We've had a couple of instances where labeled DVDs (we apply a ring label to DVDs) have gotten stuck in Mac computers that have slots (not trays) for discs, both laptop and desktop.

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.
