FYI I don't know how will check the what is out on DVD but make sure not to forget the Warner Bros archive titles. I guess now that they are on Amazon it may be easier to spot but some still fall through the cracks as unreleased.

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.
