All, I would only add to Gary's reply that if you do not need PPR and the distributor offers with or without PPR from their own site, please purchase direct from the distributor as more of the revenue from the purchase goes to the filmmaker. This is certainly true when you purchase from Kino Lorber Edu.

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.
