"Since DVD’s rarely survive a year of academic/student use"?!!
Here at San Francisco State University we still have the first DVD we
purchased in 1998 on the shelf, and over 3,800 others. We have a DVD
repair machine but only use it a few times a semester. We only check
out to faculty, though - and get replacements from them if they damage
or lose it.
What do other academic libraries have to say about DVD damage?

Since in your eye, we have the item for use for years and years,
then you need to sell it on a media that lasts years and years.
Since DVD’s rarely survive a year of academic/student use, it sure
would be nice if Filmmakers/Vendors provided (free or for shipping
costs) replacement copies for damaged media formats.
Thanks,

Subject: [Videolib] Filmmakers are not your enemies
I know I am a newbie here and at the risk of alienating folks, I
need to speak up for the filmmakers perspective.
Trust me when I say, we filmmakers are not trying to get rich off
our projects. We just want to make a living and to be fairly
compensated for our work. Often times, we embark on our films
because they are subjects that personally matter to us, in my case,
it was a family friend who had been murdered, and we devote years to
it without getting any monetary compensation. We are just trying to
recoup our costs.
Now, why the price difference? It's because you will be showing
these films as often as you like (for years) and you will be making
money off our work through tuition and other fees. If you amortize
it, it's still a pretty good deal for your institutions. Would you
prefer if we didn't offer the home version and just had the one
institutional price?
And to show a "home" version when it is specifically stated that is
not the intended purpose, I think is morally wrong, just like
downloading copyrighted video or music off the internet. But then,
again, some people have no problem doing that either. So I suspect
that I lot of people will be doing that. The loser in that is the
artist. Sigh.
In the end, we are all trying to help educate the population. We
share a common goal and it's wrong to think we are your adversaries.

I see no reason that the home video cannot be purchased for that
use, unless for reason the "seminar" is outside the realm of a
classroom situation....and the university is clearly not a for-
profit institution.

Welcome to Canada !!
This is what we face every day, we have no choice of not purchasing
University copies with PPR (Public Performance Rights) like you
lucky folks do in the US.

$300.00 for a video for universities and colleges vs $25.00 for a
video for home use and one faculty member wants to view it to maybe
show to a seminar of 15 students... and I have to say no because I
can't fit it into the budget at $300.00. No one will ever convince
me that this cost differential is justifiable when it's being used
in the classroom for 15 students.
OK, said it, no need to reply because I know what you'll all say. J

Greetings VRT-ers:
Well, not really a "VS" but a concurrence.
Just wanted to let you folks know who are trying to do both at DC that
the SilverDocs schedule is slowly being revealed. Each year there is a
theme that precedes and follows the Guggenheim honoree. We can finally
tell you that this years honoree is Frederick Wiseman. He and his
films
will be present at both the Festival and Conference. Those of you who
are trying out the educator pass for Friday or are around Saturday
night
may have access to an event or two with him. I'm trying to see if
one or
a combination of vouchers can get you into the big Guggenheim event
too.
Stay tuned...
http://silverdocs.com/news-links/2010/05/06/frederick-wiseman-named-guggenheim-honoree/
Also: if some of you were thinking of the educator pass, but couldn't
decide or were sold out, there are a few back, however at $150 price
now. Still, if you missed out on an ALA preconference but still have
at
least Friday free, its well worth it, and cheaper then most
preconferences.

As usual, any questions feel free to contact me directly. And it is
possible to be two places at the same time.

Many of you have brought up the fact that your video collections were
going.
I thought you'd get a kick out of this.
