[Videolib] disc storage devices

2011-06-02 Thread Clifford, Tom
We've been using the Imation Stakka disc storage devices for storing our circulating DVDs, and they are a constant headache. It seems they're not really capable of handling the volume of use they get here. On reading customer reviews of other comparable devices, it looks like they all have the

Tom, we also elected to remove discs from their cases so that we could have better theft protection while still keeping the original DVD cases out in the stacks for browsing. We simply invested in a sturdy, multi-drawer cabinet which holds inexpensive slim disc cases like these:

Jessica--you do rant a lot and I have poked some irritants in your direction recently, but I wanted to add that I'm glad you are on the list and always ready with information, case studies, and valiant defense of the rights owners. I have understood the situation so much more fully from reading

This may be a solution, if rather than getting new cabinets we re-package into small and thin cases. O. At 08:52 AM 02/06/2011, you wrote: Content-Language: en-US Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=_000_EB1E4106A574F649AEED38D97D0273BC66690E70Ex2010Mailstore_ Tom, we also elected

Nice explanation -- musicologimetrics on that one. That makes sense, it's enough time to hear the tune and maybe get to the bridge. Those percentages work out, I hadn't considered the clip time as a percentage and was wondering why 50 rather than 30? Cheers, Randal - Original Message

That should still be Sony Classics. They do their stuff directly except for few titles New Yorker still has, but I would imagine that one is back to Sony. I am sure someone here has contact for them, but I don't On Thu, Jun 2, 2011 at 12:06 PM, Edwards, Mary meedwa...@aii.edu wrote: Same

That one was a mess for years. I know Jack Nicholson is at least a part owner. Best thing to track any title down is to start with the company that has it out in home video. Assuming they don't have PPR rights someone there knows who they got the rights from, the trick is getting them to give you
