[Videolib] Fwd: REMINDER: Join the Artstor Twitter Chat today at 1 PM: Teaching Visual Literacy

[Randal Baier]

This possibly might interest anybody --- inside a small circle of friends. 


I'm tempted to start a twitter chat to stop the war in Syria. Let's see -- with 
the time shift, let's say start at 3pm EST? -- PEACE! in our time by 9? 
Details at 11? 


Be among the 140 -- activate your power.

More than at any other time in history, images dominate our lives. Instructors 
need the resources to teach students how to find visual media, interpret its 
meaning, evaluate its sources, use it effectively, and explain the ethical, 
legal, social, and economic issues surrounding its creation and use. 

Join Artstor's User Services team and your fellow instructors on Twitter to 
share your experiences, successes, and challenges—and your questions—on 
teaching Visual Literacy. 
Among the questions up for discussion will be: 

* What place does visual literacy have in your curriculum? 
* Which departments teach it? 
* What resources do you use? 




Follow and participate 
with @ArtstorHelp on February 9, 
1-2 PM EST (10-11 AM PST)

[Videolib] Best DVD format for Home viewing

[Patricia Ruocco]

I am looking into purchasing the movie "Black Sabbath" with Boris Karloff for 
our public library's DVD collection. Midwest Tape lists two versions: one that 
just says DVD, and a newer one that is a DVD-R. My inclination is to get the 
DVD, but it is fullscreen where the DVD-R is widescreen. We usually order 
widescreen versions of films, but I'm concerned whether patrons taking a DVD-R 
home for viewing will run into compatibility problems with their players and 
this format. Can the group offer some guidance?


Thank you!

Patricia

The American expert on Mario Bava is Tim Lucas of Video Watchdog. He would
have a good opinion on this. His email is pr...@videowatchdog.com

Looking at the information, the Arrow Blu-ray version from England seems to
be the best, but that might be region-blocked (though I doubt it) and
you're looking for DVD.

Kino Lorber usually does good work and it seems they are offering the
English version in the release. You might want to call them and ask.

If there's a DVD-R version, I suspect it's not good.

[Bergman, Barbara J]

In the case of old films like this, you should be looking at which seems to be 
a legit vendor (Kino Lorber) vs sketchy (Cheezy. Seriously, that's who's listed 
as distributor for one listing in Amazon).

There is a widescreen regular DVD out there from Kino so you might check
with Midwest tape as I know they buy  from them
