[Videolib] Streaming Video Collections
Hello video librarians - I haven't been monitoring the list of late, so please forgive if this has been addressed recently. I'm curious about how academic librarians are approaching collecting streaming video these days. Are you subscribing to, or purchasing collections e.g., from Films Media Group, or Filmmakers Library and other collections from Alexander St. Press, or Docuseek, or all of these and more? Or are you trying to deal with it on a shoestring? And if so, in what ways? Have you noticed an uptick in the use of streaming video by faculty, esp. in relation to an increase in online courses? Has your media budget increased, stayed the same, or decreased in recent years? Do you think your faculty are satisfied with, not noticing, or unhappy with what your library is able to offer? Any responses, off-list or on, would be greatly appreciated.

[Videolib] US distributor for Admiral?
Hi there - I am trying to find a distributor (preferably U.S.) for the 2008 Russian blockbuster film Admiral, (not the 2009 TV series of the same name). All I have found so far is a site - DVDcake.com Diane Diane Sybeldon Fine and Performing Arts and Media Librarian Wayne State University Library System Detroit, Michigan 48202 Office: 1210 Undergraduate Library Phone: 313-577-4480 Fax: 313-577-5265 email: ac7...@wayne.edu VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions.

[Videolib] Americas Mirrors of the Heart - available?

[Videolib] cumulative top DVD rentals lists
Hi there: Can anyone recommend a source that publishes cumulative Top DVD Rentals lists? The only online source I found is IMDB's - which includes the information but isn't cumulative, and is viewable only week by week, back to 1998. Box Office Mojo didn't seem to have what I wanted either. A faculty member is looking for a cumulative measure of popularity. I've referred him to a good Box Office list, but he would like more than ticket sales. He is also interested in Variety's All-Time Film Rental Champs lists, but it appears that the term film rental in this case refers to the cost exhibitors pay to rent films from distributors, not video rental. Aside from that, does anyone know if these lists are still published? Any help would be most appreciated. And Happy New Year!

[Videolib] PAL permissions question
Hi there - This is a PAL permissions question. Are there differences in permission requirements for libraries versus campus foreign language tech centers for PAL DVD conversion to NTSC? In other words, must a library seek permission from a producer to reformat, but a campus Foreign Language Tech Center not have to seek permission? The difference being the added circulation factor of the library, both reformatting for educational use.

Just to clarify, at that time (mid-90s)the media library had a policy of converting a tape in its collection but (in principle) destroying the original so that a purchased tape was replaced by the converted tape. I briefly took over the Media Library around 1999 and found that there was a big pile of PAL or SECAM originals that had been converted but not tossed. I pulled the NTSC copies and replaced them with the originals, adding information about how to get a multi-standard player from classroom support. As I said, multi-standard DVD players are very common now and include ALL computer DVD drives (at least I think so).
