Amazon does not check who is the seller or if a DVD is a bootleg.
After finding out that they sold unauthorized copies I refuse to do
business with them

Hi All,
I'm looing for videos on the subject of contemplative science, mediation, or
yoga, but as a cultural phenomenon rather than a how-to. Any suggestions?
Cheers,

A title that comes to mind is Kumare -- might not be an exact fit, but
an interesting look at a small community's reaction to a yogi master /
guru who's not what he seems:

We got a DVD-R copy about 6 years ago from this source...
http://www.casacinepoa.com.br/os-filmes/produ%C3%A7%C3%A3o/curtas/ilha-das-flores
It's better than nothing and has helped take the burden off our Icarus VHS.
I believe it's a legal copy, since it is legit distributor-- it's just a
bummer
I think there is still a lot of educational stuff available only on DVD-R.
If well made it should not cause a big problem.

I know most of you do not like blu-ray but I would like to know how much a

The New York Film Academy is a blu-ray campus in that we have blu-ray
players in all of the classrooms and it's our preferred medium for discs.
In addition to providing the highest visual and audio quality I love that

Unfortunately I suspect you are an outlier. Blu ray is of course common for
feature films which I imagine is mostly what you use, alas not common at
all for educational video My film is basically both and the producers
wanted to do it in the best available format visually but alas the
Unfortunately you're right, Jessica -- my institution does not have the
same take as Mr. Moorman's. The Library is not given input into how
classrooms are outfitted or what technologies are supported. Few

If I was a cash strapped University I'd hitch my wagon to streaming. Hard copy,
no matter the quality, will ultimately go away.

Producers have all the rights in perpetuity but I don't think they want to
manage their own streaming and certainly don't want to sub license it so I
suspect it will only work for schools that stream on their own system but I
agree that streaming should be better for schools that can do it.

Best of luck on your cryptic endeavor! As we're a relatively small

We do not have a single Blu-Ray player on campus. I've been asking for 2
years now. All classrooms are equipped with dual VHS=DVD players, and I
suspect when they go, they'll be replaced with whatever is sturdy and
reliable, whatever that may be.
I had never heard that Blu-Ray was less prone
I think your assumptions are wrong.
Jane Hutchison and my study show that libraries are NOT acquiring Blu Ray
(in general).
My own computer does not have a BR drive, the Library does not have a BR
player, and the University does not support BR in it's computers/classroom
equipment.

A related question:
I would be interested to know if academic libraries are passing on Blu-ray
media due to the lack of players (as Deg mentioned) or because they were burnt
on laserdisc adoption in the eighties (or HD DVDs in the Blu-Ray war).

I am well aware that universities do not want to acquire Blu ray but I
admit I am surprised that the library does not have a single Blu ray
player. I guess my feeling is that if there is enough demand for the
material schools will find a way to use it. In your case if you were
interested you could
In my own circumstance I pass on Blu Ray because having a BR copy means
that I also buy the standard DVD version, since not everyone has a BR
player.
A technical issue that most folks miss is that in a classroom using data
projection, the image is no better from a BR player than from a standard
For us, Matthew, it's more about a dearth of players. To my knowledge, we have

We are not 'passing' on Bluray media -- we limit our purchases to those
titles that are especially visual or have been very well restored, such
as BBC Planet Earth-type programs and restorations like the Kubrick
films, or films that are very popular and for which we need multiple
copies. But
Jessica: I don't think it has anything to do with like or dislike. It has more
to do with availability and budget, and of course, as others have said, who
makes the decisions. We have no Blu-ray players in either institution

Hello Jessica,
A quick keyword search for 'Blu-ray' in our catalog pulls up over 1,800
results, and this may be close to correct. We order Blu-rays instead of DVDs
whenever possible. We do not have a problem making Blu-ray players available
for classrooms. I am not aware of any problems
