That is 99% true Gary. There are a few exceptions like WB Archive titles ( which are actually sold by some enterprising folks on Amazon who buy from WB and resell) and the occasional film owned by a company like Zeitgeist or Kino that is too new or perhaps too specialized to make the home market but which they will sell via PPR copies. However I would say 100% of the time if it some company you never heard of and especially if it seems to have a number of titles not available in the general market. Also I would check Amazon, Mid-West Tape, NetFlix and for some Hollywood stuff Critics Choice ( they used to have some exclusive deals) to be on the safe side.

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.
