Hi there - This is a PAL permissions question.
Are there differences in permission requirements for libraries versus campus foreign language tech centers for PAL DVD conversion to NTSC? In other words, must a library seek permission from a producer to reformat, but a campus Foreign Language Tech Center not have to seek permission? The difference being the added circulation factor of the library, both reformatting for educational use.

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.
