At my work we use the VenMill Buffer ( http://www.venmill.com/products/vmi3500.html), and it usually works like a dream! Rather than checking for damage when things are returned, we take a look at the disc when someone checks it out and buff it then, if necessary.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
