better who try to claim that libraries and colleges must pay more, even if a film has been released in the home video market, but I suspect these folks don't.

Re: [Videolib] Institutional Version of Film Pane Amaro/Bitter Bread
Stream the letter, stream it! ;-) Margery, I have to disagree about the addition. No poor filmmaker (or distributor) wants to hear about how poor a university is. I know its true these days, and I sympathize, but even a bankrupt university can never be poorer than an artist (How does a folk singer get a million dollars? Start off with two million.) and more importantly, I always tell Amy the less reasons you give in a letter why you can't do something, the less they can argue with.

Does anyone have information about this four minute film from 1963? Has it been transferred to beta sp, digibeta or DVD format? Is it possible to rent for a special film screening? Thank you.

Re: [Videolib] Mel Brooks - The Critic
I haven't seen it available (legally) on video, but there's a ton of 16mm prints around and it's on YouTube. The best bet is Sony because it was originally a Columbia release. It should always be paired with a Norman McLaren short (most likely Begone Dull Care) since that's what inspired it.

Re: [Videolib] Mel Brooks - The Critic
Thanks. If we can get our hands on it as DVD it is indeed paired with Begone Dull Care. Hopeful to get our entire program on DVD for seamless presentation so clunky to switch formats. I¹ll check with Sony.
