[Videolib] Streaming collections and bandwidth

I am investigating the Films Media Group streaming collections and also looking at the Alexander Street Press collections. I am worried about bandwidth issues, both collections will be hosted, but will they still tax our bandwidth so much that they will be frustrating and counterproductive? Does

Re: [Videolib] Streaming collections and bandwidth

We have a number of titles from Films Media Group and several of the video (and audio) databases from Alexander Street Press. Our experience has been extremely positive with both vendors. It's true, bandwidth can be an issue for some institutions, and it has been a concern for us in relation

Re: [Videolib] Streaming collections and bandwidth

Hi Unless you plan on very large numbers of concurrent users (which tends to be rare in most institutions), most hosted streamed collections are fairly easy on bandwidth (at least in my experience). Gary Handman I am investigating the Films Media Group streaming collections and also looking

[Videolib] Status of Dancing video series

Re: [Videolib] PPR for Princess Mononoke

If there are PPR rights available in the US they should belong to Swank, the problem is the film is 11 years old and most contracts on foreign films run 7 to 10 years. If Swank does not have it your best bet on tracking the PPR rights are whoever is currently distributing the DVD IF it is still

[Videolib] Nerves (1919)

Dear CW, Is Robert Reinert's Nerves/Nerven (1919) available in the U.S.? Either purchase or rental would be fine. I know in 2008 there was a Edition Filmmuseum DVD release. It is not listed for sale with the usual suspects. The OCLC record does not mention Region and a British DVD review

Re: [Videolib] Nerves (1919)

Here's the cataloging for our copy: http://169.229.32.116:80/record=b16214898~S34 Bought from Edition Filmmuseum. I'm almost 100% it has never been released in the US. It's PAL, Region 0 with subtitles. Definitely worth getting! Gary Dear CW, Is Robert Reinert's Nerves/Nerven (1919)

Re: [Videolib] Nerves (1919)

You might want to try Gartenberg Media http://www.gartenbergmedia.com/ in NYC since they represent some of the Edition Filmmuseum titles in the US. If not, then you can order them from their website. Their releases are usually zone free. Best, Dennis On Fri, Sep 3, 2010 at 5:39 PM, Karsten,
