[Videolib] Writing on Double Sided DVDs?

2011-04-04 Thread Seay, Jared Alexander
We are receiving an increasing number of Double Sided DVD's upon which we want to put some identifying mark. Our cataloging librarian wants to know if writing on one side (that obviously contains data) will damage or interfere with the playback?Any ideas? Thanks. Jared Alexander Seay

There are special pens designed to write on discs, but I've read it's still not suggested. Consider writing directly on the hub, or purchasing blank hub labels. Kim Stanton Head, Media Library University of North Texas kim.stan...@unt.edu P: (940) 565-4832 F: (940) 369-7396 -Original Me

I think you will damage the data, but there is a tiny ring in the center that you can mark. - richard On Apr 4, 2011, at 7:26 AM, Seay, Jared Alexander wrote: We are receiving an increasing number of Double Sided DVD's upon which we want to put some identifying mark. Our cataloging librarian

Thanks for the input. We know about the label rings. Our catalogers are reluctant to put stickers on our DVD's because we used to have all kinds of trouble with stickers on our CD's. They tended to cause the CD to become jammed in the player. Perhaps stickers and players are better these days.

[Videolib] Copyright "waived" on Bolivian film?

Anyone know about this? A faculty member is asking us to stream this film for his course and says that the copyright was "waived" by the director at the time of its distribution. We don't even own a copy: "The film is titled 'Yawar mallku Sangre del condor = Blood of the condor', directed by

I don't exactly by this story that he mailed it out and waived the copyright. First off he would have to own the copyright to waive it, most directors don't own their films.

Honestly Michael Berne & GATT confuse me re differences, but as Berne did not protect anything from Europe which is why GATT took so much out I kind of doubt it. Googling shows US did not accept Berne until 1988. I am sure Dennis would know the answer. On Mon, Apr 4, 2011 at 12:40 PM, Brewer, Mich

well they are made to order. I am just catching up with this. I thought Turner made a deal with Amazon. I don't think they go through what I would call "regular" wholesalers on the Archive product, but my guess is some buy it when it is on sale to service customers. On Mon, Apr 4, 2011 at 12:32 PM

It's intriguing in that it doesn't really look like a bootleg - with all the subtitle options and it being NTSC Region 1. It's for sale nowhere else so I'd imagine it's a legit screener for film festival/Academy Awards use. On Mon, Apr 4, 2011 at 3:39 PM, Sarah E. McCleskey < sarah.e.mccles...@hof

I did not have to get past the $9.95 price, the NTSC format and that the seller is in China to know that yes it is a bootleg. Pretty much anything and everything from Asia on eBay is a bootleg. It appears to be a film that probably had no US release but is certainly owned by some company. Again ru
