Thanks for sharing this. It's always good to keep up with what's going on in
the world of commercial, for-profit video distribution.

Zediva was an interesting idea, anyway. As I recall , Zediva was focusing on a
market for streamed video of DVDs that had just been released, before the other
streaming services were allowed to offer them. It stands to reason that it
would be effectively attacked because it was stepping on a
In terms of copyright law there is often not that much difference between
commercial and non profit particularly when the issue is the use of an
entire work. One of the most common misconceptions is that Fair Use is
limited to non commercial/non profit use, which is not true. Likewise most

Hi,
While Zediva may have been an interesting attempt to exploit what seemed
to be a semantic loophole in the copyright code, such a
physical-copy-based model simply doesn't scale. Previous VOD schemes
dating from the '80s on could never crack this problem beyond very limited
tests.

Greetings,
I'm beginning to plan a VHS holdings survey where our first step would be to
determine how many of our VHS collections might be unavailable on DVD. I do
have Gary's 8/11/11 Berkely's 'VHS ONLY' list . Are there updates,
compiled or other lists available in addition to Gary's?
Hi
No updates on this end.
It may go without saying, but...I'd definitely focus on non-fiction film
first (maybe exclusively).
When approaching feature (i.e. non-fiction), start with foreign language
films first.
There are certain distributors that are no longer in business:

Best of all possible worlds, John!

Hey Gary,
Do you have a link to your list of VHS ONLY titles?? We've embarked on
a VHS -- DVD project here too.
Thanks!

FYI I don't know how will check the what is out on DVD but make sure not to
forget the Warner Bros archive titles. I guess now that they are on Amazon
it may be easier to spot but some still fall through the cracks as
unreleased.

You're a better librarian than I am, Tyra...couldn't find my original
anywhere.
I also sent a subsequent listing of literary adaptations and performances
that seem to be OP...list attached.

In Gary's original message there is this postscript:
PS: Chris Lewis...weren't you maintaining a list of titles that had never
been released on DVD? If so, could you pls publish the list. Merci!
Chris, do you indeed have such a list?
I wonder if some enterprising media librarian(s) should
Hi All,
Does anyone know if Bathing Babies in Three Cultures is available for purchase
anywhere?
Many thanks,

Well, yeah...messy and a moving target.

I was wondering the same---and Gary or someone else might have a good
sense of this---seems that maintaining such a list could be messy
business, eh?

Um - a question from the peanut gallery - Wouldn't a list of vhs titles
that have not been released on DVD, while not infinite, be very very
large, and almost unwieldy to maintain? Just sayin, but for your
level, what do I know.

Hi Becky,
It seems like the hard part, creating the list, has been done.
Gary, you mentioned that the grant included NYU, have they published their
list? Also, was there a deliverable for the grant? Was it just the list you
published or was there also something else, if you're allowed to
