We use DSpace but videos are only available as downloads not streaming. DSpace also doesn't have a specific video interface. All files are cataloged using a common metadata layout.
An imperfect work-around would be to include links from the IR to a separate streaming video server. This is imperfect because each metadata record requires that a physical file be attached to it, a hyperlink won't work. So any links would have to be in the description of a collection or community.

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.
