I have dealt once or twice with YesAsia.com, and as I remember, they were

 Dear CW,

 *Question 1:  Does anybody know if a shorter version of Farewell my
 concubine than the original 172 minutes is available.  I have found a
 listing for an Australian version at 152 minutes.  Is the timing off or for
 the Australian market they edited scenes out of the movie?*

 *Question 2:  Has anybody done business with YesAsia.com to purchase
 films?  Do they supply the films in a timely manner?  I am interested in
 obtaining a copy of Kong Que = Peacock.  They have the “Hong Kong” version
 listed on their site.*

 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. It is hoped that the list will serve as
 an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of
 communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video
 producers and distributors.
