Warner is fine so is Columbia. Universal has an on demand DVD-R so does MGM, The Universal DVD quality is fine, however the MGM is not good. Many of them appear to have been transferred from VHS tapes, such as "The Glory Guys," "Garbo Talks," and "Trapeze," The quality of "Le Streghe (The Witches) "The Spikes Gang," and "The White Buffalo," are not bad. These are all from the United Artist catalog, which MGM owns.

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.
